Why all this nonsensical questioning of
the harem skirt?
Is it yet ten years since our streets we're
filled with women mounted on bicycles, in
boomers that did not reach below the
knee?
And was there one-tenth so much stir
over their adoption?
Is the woman at the seashore who wears

Her brother is . clever and able pianist and her sis ter is a sculptor with remarkable talent During oh ldhood the Count ess dc Swirsky showed a decided inclination towards the goddess Tep sichore but On account of the high social position of the family it was discouraged. Her family had decid ed objections ;o the child becoming a professional dancer.
 As tme wont on the. talents ol the young countess developed in an
 other direction. she entered th' Paris conservatory of music, stud jed the piano and in graduating wor the conservatory gold medal. FfoIr Paris she went to Munich and wor the first International prize in com petition with three hundred perform CTS of different nationalit es and th'
