fashion week in the Zoo. Not
n that the animals are arraying
themselves in new costumes and
seeking to outdo each other in
pIossiness of fur and brillianey OF
feather. No, it is only that this favorite
meeting place of the people Is beginning
to be more resplendent with new Spring
STYLES. and that it is here gentleman
with his fashionable lady trlenu, or
fashionable lady wife, may resort Tor an
sppetinng dinner in the gay restaurant
or to listen to an orchestral or Vocal
rrorram in the spacious concert hall.
For the Zoo, after all, in many re-
snrcts is but an extension of the Win
terparten. One can even attend the
atrical performance in the new Mar

50 much to see and hear that it is likely
thousands of visitors to the Zoo during
"ModenWoche" will never get as much
as a glimpse of the animals Ballets,
solos. vaudeville. overtures, luncheons

they are in the concrete, are not the
largest in the abstract. However that
may be, the small ''portemonnale, at

costumes were more pleasing than the

modest and discreet. And surely less
expensive! Even IN these days. Where
the old traditions are preserved, there IS
no fresh fever every season about the
styles. Does a Spanish lady, for in
stance, need to consult fashion plate?
Not by any manner of means. she
gracefully drapeS a shawl about her
shoulders, sticks flower and comb
in her hair, and she is picturesqueiy
arrayed for any occasionl In spain ana
in Italy, too, the mode is always demo-
cratic. not a system of imperious and
arbitrary requirements in ones apparel,
subordinating the person to the thing.
Nevertheless, we intend to see this
function through, and are going to the
Zoo again today, and probably tomor-
row. And so, most likely, are you We
haven't seen all the different kinds of
hats and slippers yet Perhaps we may
even be permitted to peer behind the
scenes and discover the wherefores OF
some of these current artif1cialities
