WOMEN WHO TIRE OF DRESS.
Social Leaders and Actresses Who
Lose Interest in the Subject.

From he New York Sun.
Surprising as 1t may SEEM" said a wo-
man who has just returned from Newport,
the women who are best dressed are not
the women who are most conspicuous in So
cety. One finds better dressing in places
that are not so very smart socially than at
Newport, and the reason is not difficult to
discover. Women at Newport are too much
occupied with other things to devote to the
question of dress the amount Of time nee
essary to excel In it.
II might as well say right here that the
real leaders of society who are constantly
IN the eyes of the public are not by any
means the best-dressed women. Others with
not 50 much money to spend, but with more
time to devote to dress, may be much more
in accord with the standards of dressing in
the best sense.
"One need only to go to the races to real
lie that. The best-dressed women there
viii not be the richest the most con-
spicuous socially.
Women whose time Is taken UP by Sc
ciety to the exclusion of nearly everything
else come to acquire a contempt for clothes
The gowns must be changed so many times
day that women acquire contempt fer
them.
For the same reason the women of the
stage are rarely well dressed. Clothes are
to them mere tools of trade.
Sarah Bernhard wears any old thing
go long as 1t is loose save when it is nee
essary for her to dress up. Eleanora Duse
is about as Indifferent and carries her con-
tempt for dress even to the stage. When
she was here the first time she arrived
with such a lot Of rags that her mana gers
had more gowns made for her here.
Maude Adams, who dresses well enough
on the stage when modern dress is required
Is most Indifferent to her appearance ordi-
narily In private life. Annie Russell Is al
most the best dressed of any of the serious
actresses off the stage.
Anna Held In life looks almost the same
so far as the conspicuousness Of her dress
goes and Lillian Russell, who dresses with
great care of the stage, Is rarely strikingly
arrayed. She affects quiet shades in her
clothes and relies for contrasts on her hair
and complexion. But. as a rule. the women
OF the stage come to look upon dress as
nothing more than a part Of their trade
So 1t Is with the women of society who
go In Tor 1t at all extensively They have
to change their gowns so MANY times TO
wear so many different kinds OF gowns in
day and to make SO many changes for
evening. that they lose all interest in dress
lor Its own sake. And when that happens
they are not going to be the best-dressed
women.
