SOME STYLE MOTIFS ORIGINATE IN CHINA While Paris may be the fashion center of the western world, and for the Far East too, today, since so much occidentalizing has occurred in the Orient, nevertheless some of the main ‘ underlying style motifs for many centuries past actually originâ€" ated in China, according to Dr. Berâ€" thold Laufer, curator of anthropolâ€" ogy at Field Museum of Natural Hisâ€" tory. The influence of some of these old Chinese fashions still pervades the. creations of modern couturiers of Europe and America. For example, the lowâ€"necked dress. Where They Balk Recent press reports from China indicated that while women there were adopting nearly all the western modes in clothing, hairdressing and other means of adornment, that the one thing they blaked at was the low neck. Dr. Laufer says that actually the Chinese probably originated the low neck, cut much as it is in the gowns of today, about 1,300 years ago. . He points, for evidence, to cerâ€" tain figures of fashionable Chinese women dating back to the seventh and eighth centuries, which are now on exhibition at Field Museum. Three figures, excavated from anâ€" cient graves of that period, represent a princess and her two ladiesâ€"inâ€"waitâ€" ing. The princess wears a dress with the long Vâ€"neck, which even has short sleeves. These statuettes, half lifeâ€" sgize, are regarded as among the finest burial clay figures ever brought from China, and were obtained by an exâ€" pedition led by Dr. Laufer. How Made . The back part of the collars on the dresses of these models is in the stiff upstanding style known as the Medâ€" ici collar of the sixteenth century in Europe, and the idea in Europe was probably an importation from China, Dr. Laufer avers. The figures are exquisitely modeled and painted, the painted designs repâ€" resenting embroidery. _ They illuâ€" strate many other interesting details of ancient Chinese fashions. A charâ€" ming touch is the lotus shaped shoes. These were made in the shape of that flower, Dr. Laufer says, to symbolize a Chinese poetical idea that wherever a beautiful woman stepped lotus blosâ€" soms. would instantly spring forth in full bloom.

We many times find that, though some members of the family do not care very much for plain spinach, we are able to tempt their appetites for it by trimming it up and combining it with different foods and seasonings. The following recipe is for Spinach Croquettes, combined with ham and rice and they are baked instead of frying in deep fat. This will be found a very easy dish to prepare, placing them in icebox until ready to bake. Tel. 354 120 N. Green Bay Rd. Hemstitching â€" Covered Buttons â€" Quick Service 153 N. Second St. Tel. H.
