The costumes of all the dancers,
and not only the costumes but the
scenic designs whose backgrounds
blend the costumes into gorgeous har-
mony are the work of Bakst. There
is the somber magnificence OF his set
ting for "Scheherazade," the exquisite
beauty of the hillside setting for
'L'Apres- Midid'un Faune," the bar
barrie splendor of the scene in which
Thamar awaits her prey. But it is the
costumes which will chiefly interest
women who go TO the theatre for new
inspirations in rament. For exam
pie, the costume of the eunuch in
'Scheherazade" has had an immedi-
ate influence on Partisan evening
gowns of the winter. In this costume
| there Is a wide sash or girdle of soft
silk which Is wound around the figure
above and below the waistline, eX-
tending to the armpits at the top.
This deep girdle, forming a sort of
apology for a bodice, and held up by
shoulderstraps of pearls or crystal
beads is to be seen again and again in
winter dance frocks-and II was Dor
rowed by its originator from the
Bakst costume of the head eunuch.
Since this costume is typical of the
Bakst brilliance and daring of color
1t Is worthy of detailed description.
The baggy trousers and broad girdle
are bright orange, the long Jacket
Vermilllon red; the tall cap vermil-
lion also. The vermilion coat is en-
broidered with zigzags of gold braid
the trousers have pendant white
glass baubles. A huge ornament OF
gold and blue stones clasps the right
arm and the girdle is encrusted with
blue stones set in rims of vermillion

Costume.
Undoubtedly the much be-slashed
costume Of the Sultan's Favorite will
form inspiration for many a boudoir

And by the way 1t was Bakst who was
responsible for the slashed skirt
which so upset Mrs. Grundy three
years ago. The slashed skirt appeared
In New York Immediately after the
exhibition of Bakst paintings had set
the critics ali agog. But this Is
divergence-back to Scheherazade
and the Sultan's Favorite as inter
preted by Karsavina-and Bakst. The
much siashed neither garment of this
costume is of thin rose colored silk,
banded at ankle. knee and hip by
pearls. Around the thighs are wide
bands of pearls and emeralds, and
the stomacher. under the small jacket
of silk is of encrusted jewels-rubies,
emeralds and pearls.

~ 1t is Leon Bakst, the now
" ~ far-famed Russian artist
whose costumes and scenic designs
for the remarkable series of Magma
tive dramas in Serge de Diaghileffs
Ballet Russo are the talk of the hour.
Leon Bakst, whose coors, whose
lines, whose individuality, whose fear
lcssness, whose genius are being
lauded now on every hand is not I'M
known to America. About three years
ago the Bakst paintings, exhibited in
New York, aroused a pleasant stir
in artistic circles. But only a few
saw the marvel of them: only the
daring ventured to approve without
reservation in the face of protesting
convention and tradition.
Now the whole civilized world is
ringing with the name of Leon Bakst
--Bakst the inimitable; BaSst the in
credible; Bakst the intensely, arrest
ingly modern; Bakst who has taken
elemental emotions and depicted them
through the imagery and the poesy
OF his own genius. who has borrowed
the primal colors and used them, to-
gether with his Clean-cut lines, in
wonderful decorative designs that are
never crude but always subtle and
compelling.
