Where Are the Frocks of Yesteryear

It's tremendous pity about Mr.. Marriott Wat
son. He feels terribly over the wretched taste Of
the hour From his mature, novest's point OF
view (his years are fifty, the whole mess has
gone bad. Some strange futurist music by An up
start named Sch0nberg came to London, and what
did the critics do? They praised it, actually said
kind things about it-or at any rate did not damn
it utterly as they should have done
Then the clothes Awful, awful Every ar
tistic rule is contravened by the present feminine
fashions. Legs are impeded and defects empha-
sized. Why, oh why, signs Mr.. Marriott Watson
cannot we have again the lovely, lovely modes of
1924, when frocks were at their apogee.
We turned curously backward in our memory at
mention Of the early '9Os. Yes, we could see them
dimy. And unless we are much mistaken. il was
the hour fate chose for sleeves to disguise them
selves as hams Big and stiff they jutted forth
from the shoulders; slim and tied tight with
string was the waist, and out fared the skirts in
vast isosceles triangle. Geometrically considered
modes were never so wonderful
Personally, we should have difficulty in shedding
tears over that particular era And a number If
English defenders Of the present feel exactly with
us. One, wearer Of the much dcrded hobble
skirt speaks boldly in its defence answering Mr.
Grotesque? Yes, when worn by the short stou.
ladies. But no fashion can he made to become evcry
shape and figure; and for most she takes the
present cnging, infowing skirt to be the most
beautiful, comfortable and convenient ever devised
No woman, she declares, who has enjoyed the light
ness, case and freedom of the narrow skirt will
ever return 10 the wide skirt with voluminous folds
heavy and draggy
On the beauty question all the critics disagree
with Mr.. Watson. The natural, up and down ont
line, with unconstrlcted waist is hailed as n mar
vcllous success. The cid pyramid OF the oOs
making woman largest at the bottom where she
Is really smallest is damned on all hands.

calendar, Mr. Marriott Watson was lust in his

taste for pulled sleeves and wasp waists was 60
