this Miss Cunningham adds the theo-
~ that because OF this the average

will try to copy the walk and the
tone Of an actress: older women will
copy her clothes; she allures them be-
cause she is seen across the magic

they want what she has, and what
she wears, and the result is that a

true, but many more TO criticize her
clothes, and, therefore, the costum-
ing of modern society play OF any
sort is an important feature of theat-
rical work, and one which reaps the
biggest reward, if imitation IS, as it
IS said, the sincerest fattery.
II may be added too, that many
Paris designers use the stage as
means to start new style whose nov
city Is at first too strong for the aver
age woman.

Miss Carroll Mcconas IS another
young actress who doesn't bother
about style" when it comes to her
hair. She is blessed with very fluffy
locks and she says thos should be-
as simply arranged as possible since
it will fluff out by itself. She is also
an advocate Of the youthful narrow
bandeaux Of ribbon or flowers, or the
tiny grecian crown of leaves, but
she says broad bands or sweeping
plumes in the hair arc not appropri-
ate except for the very tall woman.
Miss Charlotte Walker, who is
considered one of the beauties of the
modern stage, wears her hair rolled
high on top of her head in the mode
so fashionable in London now, but
as she herself says she has been
wearing it that way regardless of
fashion because it added to her
height and was becoming. And"

And requests about fashions aren't

dozens of pleas from young men
