Show Not Your Heart On Your Sleeve, Bu tYour "Sign," is Idea of Sidney Cariyle, Palater of Silk j ' 1 : - . BI OJ1 it i:m s NEW YOUK. Your own individual J design, symbolical like u crest, hand-l hand-l painted on the sleeve of your gown: I Your favorite flower may be con- ventlonalized the. Jog you have loved , and lost Idealized the tree Under j Which you spent your most memorable memor-able hour patterned otilo the fabric of vour clothes, as It is patterned into i the fabric of your life! , This is the ideal and work of Sidney Sid-ney Cariyle, a lad In Ms earliest twenties, who has never gone to a W hoc. 1 for color or design. Yet his small Greenwlc.h Village studio has in a few short months, become the mocra of the ultra-faghionables of Xew York. MAKIM. MOM OF SHjK He began bv painting designs for the coverlnKs of the smartest hut boxes. Then he took up ihe design -Ins of lamy shades. Now lie is palnt-lnt' palnt-lnt' panels In the sjnartest frocks for one of the most swagger of modistes. He c en paints lace! Cariyle is very Blmple and quite i boyiflh In his excitement about his new art. He calls It "Making iho most of silk. ' "I should think." ho savs. "that I the painting of silk would become! one of the major occupations of young ladles 1 cannot seo exactly how It: has bean SO neglected r.n art In Medieval days It was considered among the things thai must bo done " " Mir Kl.Yl.i: VXD SO ATE OF HIS SYMBOLIZED DESIGNS now no one seems to realize ho much handsomer it is than printed ; designs or batik." He was reminded thSLpalntlhga on I silk do not wash. ' No. but they clean." he said. Like nil true artiste, Cariyle goes to nature for suggestions and what he finds there ho conventionalizes to his taste. A flower, a heron's wing, a little green frog, a scarlet lizard, a creeper, a tall tree and among these things he fots thin, pacing ladles, and beside these ladles sometimes walks a lean dog. PAINTS Ill "I paint the. ideas or memories of people also," says Cariyle. "Very often the bird's wing or the loan dog has a definite meaning for the person per-son for Whom tho design is made." He also repeats designs for my lady's boudoir the same motif car-tied car-tied through a woman's most Intimate Inti-mate belongings; stamping as hers the cushions of her chaise longue. the lamp upon her desk, as well as her ' clothes. Some people think that painting on ; silk is a very difficult process. It Is j not, however.
