sometimes think II tho public knew the
struggles the librettist goes through they
would not say, oh, yes, it is bright in
spots, but not quite spotted enough or
words to that effect.
These struggles might be described
something like this:
I'm the all star cast every one has a spe-
cialty and the lbrettist is supposed to know
them all and to make provision for them,
ever though when he wrote the work it
was not with any special lot OF people in
mind. II it should happen 70 be a costume

"On the mig BIT Of the dress rehearsal

but to the librettist who has counted on
their buttoning on the side or in the front

change takes seven minutes instead Of -four.
The stage manager says:
You must give us seven minutes OF

Your dialogue Of four minutes has been
bright and snabpy; that of seven is i'm
possible. The audience writhes around,
wondering what it is all about. You couldn't
tell them, because you dom know. Neither
does the stage manager. But the costumes
are all right.
when you see two people on the stage
trying their best to be funny for seven or
eight minutes at a stretch you will know
that the dresses button up the back.

"Style consists largely in walking well.
The woman who carries her arms badly
will never have style. The woman who
lets her chin sink into her throat will never
ave style.
style lies, also, in doing the air becom-
ingly and in king il frame the face,
and the woman who does not do this will
always be lacking in style. But these
are only a few points that come under
the heading Of style.
The woman OF 1907 will be very well
dressed, but she will not dress in black.
Her complexion is too glowing.
-She will choose white or the colors that
come pretty close to w~hite-pale violet,
light blue, delicate green and the softest
of rose. She will bring out her W high

The woman OF 1907 will have small feet.
Perhaps she will manage this by low vamps
and high heels, but her feet will certainly
look small.
And she will have plump, little white
hands which she will keep White by daily
bl~eachings. She will rave other good
points, but these are enough for a be-
ginning.
