A LESSON IN GROWING.

mands OF fashion and to find some
simple, graceful and appreciation dress.
might well take a lesson from the ex-
Quisite draperies worn by Madame
Yvette Guilbert. In her series OF re-
citals just closed" said a woman who
Is known for her courage in wearing
costumes which do not follow the cur
rent styles. Madame Guilbert is not
only a great artist in her rendering of
the ancient chansons OF her country;
she is a great artist In the dress she
chooses for these .recitals. / have
never seen anything more graceful,
free flowing and womanly than her
costumes: and. while Of course the
rich medieval materials would have
to be modified by any woman who
adopted the general style of her dress,
| cannot help feeling that the designs
would be charming even when work
ed out in simpler fabrics.
Madame Guilbert wore. for ex-
ample, a simple one-piece underdress
of rich red silk Over this was worn
a sort of vest or girdle of gold bro
cade combined with color. and over
both was a wrap so simple that one
wondered why it was so beautiful.
Down the back fell a panel of rare
brocade, ending in straight line
fringed with gold At the hack of the
neck this panel divided and came over
each shoulder. falling down the front
In two simple panels, each eRding in
heavy tassel of dull gold The wrap
was wide enough to form sleeves where
t. fell over the arms. With one toss,
either panel could be thrown over
the other shoulder. to give freer use
of the arms and when arranged in
this way, it's lines were lovely indeed.
Upon returning to the stage for
another group of songs. Madame Gull
bert had replaced the heavy orocaded
garment with ane of silver embroid-
cred gauze. This was quite as beau
tiful although very different.
