So much the more must this indi-
viduality be asserted when the dress
Is copied from fashion plates in which
the design Of woman's anatomy Is so
conventional, and SO to say, untrue.
There she stands. tall and slender,
with a small head, a swans neck. q
waist no bigger than her throat, d.
minutive hands and feet, every dress
and style becoming this creature of
Imagination.
It must not be forgotten that fash
ion, rightly understood. is not friv-
olous and futile thing. as claimed by
its detractors, but one of the phases
Of art, phase inspiring numerous
marvels which at all times make a At
frame for beauty-that "joy forever"
as asserted by the English poet.
Tho fashions of the present period
will likewise be immortalized and
transmitted to posterity by the cele-
brated painters of to-day, the Flam-
engs, the Makovskis and many a poet
or lover of the beautiful will speculate
as to the history Of some fair TWEEN
tieth century belle in flowing draper
les. with the heightened and attenu-
ated waist, the clinging yet vague
skirt, molding her figure to perfection
over the hips and then fiaring boldly
around her knees; skirt made deliber-
ately longer than herself, falling
around her, making her taller, form
ing pedestal to her beauty, adding q
languid slowness and peculiar grace
to her walk as she gently glides,
scarcely lifting the fluffy hem without
getting embarrassed in its folds.
More than one will stop before a
pair Of dreamy eyes, gazing at him
from under dark velvet toque. all

There Is little doubt as to the fact
that some taste and probably a good

sided at the toilet Of the golden-haired,

ton from the cold was the prime mo-
tive Of this covering. yet 1t is permits
sable to believe that some coquetry Of
a primitive kind formed part Of the
makeup Of these bellies.
The resurrection of women's attire

kind, the evolution of woman's dress
can be traced all through the frescoes
Of Babylonian palaces. the runic in
scriptions, the pyramids of Egypt. the
eternally beautiful temples Of Rome
and Greece. the exquisite statues Of
Tanagra, the medieval tombs in Gothic
cathedrals. The gorgeous apparel Of
the Renaissance period may be fol-
lowed through the works of art of the
great masters, the paintings Of Leon
ardo da Vinci, Titan, Velasquez, Rem
brandt, Van Dyck and Rubens; the
sumptuous dress Of the great century,
that of the "Roi Soleil," King
Louis XIV, has been immortal
lied by Largilliere, Regnaud and
Nottler; the graceful attire Of
the eighteenth century with its
court shepherdesses In coquettish cos
tune has been painted by Vatican.
Lancret and Pater; 1t was closely fol-
lowed by the nobleness, sumptuosity
and simplicity Of the empire style,
which Is represented In the works Of
Ingres, David and Gerard.
Il may thus be seen that from CEN
tury to century through art alone has
It been possible to follow the history
Of woman's dress. as characteristic Of
the various epochs. The masterpieces
Of the great artists have been, the only
documents through whose medium Il
has been possible to form an idea Of
the fashions of bygone days-and not
