FEATURES. 27 Dress Designers “I am interested in only one period and that is the present one—the one in which we are living."” say, i8 the motto of the celebrated French dressmaker, Lucien Lelong. Madeleine Vionet is another one of great French <makers who emphasizes the importance of a thor- oughly modern interpretation of her art. She is quoted as saying: “The couturiere should be a geometrician, This, they THE MODERN TO REDUCE ART TENDENCY SVERYTHING TO AND ANGLES THIS FROCK OF CREPE SATIN IN THREE SHADES OF GREEN. for the human body makes geometri- | cal figures to which the materials should correspond.” And so, says an admirer of her work, “underlying the mystery of her famous creations are the soundest mathematical principles, wherein triangles, squares, circles and every geometrical figure are con- ajdered in the scientific adaptation of the gown to the human form. | Most of us can see the importance of Lelong’s motto. Any effort to| bring back any style of the past, save after the most decided adaptation to present tastes and demands, is bound *o meet with faflure. Not even the most influential of French dress- makers can do that, and the recent history of French fashions provides numerous examples of such attempt- ed revivals brought to naught. Vionet's theory of geometrical fig- ures as applied to dress is not so asy to comprehend. That may be hecause we are not thoroughly mod- wrn. If we grasped the principles of the futurists in other arts we might ble to see quite clearly the im- nce of Vionet’s dictum. At any ate, we must admit that it is a thor- oughly modern and up-to-date way of Lwoking nt the matter and we must o admit t working on | prineiple, Vionet has produced | need BY MARY MARSHAI as Geometricians ed back the pages of history to find | Inspiration, never daring to venture a fashion device that has not his. torieal authority. she evolves her own fashlons through the direct applica- tion of geometrical design to the hu- man form.

He dtdn’t dare move for u long time. he discovered one of those two- egzed creatures called men sitting on « seat and doing something queer | each hand.

It's perfectly true that the boys like honey—they eat up any amount of flattery handed to them quietly. But, they shy away in alarm when Flora opens fire on them. She's so crude and direct in her methods. She leaves nothing to the imagina tion—and the boys who blush when she throws bouquets to them usually do so because they're embarrassed rather than because they're pleased and proud. She says to Clark: “Oh. you are the most marvelous dancer in the world. I don’t see how you ever do it. I've simply praved that you'd dance with me this evening. Do cut In again. won't you?" This 1s a much too open and abovs board sort of wooing for Clark. He's 1ll at ease under the rapid fire of her compliments.
