Davis Studying Designing At New York School NEW YORK, April 9. — Louise Knight Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Knight Davis of Wil mington, N. C., and graduate of New Hanover High school, Wil mington and the Woman’s college of the University of North Caro lina, Greensboro, is a student at the Traphagen School of Fashion in New York, where she is major ing jn costume designing and il lustration. Miss Davis was formerly em ployed as secretary to J. B. Hun tington of the Wilmington YMCA, before entering Traphagen. Miss Davis is enthusiastic over a design competition sponsored for her school by one of the na tion’s largest manufacturers, in order to obtain fresh ideas for the now widespread vogue of the use of buttons as costume trimming. In announcing the contest for her company, Gertrude D. Shaw, gave a talk on the origin and develep ment of buttons which was of un usual interest to the many button collectors who attended as well as to the young designers. First prize for the competition is to be a hundred dollar War Bond, with other awards of Bonds of lesser de nominations. Miss Davis says she has been greatly inspired by the recent Chinese goodwill assembly at the school which will help her to ap preciate the exhibit of Imperial Chinese robes now on view at the Metropolitan Museum and which she is planning to attend. William Poy Lee, national president of the Chinese American Citizens Alliance and unofficial “mayor of China town,” was the principal speaker. An authority on Chinese art, he identified and explained the sig nificance of the intricate and beautiful designs and symbols dec orating a group of magnificent Chinese robes from the Traphagen museum collection, which were modeled by students for the oc casion. As his guest he presented the prima donna of New York s Chinese theater, one of only two such playhouses in the United States, Chu Yen Sum, who demon strated the thrilling 'and sensa tional sword dance in which she defends herself with two gleaming blades against eight imaginary foes. Another popular speaker was Ray Shaw, the famous sculptress of hands who made her audience more hand conscious by her amus ing but serious discussion of ges tures that betray or charm, the psychology of expressive gesture which she has gained in modeling the hands of the great and the humble. In the coming weeks of the school term, Victor Perard. the well - known anatomist and author of Hands and Their Con struction, is to continue the sub ject and will illustrate with chalk drawings the structure of hands. tr _ Pierce-ColHns Vows Announced CLINTON, April 9. — Mr. and Mrs. C.
