Miss Kathleen Howard, of Buffalo,
n. Y, formerly contralto Of the Roy
al opera at Covent Garden, London,
and the Royal Opera at Darmstadt,
has just returned to this country
wearing a Chinese costume, which
she says she will continue to wear on
her concert tour in this country every
where except on the platform while
singing.
Miss Howard is wearing her novel
dress on the streets of New York and
has attracted considerable attention
on Fifth avenue.
In defense of her costume Miss
Howard says;
"Chinese clothes are beautiful as
well as practical Instead of changing
from year to year, following the silly
vagaries Of fashion, the Chinese stick
to beautifully thought out lines and
glorious combinations of colors. We
American women put in our time de.
signing new fashions, sleeves longer
or shorter, larger or smaller skirts
fuller or scantier while the Chinese
devote their time to exquisite hand
embroideries, on designs for silk fab
rics, woven in tapestries or broeades
Think of the freedom of the wide
soft trousers-nothing could be more
modest. The trousers are not only
soft to the touch but they are prac-
tical for they wear like iron.
The slippers are without heels
Some Of the new ones are made OF
cloth of silver woven with blue
thread. The feet feel delightfully."-
