ions are due in no small degree to
the revolutionary art Of Aubrey
Beardsley and other artists who
were Influenced by Japanese ideals.
Until a few days ago no artist
had the genius and courage to let
his emotions riot in truthful ex-
preston on his canvas, and thus
have suddenly emerged from a
lengthy obsession of gray ana
muddy half-tones into a radiance
of chromatic tones. Small wonder
II some of US were dazzled TO
blindness by the unfamiliar spec
tacle of gorgeous hues IN our
streets-honest rainbow hues, a
joy to behold. and a fine sttmulant
TO our jaded senses.
1T is the designs of Bakst and the
wonders of the Russian ballet which
have provided the most startling
innovations in fashion which have
been seen for a century. The 1uil
skirts of our grandmothers shranK
by slow degrees into the attenu-
ated garments of the SOS, and con-
ventions were not outraged even
during the evolution of the hobble
skirt and its immediate successors
but Ii has been left to Bakst, the
iconoclast. to show women the poSsl-
bilities which lie in freedom OF line
and color lor her lrOcks.
Woman has been freed from hide
bound conventions, and has been Civ
en- individuality and independence OF
vision.
But it is not alone the form Of the
dress that gives the effect OF Orien-
talism. the burnous. the trouser
skirt-there is the accessory and the
material itself that go far to fur
therine the effect. The sash Is just
such a means to the end in view,
the plain and the geisha SASH II
is being used with the tunic and
the basque. and Is worn both high
and low. That is, IL is sometimes
brought only to the middle of the
back. and sometimes worn touching
the shoulders. true geisha fashion.
This. OF course. is one of the
little matters that we get from the
Japanese: China contributes her
mite in the soft and brilliantly col
ored silks that are being used for
clothes. And they are not all straight
Colors either. but rare mixtures OF
exotic yellows. green's, blues. roses,
and such. They arc bright without
being lurid. which is a difference
that matters a lot. So il behooves
madame to be extremely wary about
the texture and the color of her
Eastern glamouring."

Then Tottie began to rake pull

she stopped and wiped her face with
her paw. and pushed back her hat
My goodness gracious, but this is
hard work" She glanced over at
Tessie. but that kitty girl seemed
very we'll satisfied. She held the
watering pot in both hands and
watched that every particle OF
ground was covered. She really
seemed to enjoy it just rs much as

Tottie wGtered the garden but 4

stopped and put her arms about the
frowning kitty girl. Tottie pouted
with her paw in her mouth. and

Indians and sachem chiefs have always
done this. Instinctively they regard
chairs as pests.
Chairs and Laziness.
The human spine. and the sacrum
and coccyx at its lower end. were never
created to sit upon chairs or lean
against wooden backs
Indeed. the most comfortable rockers,
Morris chairs, hammock backs and deck
chairs poster the dignity and equilibra-
ton from mans back.
The shape Of a sound back-of which
there are none among civilized persons
who sit upon chairs-is like an inverted
question mark or a capital recersed

Modern faddists and school superin-
tendents think they have solved this
problem. Chairs with movable, Pull
man-like backs are supplied to school
children. Yet. even IL each child was
measured and fitted with an individual
chair as his mother Is fitted with a
modish dress, he would be no more
comfortable.
Chairs Cause Curvature.
Man was mace for reclining. running,
moving and sleeping: never for sitting

pursue plano Instructions, schooling and

spine and coccyx are tortured worse
than the spirits Dante met in the nine
