= "No, that is only a rough sketch--a
draughtsman's first plan of her. You will
agree with me that the average American
girl of today is a much more compre-
bending creature. a much more finely de-
veloped specimen OF her race than her an
cestress OF generations gone by? Well"
she went on in answer TO the interviewer's
asserting nod, the American super-girl
will infinitely surpass our best types of
today. What will seem her Inconsistency
win really be her greatest wisdom; for II
will prove her multiplied interests in life;
her flexbllity OF viewpoint and above all
her open mindedness. All these new quail
ties she win get at the cost. / believe. of
not one title OF genuine femininity-on the
contrary, she will gain in femininlty be-
cause she will gain in understanding"
When you talk with Marie Doro You
listen. of course. but you watch, too. For
most Of the ideas seem to be conveyed
through her hands, arms and eyes As
she talks she rounds out every idea, or
rather. illustrates it with a gesture that
has the graphic quality OF a pen and ink
sketch. Some day Miss Doro will prove
herself an extraordinary pantomimlst
Every idea is so aptly punetuated by ges-
tures-many OF them OF almost uncanny
flexibility-that her well turned arms seem
almost without bones, so capable are they
Of taking any position. She has the long,
ductile fingers OF a pianist always in prac-
tce. And by the swift. appropriate play
OF these, as well as her eyes and her hands,
her conversation, however lengthy, never
runs together. but is neatly subdivided
into paragraphs and little chapters. She
takes breath between these divisions, en-
folding the listener In a pair OF eyes that
swiftly guess whether the spoken ideas
have convinced and never miss their guess
II the thought is not seen TO be driven
straight home the little actress again
quickly attacks the subject and the lis
tener until there is no getting away from
her argument.
( This American super-girl Is too subtle

In person among Us to make herself felt

That's a good phrase. MISS Doro. Does
that epitomize your idea of the Amer
lean super-girlT'
mo. it doesn't. but thank YOU just the
same" was the answer. TT isN0nlsr~ an
approach to what I mean. Because, you
see, the super-girl in her fullest develop
ment is only approaching our American
life. She is blazing out a path for herself
but she is not yet quite acclaimed by her
sisters-any more than was Nietsohe's
super-Inan grasped by the world until
Bernard shaw appropriated the idea,
breathed the breath OF life into a super
man instead Of talking about super-men,
put the character on the stage, and at once
we all loved him."
Then you think that we must look to
the stage for the revelation Of the super
grip
mot for the revelation. but for the rep
resentation OF her. Social conditions will
produce her and the stage will reproduce
her. You just wait a bit. Some play
wright will build upon Mr. Gillettes 'Elec-

Failing to find other employment the
commercial traveller half unwillingly Joined
that evening a company OF twenty or
twenty-one people who assembled in the
"parlors" OF the hotel. Afterwards he de-
gcribed the evening as follows:

shor. Trains for Dinner Gowns.

While skirts continue to be very
short in almost all day dresses, the
couturieres have had to lend ear to
the cry Of the women who absolutely
refuse to give up trains in their even
ing gowns. I have seen several very
smart dinner dresses lately cut with
short, slightly pointed trains, and l
have no doubt that there will be 9TH
ers before the winter is over. One
that was. worn recently was of ochre-
colored satin, but the rather vivid yell
low was very much subdued by an
overdress of dark aluminium-gray net.
The satin underskirt had the short
train spoke of, but the tunic, of
course, was short. 1t was gathered In
a little at the top and its waist line
was raised somewhat above its nat
ural position. The bottom of the tunic
dropped into points at the sides and
was hemmed with a deep band of the
yellow satin. which drew It in a trif1e
without giving 1t any appearance Of
awkwardness or constraint-The De-

The girl who is starting a dover

her table linen.
She may we'll choose either Dresden
or Irish linen or both. as both are said
to wear indefinitely. Where one buys
the napery in sets, these include
cloths of two yards wide by two and
a half and three yards long, and nap
kins of breakfast and dinner size.
II possible, buy these sets In their
natural color, and bleach them In the
sun. Chemicals used for whitening
are likely to destroy the texture OF the
linen. Luncheon sets come In both
Irish and Dresden woven napery in all
white.
The newest luncheon sets, however,
are made from Austrian linen, and
consist of a round cloth and IL nap
kins. Each piece carries a damask
thistle design in pale green, maize, blue
or rose on a white ground.
