SAILOR AND SOLDIER ARTISTS
PAINTING FOR THEIR PATRON. Princess Mary is the patron of the Sailors' aiid Soldiers' Mutual Aid Society. She takes the keenest interest in their Sheffield Settlement, where a little colony of disabled men, hand-painting fabrics with the designs of artists of foremost rank, have become entirely self-support-ing. Tho fabrics so decorated include articles of household use and adornment as well as for personal wear. The Princess recently bought two delightful garments made at this settlement. One of them is a lovely shawl of shell-pink georgette, painted with an all-over pattern of roses in soft opal shades. The other is a fascinating little house coat of black charmeuse edged with a delicate hand-painted floral design. On its shell-pink lining of crepe de chine are painted tiny figures of Pan sitting in a rose-bush.
