Hubert had hastily formed a plan
regarding what he would do as to the

N THE early spring, when the
cold winds are still sweeping
over the rice fields in Japan,
there is an aspect of lifeless-
ness and desolation about them.
To the European eyes accus-
toned to dry-cultivated soil, or

SO much mud and water in the

murmur, Large hats, if you

Many years ago great painter

of, that every woman is beauty, if
you give her shadows enough. Lit

1t is a mere personal opinion; |
give it for what it is worth. :" M.
Bakst is diffident.
"But I feel that the English type
demands for the completeness of
the effect of walking costume,

of the small brimmed hats, and
more or less close-ftting caps, of

Monsieur Bakst says: ''The char

costume designing, the silhouette

said NJ. Leon Bakst.
IF only women would realize
how unfortunate it is. The women
of society are too cosmopolitan in
the matter of dress, and this is a
purely modern error"
Monsieur Bakst has not been in
America, so he contrasted French
fashions which are designed upon
French types of figures with what
he sees i'll England. But inasmuch
as American women are much more
nearly like English women in figure
than they are like French women,
much Of what he says about what
English women look best in applies
to American women no less.
Each nationality has its type, {"
says Monsieur Bakst, and the art
Of the costumer must be to devise
creations in keeping with that type.
Furthermore, we must remember
climate. Does one expect the out
door fashion for Paris or for the
south of France to suit London?"
