Du AIauricr liked The FASHIONS.

It was Inevitable, as the principle tx
ponent of topical art by pictorial satire,
that Du, Maurier should hold pretty
strong opinions about women's dress
Rnd fashions generally. and il is n fuct
that he was by ~ means adecrier OF tho
productions of the modern modiste. On
the contrary, he admitted a very warm
admiration for his feminine cOntempo-
raries-small waists, pointed shoes, big
: ihatsiand all-and felt constant pleas
ure I'M dolineating them. And as for the
children Of this fortunate country, no
would say he could think Of no painted
or seulptured children Of the past who
were more oharmmg--at least. 10 him.
And this, from an artist who never for
got that he was French by birth, was
praise indeed. -Lady's Pictorial.
