The skirt is very wide and the gold fabric is stiff enough to give it a bold flare. Although quite short at the front, it dips decidedly at each side and is also a trifle longer in back Around this irregular hemline gold picot-stitching is used as a finish. Dainty wreaths of pink rosebuds are placed at each side of the bodice and from the mcarcades of blue moire rib- bon carelessly loop their way down the length of the skirt, with the ends extending several inches beyond its edge.

The thought of that inert mass of flesh forever shut off from the joys of owth and motion sends a chill through our blood. “Better death than this!” we cry, and all men agree. But paralysis of the mind and soul calls forth no such response. Do we shudder when we see an inert mass of spirit forever shut off from the joys of growth and motion, squatting stonily in the path of progress? We do not! We call it “poise” or “well grounded judgment” or “safe con- servatism.’ Everywhers we meet them—those minds which no longer adapt them- selves to life, no longer move at the quickening spur of imagination or sympathy, which scorn to conform to the changing times and pride them- selves upon their insensibility to the altered viewpoints and needs of hu- manity. “We are the rocks upon which the state is founded!" they gloat. “Rocks’ indeed_they are—but who would be a rock!

Consult your figure and your face as woll as your taste in art and books before deciding on the fancy costume you select for the costume dance to which you have been invited. You may have a poetic leaning .toward Plerretto costumery, but your figure may be of Amazonian proportions. You may be enamored of classic drapery with arms so thin that such a costume would be painful to behold. You may incline to something Span- ish.. A very large number of women do at present. But remember that the Spanish woman is slender. Don't imagine for a minute that she is buxom or_opulent of build. On the contrary, Spanish women are glender, their slenderness amounting' some: times to actual skinniness. Their faces are long, usually, or at least mnot' round. To be sure, the high comb and the high arrangement of the mantilla over it seems to add length to the visage, but there is mnothing incongruous his, and the high headdress certainly goes better with d| the narrow or slender face than with a face of rubicund proportions. In general the rather stout woman can wear such hiatoric castumes as those of the Marie Antoinette period or the mid-Victorian hoop-skirt cos- tume if properly chosen to good ad- vantage. This is especially true if she is tall as well as plump.” Only the woman of petite proportions ought to attempt the picturesquenéss of the Plerrette costume. The small woman, too, will find herself in hopeless mases, if she attempts the details that usually go with a Turkish or other costume, while the sim- ux. havi near- T l»lqr lines of the Chinese or Japanese costume -appear to advantage om the woman of small proportions. 2 Gouraud’s Oriental Cream Your Head” ?
