MISS MARTHA HEDMAN in the
Romantic Young Lady" gave a
delightfully."- ingenious impersona ii on
of a girl who thought herself quite
ultra-modern in her thinking and
ideals, but who found that at heart
she was more or less "old fashioned
after all. The scene of the play was
laid in Spain. but if the fact were not
imagine anywhere. Miss Hedman's
gowns are very new. and really ex-
duisite.
In the first act she appeared in a
simpie afternoon frock Of pale orange
tinted georgette with few touches
of old blue stitching. The bodice had
kimono sleeves. 1t was belted in with
a narrow fold of self material, on one
side Of which was placed a corsage of
grange flowers clustered in ribbons.
A single panel hung from back of
these and extended about seven inches
longer than the skirt hem, which was
scalloped and edged with blue.
The tailored suit sketched was a
girlish model of dark blue tricotine
with braid trimming. The loose
straight-hne jacket had bell-shaped
sleeves and was slashed around the
lower edge to form panels. A white
lace collar finished the neck, and the
blouse worn beneath was also white.
The lower part of the skirt was
slashed in panels and outlined with
braid to correspond with the jacket
A wide girdle of red silk fringed with
blue was draped around the waist to
add a dash Of Spanish paprika" COL

and everybody was busily engaged IN
taking care of her.
