Gauzy net in silver floats about this costume, and emerald, jade and tur- quoises are initiated in the jeweled trimming. The Oriental headdress is of black velvet and deep blue beads.
 A dinner gown of black velvet, white lace and rhinestones lacks the Bakst suggestion of color, but it traces the Bakst influence none the less in the oddly lifted drapery, show ing festoons of beads beneath and in the bead embroidery and bead strings on the bodice. This bodice with it's shoulder straps of jet and pearls sug- gests an excessive decolletage, but above it is band of cream lace and above that a very modest chemise of flesh pink chiffon reaching quite to the throat.
 And finally, the pantalet-sacred to the memory of Queen Victoria's scru- pulous modesty in the early days of her reign, as one has always supposed is now laid at the door of Bakst. It is a direct style inspiration, say the couturiers, of Bakst costumes for the Ballet Russo in which, though the dancers dance on slimly supple bare toes, ankles are usually covered with some Oriental form of bIoomer or slashed trouser which might easily be termed pantalet-if one so chooses.

companies a long, full skirt on which are f1ounces, pinked at the edge. The skirt is black, the long waisted basque white; a delightful shoulder cape gathered into a frill white also. At either side of the bonnet fall folds of black and white yelling, framing the face. And each wisp of veil is caught against the bonnet with red, red rose. Truly Bakst. this touch of red rose in the black and white costume! And now comes along Lanvin with a black silk frock trim- med with pink ruffles and a cape-like bodice shirred into ruche. And there Is a demure bonnet-hat with a puffed crown and pleated frill at the edge and red rose against one side.
 A wrap "after Bakst" is pictured and its color outdoes even the most brilliant Poiret creation of past years. The ground of the wrap is orange splashed with sprawling figures in yellow with outlines and minor em- broideries in vermillion. The lining is vermillion satin. Peach, apricot, primrose and jade green are com bined most exquisitely in another modern costume whose supple, close- fly fitting tunic and loosely knotted girdle suggest the Bakst influence.

Hay.
 The costumes of all the dancers. and not only the costumes but the scenic designs whose backgrounds blend the costumes into gorgeous harI mony, are the work of Bakst. There Is the somber magniflcence 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 raiment. For exam pie, the costume of the eunuch in "Scheherazade" has had an immedi- ate influence on Parisian evenine gowns of the winter. In this costume there is 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 ton. This deep girdle, forming a sort of apology for bodice, and held up bv shoulderstraps of pearls or crystal beads is to be seen again and again in winter dance frocks-and it was borl roWed by it's originator from the Bakst costume of the head eunuch. Since this costume is typical of thei Bakst brilliance and daring of color It Is worthy of detailed description. The baggy trousers and broad girdle are bright orange, the long jacket vermlllion' red; the tall cap vermil- lion also. The vermillion coat is en- broldered 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. Remember that this costume is worn,

such as Leon Bakst revels in; and though some couturiers are attempt ing it. the color effects are markedly subdued when compared with origi-
 nal Bakst sketches for the costume of the Ballet Russo. Vermillion he combines daringly with orange. Pea
 cock blue and magenta go hand in hand. Various purples mingle fear lessly with reds It is in the adroit introduction of whites and blacks that Bakst shows his greatest skill; and also in his nice balancing of tones his proportions of color. Bakst-blua is a splendid shade that has already become fashionable. Cherries and
 plums used as trimming motifs he has also introduced to fashionable consideration and it is safe to say that the new Bakst veil will take femininity by storm. Karsavina wears this demurely coquettish veil with a love of an early Victorian bonnet in the irresistibly dainty fantasy, "Papil- lon," one of the most interesting fea- lures of the Ballet Russo. The bon met, reincarnated from the '40's, &C.,

