New Spring Fabrics Not Exactly What They Seem New fabrics for spring togs are not what they seem. The demand for economy coupled with the Ingenuity of Parisian design. ers has produced cotton which looks like wool, silk which resembles fur or tweed and wool reminiscent of lace They are the most interesting stuffs Paris has produced since the war, and thelr colors are as gay as a school girl's paintbox.

MANY LITTLE WRAPS By CHERIE NICHOLAS = - - KY 7 of An endless procession of little sheer and colorful velvet jackets and wraps keeps’ moving across fashion's stage. Most of them are conspicuously brief as to length, usually ending at the waistline, but they are anything but that when it comes to thelr sleeves. The newer types, particularly, go short on length and long on sleeves. The models pictures are that sort. One of the leaders among these andat-the waistline jacket is the bellhop type, a clever version of which appears in the sketch, Its long flowing sleeves fin. ished about the wrist In triple circular ruffie effects adds a distinctive style feature, Made of white transparent and worn with a black satin evening gown, a Jacket of this type Interprets fashion at Its best. The youthful Jacket sketched at the top 1s one of wrap-around types, which latest style reports so extol. It ties in the back FACSIMILE SKETCH OF MAJOR ANDRE Revolutionary Relic Found in Connecticut. There was published recently an account of the purchase by the New York State Grand Lodge of Masons of the historic De Windt house at Tappan, N. Y., which Gen, George Washington used as his headguar- ters during the Revolution and where he regretfully signed the death warrant of Major John Andre, Brit. Ish officer, in 1780. And almost by a freak of coincidence there has just been discovered among the books and papers of a Connecticut man who lived on the north shore of Long Island, a facsimile of a sketch of Major Andre, made by himself the day before his execution and presented by him to the officer of the guard, Jabez Tomlinson, With the facsimile are notations that It was made 40 years ago from the original sketch, which wag given in 1832 to Yale University library and which Is still In the Yale arch- ives, According to the history of the sketch, Tomlinson, a Connecticut man, was on guard at Andre's execu- tion on October 2, 1780, when the upon their heads, which existed in Indla, He goes on gravely to inform us that drinking cups made from the horn eof a unicorn rendered safe ly innocuous any polson poured into them, a bellef which persisted into and past the Middle ages. The origin of these stories It is difficult to find. No remains of any such animal have ever been discov- ered, nor do writers claim to have actually seen a specimen of them. And yet the bellef In thelr existence Is so widespread In several parts of the world that it might be made to appear foolish to deny that any such creature ever existed. A glance at the heraldic presentation of a uni corn in the British royal coat-of- arms should serve to show the ab- surdity of attempting to identify the ancient unicorn with so ungainly a one-horned animal as the rhinoceros, as would some writers. Ancient “Cooking Pits” Unearthed in Ireland It is reported that nine “falachtda” (cooking pits) have recently been discovered In the following places around Kinsale, Ireland-—Ballinto- ber, Coolcorrin, Mellinfontstown, Ringrone, jallinvredig, Tigsaxon, Kippagh, Scilly Glen and Clashmore Townshend, In his “Statistical Sur vey of the County Cork™ mentions that In that part of Ireland heaps of burnt stones are found In officer, twenty-nine years old, paid with his life for having plotted with | Benedict Arnold to obtain West Point for the British forces. According to the notation accom. | panying the sketch, Andre showed remarkable gelf-possession and calm- ness and engaged in his favorite accomplishment of drawing while awaiting execution. With pen and ink he made a sketch of himself seated at a table, without the ald of a mirror, and presented the sketch to Tomlinson as a souvenir. Tomlinson folded the sketch, put it In his pocket and kept it for years. On August 8, 1832, it was presented to Yale. Reproduction of inal was made, according to notation, by F. C. Beach, a Connectl- cut man, and was obtained by per mission of Timothy Dwight, then president of Yale, on October 160, 1800, in the university library. Major Andre spent several before his capture In September, 1780, In the old Townsend house at Oyster Bay, L. I. The facsimile of the sketch was discovered In a house about ten miles from the Townsend home. New York Times, days Widespread Belief in Unicorn Through Ages From very remote antiquity down to the present time, China and Japan have preserved a belief in a powerful one-horned wild animal, In the va ried form of a horse, an ass or an ox. The encyclopedias tell us that Ctesias, a learned Greek physician and writer, who died about 350 B. C., in one of his treatises speaks of white or red wild asses of beautiful shape, with single, long white horns great numbers, which are said have the In. in times for their Keating In hig “History of Ireland” refers to the mode of cooking.
