fashion designers are undoubtedly
being bgged on to the Spanish mode
by the recent. production Of that much
heralded Spanish opera "Goyesca' at
the Metrol'olitah Ope1a House, lhcI-
dents, in the, life OF Goya aud his
paintings inspired the opera, the
opera inspired our present fashions
and so Mr.. Goya is really the respon-

of that worn by the lnfanta in Velas-

Is dubbed Vclasquez, and 4 Is wired out
over the hips in the same exaggerated
manner as the portrait. In fact. almost
al of the frocks with !lispsnic ten
denotes show this wiring over the hips
and the bodices are tight boned md
