necks Arms were not made to stick
out on either side like jug handles
OF course, as an artist I am at
war with fashion and its constant
changcs-which prevent woman
evolving n dress which expresses her
individuality-but especially with the
fashion Of Wearing corsets, which, to
my mind. destroy the outlines of the
figure and cramp the freedom Of
woman's movements. Never before
In my life has woman been so much
imprisoned and laced up as she Is
today--that is to say. of course. all
except the willowy women, whose fig.
ures accord with present fashion

neck adopted by mon and women I
attribute to the wearing. especially
when young. Of high stiff collars The
