Du Maurier Liked the Fashions.

It was inevitable, as the principle ex- ponent of topical art by pictorial satire, that Du Maurier should hold pretty strong opinions about women'a dress and fashions generally, and it is fact that he was by no means decrier of the productions of the modern modiste. On the contrary, he admitted very warm admiration for his feminine contempo- raries-slnall waists, pointed shoes, big hats and all-and felt constant pleas ure ill delineating them. And as for the children of this fortunate country, he would say he could think of no painted or sculptured children of the past whc were more charming-at least, to him. And this, from an artist who never for got that he was French by birth, was praise indeed. -Lady's Pictorial
