Japanese Baroness Shocked
at American WOman'S Dress

japanese woman does not depend on the
questionable aids Of artificiality for what
Charm she may claim In her flowing
gowns she may, unhampered by stays and
strings, display her Unborn grace. Hers is
a natural beauty. She need not look as

"Oh, these American girls that 1 have
seen! Their waist line seems TO be Jour
neying always. Now it is up and then
again Il is down.
Why must the mode always be chang

every season and no one would say that
the sweet blossom should have petals with
a new curve or pattern"
The baroness was in a pleasant good
humor despite her srraignment OF the
American woman's garb. She talked in a
low, soft voice. which rendered the strange
accents OF her language peculiarly pleas
