Importance in the social world. Then all
the actresses go to show themselves to So

little does the conversation turn upon art
So, while the exhibit of the Academy OF
Design is similar, it is also to be different;
for here the pictures will be first and the
people second.
Vanishing Day Is the opening day. Then
admission is only By card. Each exhibitor
can bring few friends and there are few
special invitations. Tea is served. Pictures
are criticised and, Cf course, good gowns are
worn. The next day the academy is thrown
open to the public for an admission fee, but

Vanishing Day the models are all there
