Miss De Rigney doesn’t want to do t but being an/obedient young she probably will, Asked for the reason which prompted her refusal to be seen en decolletage, Miss De Rigney sald to-day: It may seem Inconsistent, since I am wearing tights In ‘Punch, Judy & Co.’ That, however, 1s a matter of business strictly. As I am called upon to dress | for a part requiring an evening gown, 1 shall probably wear one, but at home amt In private life I find that I can get along without the addition of deoollete frocks to my wardrobe. I suppose 1 may be permitted to Indulge in a fad as weil as another, and I do not approve of the feminine fashion of decollgtage. “Oh, yes, 1 go about na great deal, and it is not because 1 am not fond of s2- clety and din: that the matter ts apparently one to which I might become indifferent, My insistence in this re- gard has been embarrassing at times to some of my friends, but I have not swerved from my principle, which is, as T have ¢aid just now, a fad, perhaps, or one of the eccentricities of—shall we say genius?
