How do moving picture producers
entertain their audiences with photos
of steam engines coming head on but
keeping at a uniform distance away
from the spectators? How are horses,
fighting their way around a racetrack,
shown to a spectator as if the latter
were following them, like a disem-
bodied spirit, every moment Of the
way? How, for instande, did Producer
William Worthington, director of the
two-reel Gold Seal drama. "The Rose
Colored Scarf" show Herbert Rawlin-
son and Agnes Vernon in an automo-
bile, speeding along apparently a few
feet from the spectator? Where was
the camera placed, and how did the di-
rector give his instructions to the play
ers?

to the elbow. Milady often went about
her home without footgear of any
kind, but when she ventured abroad
she wore her sandals.
The Assyrian lady loved her Jewels
with just as much ardor as did her
sisters of other nations. Her ear
rings were of gold and bronze. some
with gems and some without. She had
at least one pair of earrings set with
pearls. Her bracelets were of glass
lady's slender white hand. Her finger
rings were also of glass. Her favorite
necklaces were made of light blue
beads, both square and fiat in shape
and ornamented with horizontal fiut-
ings.
'"The women of India" to quote DR..
Hough. "excelled the women of every
other nation in the variety and guam :
tity of their jewelry. The nose jewel
was worn by all women of India and
was so large that it came down over
the mouth. They wore rings on their
toes as well as on their fingers and
they had a weakness for anklets and
jeweled headdresses.
The comb, used by the Hindu wom-
an was most curious. Its teeth were
hollow, and every comb had place
for the lady's favorite perfume. When
the maid dressed the hair of her mis-
tress the perfume flowed from the hol-
low teeth and perfumed the hair. The
Hindu women also wreathed them
selves with flowers and probably after
a fashion of which we know nothing"
Milady of Persia began an elaborate

complexion. A box which contained a
choice cosmetic was selected from
many others and red substance was
applied in the most approved fashion to
the face. Her fingers were tinted, the
finger nails touched with henna, and
even milady's feet were colored with
henna. Eyelashes and eyebrows were
blackened with antimony.

and style. but what it lost in cut and
style 1t made UP for in gayety Of color
and diversity of pattern. The favorite
colors of milady of old Greece were
red, yellow, purple and, as second
choice. gray and green. The materials
for gowns were woolen, leather. linen
and silk. The Grecian garment was
long and flowing. allowing ample free
dom to the limbs and subjecting no
part of the body to restraint. The en-
tire costume was conducive to health.
All of milady's garments were rich
to material, fine to texture, but
some were extremely simple as to de-
sign. A robe Of a ravishing shade Of
red needed no more adornment than a
simple border. More elegant apparel
included dresses covered with patterns
or figures. Floral and geometric de-
signs were used. The egg and dart pat
tern was conventional and considered
decidedly chic" Ivy and laurel wreaths
were also fashionable. Lotus buds and
flowers were distinct favorites as de-
signs as well as the most graceful and
beautiful. Designs Of animals and
even the human form were woven into
Grecian garments.
Women of old Greece fastened their
robes down the upper arm by number
of small, round brooches. This fasten-
ing formed loose sleeve which did not

to go about the house barefooted, but
upon leaving the home milady had
many pairs of sandals to choose from
The simplest consisted of leather
sole. which was shaped to fit the foot
and fastened on by means of straps.
In cold weather the Grecian milady
wore her capacious cloak drawn tight
ly about her. 1t was made to draw
up comfortably over her arms, and was
frequently worn like a shawl. A gar
ment which served as CLOAK and veil
was owned by every woman. 1t could
be worn in a hoodlike fashion over the
head. Grecian women veiled them
selves before men.

There is a question as to whether or
not that pet of 1000 years ago had a
wardrobe with sweaters, CATERS. etc.
but it is quite certain that he was
adorned with a bow of pink, blue or
yellow ribbon.
Milady of old Egypt was excessively
fond Of jewels, and her jewel caskets
contained many precious rings. Most
of the rings were of pure gold. though
occasionally milady selected from her
crowded jewel box an odd silver ring
that had appealed to her fancy. On
some rings was engraved the name
of the royal city; on the heads of other
finger rings were engraved figures of
sphinxes. the eyes being cut in low
relief and colored.

ears. 1t was then twisted in long
pendant ringlets In part, and the rest
of the hair was arranged in three or
four rows of curls at the back of the
neck. Often the head was encircled
with a becoming style of fillet.
Milady's dress had sleeves and was
somewhat less scanty than the dress of
the men. 1t was made of a striped or pat

waist and a fringed cross belt was

Milady dyed her hair with henna and
plated 1t in many long braids. She
was also a connoisseur in scents, and
her dressing table was sprinkled with
receptacles which held variety of the
most exquisite perfumes. Pierced ears
were essential. and young girls whose
