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.
In designing a woman’s costume,
the first point to consider and the
most important. Is the silhouette. In
the art of costuming it is the main
essential. If one can attain the cor
rect silhouette the battle is won; the
rest is but a trifling matter of tech
nical artifice, artistic arrangement of
color, a clever coiffeur and a suitable
makeup.”
Chopped pimentoes, chopped celery
and chopped olives all vary plain