ulcltis-and the reasons for being "on a diet'' are innumerable.
 The most popularly accepted req son is of course the pathetic and valn hope of "reducing"-pathetic and vain, that is, if you are not the individual chiefly concerned in the, diet; but only compassionate on, locker, so to speak. But there are great many other reasons for "being on a diet" the reduction of too, too solid flesh is only one of them There is, for instance, the sternly strict diet of the training season for athletic work. By this rigid form of Spartan self-denial every ounce of superfluous flesh is made to vanish; the utmost of power and endurance is given to and to lungs and the result is classic beauty of physique-the long. strong lines, the lean, chiseled facial contours of the trained athlete, with every power raised to the de- gree of highest efficiency. But there Is no figure that as readily takes on flesh at middle age as the figure of the trained athlete whose training has been abandoned in favor of the good things to eat and drink of this world. that have been brought to the highest condition of efficiency must not be allowed to soften and grow fabby. for over such muscles does fat love to establish itself.
 Then there are the various diets for digestion troubles. To be pitied indeed, the unfortunate individual who is compelled to forego all the good things of the table and live on crusty, scientifically prepared husks and dyspepsia tablets.
 The diets for indigestives-to coin ! word that seems appropriate-are many. Each unfortunate has to find out for him or herself what is or is not permitted by the ogre of the ali mentary tract. Some dyspeptics can

 Karsivina's Famous Scheherazade .
 Costume.
 Undoubtedly the much be-sIashed costume of the Sultan's Favorite will form inspiration for many a boudoir negligee in the next twelvemontb. And by the way it 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 all agog. But this is a divergence-back to Scheherazade and the Sultan's Favorite as inter- preted by Karsavina-and Bakst. The much slashed 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 iacket of silk, is of encrusted jewels-rubies. emeralds and pearls.
 Another Karsavina costume is worn by the dancer as she appears inI Prince Igor" in the Ballet Russe Skirt and trousers are of rich ma genta red satin heavily embroidered in purple and gold. The tunic of hlmy pink silk is striped with faint lines of red The head piece of' gold-colored silk is edged with pearJsI and ornamented with purple stones, set in pearls.

and nine-tenths of complexion troubles are traceable to disordered istomachs. AS in the case of digestion diets, the same remedy will not help all individuals. Strawberries will bring out a fine rash on some skins; clans or oysters will produce a very serious skin eruption with other folk, Chocolate in any form will make ugly. burning red patches, which often come to head like small boils. on the cheek, forehead or chin of certain people who can indulge in any kind or rich candy but chocolate candy; in any kind of beverage but chocolate beverage; in any kind of cake or pud- ding but cake or pudding owning chocolate as an ingredient. This is' another instance where experimental docet. As a rule, however, any com- pleXion will be much benefited by an occasional course of diet which in cludes as a mainstay fruit, fresh in the morning and cooked at night, milk, whole wheat bread, rare, juicy meat once day, plenty of fresh sal ads and an avoidance of fried, greasy foods, rich gravies, pastry and sweets.
 Speaking of ''being on a diet" the Pi'iobic oDJSCt III lily clCQudluI- ance is fat woman compelled to diet half the year for rheumatism, and the other half to keep down superflu-t ous flesh. Unfortunately for stout folk, rheumatism diets and reducing ulets do not coincide. Neither diet permits sweets, but while the reducing, diet allows plenty of nourishing red meat, the victim of rheumatism has nothing to satisfy her yearning for good. filling food-denied meat and sweets-except a few vegetables, ce- reals and bread and butter. The seeker after slimness, on the contrary may not look at cereals or bread and butter. Milk, which is a standby of the rheumatism diet. is also denied her.
 Rheumatism in it's first stages may easily be tended off by strict attention to diet; but the trouble is, rheumatic subjects are fond of the things that make uric acid-sweets, above all- and they are slothful about dieting until the first warming twinges have become serious aches, and stiffness and enlargement of the joints has oc- cured. By this time the trouble is

And it was 8 summer ol strenuous work and play, too; hours of work at a desk and golf, swim7 ming and tramping between. But a milk diet must include plenty of milk. a pint every three hours at least, SO that strength may be kept up.
 Olive oil is 8 wonderful thing to put becoming fat on too prominent bones and joints. Warm milk at night and plenty of cereal for break fast will help, too. The woman who wishes to get fatter should sleep g great deal and be lazy whenever she can.
