1t need not be supposed that even

thing new under the sun. a learned
Egyptologist discloses that the sheath
gown was popular among the ladies of
the Nile 10 centuries before the Chris

linen. adorned with elaborate designs
The professor thinks that the slit III
the side was intended to display the
wearer's precious anklets. These an
cient ladies also dressed their hair
deliberately with pufs and padding
They painted their faces and lips, as
shown by rouge and pomade jars. All
of this is reassuring to man who may
have thought that some OF the modern
developments of the dressmakcr were
without precedent in their eccen'
