dressed the pleasure in dainty, deli
cate linen, the joy In deep sables, or
rich seal, the sensation of being right
all through should be dear to the
heart of every actress" says Miss
Coghlan, 'for the actress who relies
upon the tones of her voice, and her
art, to carry her to the good graces of
her audience without pleasing the eye
will soon find herself supplanted by
the actress who is daintily shod, bien
