FEATURES, ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT 'THE GENTLE ART OF ALLURE- MENT AS PRACTISED BY THE “MODERNS” They resort to color and simplicity to tempt the “prey” By SARAH VAN RENSSELAER THERB has been quite a bit of discussion in all eircles of what 2 “modern” is. The general impres- sion among morons seems to be that “modern” is a term applied to women who fly in the face of all laws and conventions indiscriminately. But "tis not so. Your true “moderns” are as ancient as Eve. Their name is legion through the centuries. Prob- ably Cleopatra was an outstanding one in her day. Today they are the women who are most truly “alive’ - their realm extends, far beyond the “home” though their hearts lie there, into art, literature, drama, polities, business or some other form of sel{-expreasion. And they practise the gentle art of allurement with infinite subtlety and a finer understanding than their much praised ancestors. Outward manifestations of this art today are the fashions. Women since time immemorial, have read- justed Nature’s laws in the animal kingdom. For in every other species it is the male who attracts the female. But not so human beings, for it is the female who plumes herself to tempt —though she’d never, never admit it. And no ome would object to the “‘modern’s’’ method—for it has beauty. Her eostumes are the per- sonification of simplieity —they’re designed by these who have made a study of lines—who know propor- tions. Patou, Drecoll, Jenny, Chanel, Vionnet and so on—masters of the art—every one Parisian! Underlying these simple costumes is a major secret of their chie—the “modern” underthings. They are deftly fashioned to eonform te the delicate contours of the figure —and they are.usually of “Italian”* silk which ig soft and clinging and easily washed, saving money and time which is greatly appreciated by the “modern” woman who has teo little of both to fulfill all her desires. And, by the by, I know of no one who understands these present-dsy needs in underthings quite so well as the American firm of Kayser. They have more models in their fall show- ing that reflect this spirit than you can imagine. And they are the only people who make this luxurious “Italian”* silk. The sheer beauty of lines is en- hanced by color schemes surpassingly lovely. Indefinite tones—{flower shades—colors of a hasy sunset— colors seen on a mountainsilie in fall when the foliage presents a tapestry effect. To what lengths do net these artists go to ind a new tone—to in- directly intrigue the unsuspecting “prey”’—and the new shades coler every phase of the mode, leaving not even an obscure accessory un- touched! Madame’s entire costume must be in complete harmony. Each {rock has its own shoes, hose, gloves, bag, bat and jewelry—otherwise it's taboo. In shoes, for instance, there are 90 many styles, 86 many new leathers, 80 many different, colors, that one is quite bewildered by the array; and to harmonise with the shoes, the new Hosiery is axquisite. It seems to have reached the heights of perfection. Of course, today (and I say today advisedly for the fashions seem to last but & day) color makes a hose or breaks it—as the saying goes. If the edging or heel of one’s shoe is an edd color, the hose must match. If the shoe is & solid color, the hose must mateh the costume—and se it goes forward imto atyle. It seems that there are hundreds of colars—but the truth is that beige shades predomi- nate in the mode~—though the noe- turne shades ever hold their own and all the preference of the many. And, again, even in hosiery, Kay- ser is foremost in fashion for they present every color and every tene of every color that is smart! Not only does Kayser excel in this fashion eolor hut they have even designed the “Slipper-Heel” * to carry out the slender theme that runs gamut through the mede. “Slipper-Feel”* is peinted in such a way that it givesa graceful and slender line to the ankle. Thea there is the “Marvel-Stripe™* which prevents garter runs—a mar- velous help to the “modern” woman who expects her accessories to be as near perfection as possible se that she may forget thems. They simply contribute to her paise. And then the gloves. Men Disu, I very nearly forgot to tell you of these necessitios that meam so much. Usually the smart woman matches her gloves with her hose and wears the ones for tailored costumes & size larger than Her hand and the euffed and embroidered ones fitting suugly. This same Kayser makes gioves that are & joy to the eye and thet give real service. “Chameisette™® is the name Kayser gives the fabrie they have ingeniously devised to look Hiee kid, wear like kid-—and it oosts ever 5o much less than ldd. To all “moderns” whe wish to devote a negligible time to acess- sories, I sincerely advise you to ask {or Kayser underwear, hosisry and gloves for complete satisfaction. *Trade Masks Reg. ©J.K.4Cs., 1996 THE NEW FALL A Distinguishing Mark of Dependability and Smartness “Marvelfit”* Dependability: Becanse of the feature which sssures better fir and longer wesr.
