is the way he expresses it:
'Mesdames, dress your egoes, not

inspired, dazzled with himself At
one stroke the mad medley of modes
past and present is resolved into final
solution. The souls of women are to
be considered and costumed, not their
forms If they have no souls. It will
be imperative to develop them as
rapidly as possible and remain in Sc
clusion until they do. This phase may
be dismissed, however, and the truly
interesting possibilities taken UP.
Instead OF every variety of woman,
from the militant TO the languid, ap-
pearing in soubrette skirts and piquant
caps, a sense of fitness will be OBJ
served Vivid types may wear extreme
things, but sad, faded little ladies may
abandon the attempt to be dashing.
