Ida Rubenstein, Pavlowa. Karsavina, Kciusnetzoff, Cecile Sorel and Simone when they appeared In them to thrill the hearts of thousands, "It has long s'lnce been shown that the seeming caprices of feminine toi lets are due to efforts to reveal the 'beauties and conceal the defects to which humanity is heir, and it is the same end, exactly, which I at tempt to accomplish by means of a union of art with the technical science of line, of'color, and of tex ture.
