and just what I could never attempt in
the way of dress am Wildly, extrava-
gantly vain about my gowns. but l have
always found it to pay in the end. be-
cause I never have a thing on hand that
am not passionately fond Of and there
fore wear my clothes until they are al
most ready to fall off.
Il have found out a very important de-
tail in my study of dress one that will
make a gown count in every sense Of the
word. Always aim at the picturesque,
but leave the bizarre out of the question.
There are some few women in the world
who can stand the bizarre in their out
fits, some few who can actually afford
to be eccentric and not suffer in conse-
quence But the great majority Of
women look better in the softer, more
undecided fashions. and unless a woman
can be assured by someone whose taste
can be relied upon that her style is such
that she can wander off the beaten path
to any marked extent It would be better
for her not to try anything too different"

'Milestones'' will be seen at the Bran
deis for three days, beginning tonight,
with special matiness tomorrow. Labor
day. "Mlestones' is by Arnold Bennett,
the author of "Old Wives Tales" CLAY
hanger" "Hilda Lessways' and other
widely read novels and essays, and Ed
ward Knoblauch, the distinguished Amer
lean dramatist who gave 'Kismet" to the
stage. The production on tour will be
the same in every detail as in New York
and London, where the remarkable play
reached its 6O0th performances at the Roy
atty theater "Milestones" is a play of
exceptional interest. The three scenes
all take place in one room, the first in
1850, the second in 1885 and the third In
1912, and as the play progresses one wilt
nesses the marked changes i'm dress, fur
niture, decorations, as we'll as sentiments
and manners. Several of the characters,
members Of the Rhead and sibley fami-
lies, are carried along by the same play
ers through youth, maturity and finally
old age. In each act, however. is the
spirit of youth, with its young people, its
love making and its progressive ideas
Such a play as "Mfestones" does not
come along very often and 1t can be ac-
counted as one of the genuinely worth
while dramatic treats OF the season.
