THIS.
Looking back on it reflectively, there
seems hut one comparison which could
have been made that would be unfavor-
able to the Mackay party; that is IN
the fashions of our day as revealed IN
the apparel of the guests. Clothes to-
day are neither beautiful nor as
tinguished. The setting, as l have
said. was extraordinary, but indoors ana
ont. One felt that through these rooms
and grounds should move men ana
women gorgeously dressed in marvellous
materials, dignified and graceful ing.

these things.
For many years men have dressed IN
a sombre, unbeautiful fashion. Inc

be a great pity if they too become I'M
interesting and monotonous IN their
clothes. Yet 1t seems to me this IS the
tendency.
At this ball supposedly everyone wore
her favorite or newest dress, yet not
one stands out in my mind. Not once
did see a woman enter the room who
stood out from all the others. l am
speaking now from the point of view OF
Dress, not Of face.
What is our dress today? In the
first place, young and old wear prac-
tically the same thing-a chemise dress,

An EngIishman named Rheade, who
some years ago wrote an interesting
book on fashion, said that "the uses of
clothes may be said to be threetold !;
first, for decency-second, for comfort
and protection; third, for beauty and
adornment." On reading history one
realizes that we are not nearly as I'M
circumspect in dress as people have been
in some periods, although we are more
SO than was the Victorian era, for in
stance. We strike an average. Com
fort we certainly can put at the head OF
the list. No age has ever thought more
of its comfort in dress than ours.
But it seems to me that beauty is
being decidedly sighted. Clothes I'M
auestionably affect ones carriage and

lin short straight chemise. Put on a
ldress with long flowing lines, address, of
lany kind that seems to demand some
Thing from you and see how you in
.stinetively walk and carry yourself in
d different way.
In my opinion, the modern dress does
not deserve magnificent and romantic
surroundings. Perhaps that is why so
many of us live in low ceilinged and con-
densed apartments.
