As you see the never ending pro-
eession OF magnihcently equipped
motor cars down the Avenue; the
beautiful body designs. no two alike
the goFgeously sly-appointed interiors;
the handsomely uniformed chauffeuFs,
do you not Immediately sense the
feminine touch There Is scarcely an
other industry that gives the thought
and attention to pleasing the Eternal
Feminine or gives more painstaking
cooperation than the automobile in
dustry.
In days gone by. when one gave
thought to driving an automobile
there appeared before the minds eve
a much besmeared and be-greased
individual whose chief pleasure in
motoring seemed TO be lying on his
back under the car TO hud out just
what was the matter, or who, with
unfailing patience, cranked the motor
until his arms ached.
Milady looked at all these things
but was not discouraged. She made
up her mind to run q car and that
left no room for argument.
Meehanism simpllaed.
Automobile manufacturers knew
just what they had to do The
mechanism was simplided, and hav-
ing made the driving Of a car a
pleasure TO the weaker sex" they
next attacked design, comfort and
harmony.
No longer satisfied with a car only
mechanically perfect, Milady must
needs have in addition. individuality.
No other car that rolls down the
Avenue must be like hers. Some part
Of her personality must distinguish
the car she owns; therefore into all
details Of construction and design
went the same diligence and con-
that she gave to the
Of her gowns or the dscoFa-
tion OF her home.
No longer is the motoFist satisfied
with the first car which she thinks
'iwill do" She figures out what
chassis she will purchase, which, in
addition TO being mechanically all she
desires and within the limits Of her
purse, will be best suited to the body
that she has in mind. Having reached
