THE people of Aegina re-
fused; and the members
of an expedition sent against
them, attempting to drag
away the sacred statues with
ropes, were seized with mad
ness and destroyed, one after
another, so that only one man
returned alive to Athens. This
man, recounting the disasters,
was surrounded by the women
whose husbands had been
killed, and each one pierced
him with the bodkin that fas-
tened her garment; so that he
died under their hands.
THE conduct of these women
filled the Athenians with horror
and. as a punishment, they obliged
all the women of Athens to give UP
the Dorian dress which they wore
and instead to clothe themselves
with the Ionic tunic, which had
no need of any pin to fasten it,"
=
VXTHAT the people of Aegina re-
w fused is beside the. point-the
point is that the conduct of these
women was irrationally stupid and
yet gave birth to one Of the most
intrinsically beautiful garments OF
all times, the lines of which are
seen to this day in our modern gar
mentS.
T thought this might interest you
In cur rambleS about Europe
from time to time we just
couldn't help finding any num-
Der of quaint and amusing mas
querade costumes-for your Euro
pean can't live without his fete
days, and fete days demand mas
queTade costumes! So this week
we just got our sketch books,
cleaned a few of the best ideas,
and then designed for you enough
to fill up TO the brim-droII peril
ciOus costumes, which will be good
not only for Halloween, but for
any other parties during the win
ter. And you may have the mall
by sending your 2-cent stamp to
the Dare Department of The
Times today.
NH, so lovely, oh, so flattering,
~ oh, so intriguingly feminine!
very sheer wells covering eyes are
very smart Mamzelle thus cables
us from Paris!
XXTHO else would dare? For It's
w the black satin foundation
that has the pink incrustations, and
the whole is overlaid with heavy
black lace! Now that we have seen
Mag Helly dare to make it, we very
much want to see some one dare
to wear it.
NH say, this is getting to be more
~ fun, even, than we thought it
would! And what a revelation of
opinions it is! What's YOUR idea
of a fad, a craze, an affectation that
has had very strong hold on the
feminine imagination for several
seasons now? Just guess what it
is! To help you, I can hint that
it is craze for something that has
been considered undesirable and
even ugly for no one knows how
many centuries-and yet is for the
moment considered the height OF
chic. WHAT IS 1T?
Christmas Boo Suggestion
THERE is nothing like Christ
Il mas gift that can be amusing
interesting and enduringly helpful
Laugh if you wish, but one of the
most intelligently thought out
Christmas gifts I ever heard of was
one made by a very wealthy CIR.
to her very wealthy dad in the form
Of new chauffeur
Dad was having one unSuccesS-
full chauffeur after the other, anc
she just in and interviewed anc
tried out and trained chauffeurs un-
til she got the RIGHT one and ther
presented him on Christmas morn
ing!
Amusing, but I can think right
this minute of one or two very busy
and usually tired business men who
would positively bless me we're ]
to interview, select and train fol
them a chauffeur or butler or some
thing of the sort.
