NINE. PAVL0WA AND
THE INCROYABLES

II has often been said that a style can
not be launched successfully by the
dressmakers unless some woman of fash
up and exploit it. All the mannequins
in the world might parade the racetracks
and the fashionable hotel dining rooms
dressed in the period of the Incroyables,
and yet the style would attract only pass
ing interest. But let one fashionable
woman or one actress appear in the
stripes the waistcoat, the distinctive coat,
the tight sleeves. the high collar of the
period. and the fashionable world and
its imitators Immediately become inter-
ested.
At the farewell performance of Anna
Pavlowa in America she gave picture
dance in which Incroyable costumes were
worn.
1t was a very interesting dance, and
made a deep impression on the women
of her audience. For in the dance the
mems striped coats, the beruff1ed skirts,
the waistcoats and the collars were all
commented on for their picturesque quail
tiles.
The women in the audience had heard
that Paris was Interested in the STYLES
of the Incroyable period But until they
could see them they had failed to realize
their possibilities.
So Anna Pavlowa did much to popular
iZe the clothes of the Incroyables. Per-
haps her influence Is not widespread
enough to have noticeable effect on the
majority of womanknd. BUT at least the
incident strengthens the Old belief that
a personal sponsor for a new style is es-
sential to its popularity.

right. How any change is considered q
.etrogression. not an Improvement. Yet
how an impudeIt hunlorist can make one
see things differently. as in the case of
the American who recently described the
tcerenonicus ride of the Danish king and
queen through the streets of London in
gold chariots drawn by gray horses. as
exactly like an American circus parade.
After the widespread repetition of this
comparison. which conveys itself to the
mind In d twinkiing because of its truth,
no American who has heard il can look
upon a royal procession without wonder
ing why gold chariots and lat gray horses
are reta ined.
The first of the bridal costume tradi-
tfons to 80 was the veil over the face.
Several years ago the snlartly turned out
bride began to go TO the altar with face
uncovered. The blushing bride with down.
cast eyes was always a myth, for usual
ly she was haggard with fatigue. and if
she had color it was likely to be bi:
from a box which relatives had persuaded
her to use so people would net say she
had regretted her choice of bridegroom.
Possibly the bride of another epoch
looked modest and shrinking, but the girl
of this epoch looks up and out and for
ward, as one who is unafraid and willing
to meet whatever the future brings.
Why. then, should she cover the face
with a long veil as though she was
question she asks.
She answers it herself by emitting the
veil. She wears a long one at the back
because it is essentially graceful. and
partly because it is tradition she likes.
1t is not annoying like the face VEIL
and need not be removed at the altar.
