Chinese Fashions This Season Give You Art
and Beauty," Says Viola Allen
air urAnoAnET nuunAim ayer.
Tho woman who sat next to me at the
.entury theater during the matinee of tho
"daughter of Heaven." kept making curl
ous little drawings on the borders of her
program. There would be a tiny little
design marked blue or pink, and It wasn't
until she had sketched ono of Viola
Allen's costumes, that I recognized her as
the designer of a big dressmaking estab
lishment, getting Ideas for winter
fashions.
For this Is going to be a season ot
Mings and Manchus, and tho Inspiration
Is found In the gorgeous pageant at the
Century theater, whore Miss Allen pre
sents a most wonderful plotura aa the
empress of the Mings, the Daughter ot
Heaven.
It was after the great battle scene,
where the young empress sees the last of
her faithful followers imolatlng them
selves on the funeral pile, that I hurried
back tb Miss Allen's dressing room, to
find the gallant empress still In full
armor and not yet having cast off the
glamour of tho stirring sceno.
It was she who explained to mo the
difference between tho Manchu and the
I Ming, for I had picked up a photograph
iof the actress In gorgeous Chinese cos
tume, and asked If it couldn't be repro
duced. "Oh. no, that Is wrong; that Is a Man
ichu costume," sold tho empress of the
Mings, and I felt as If I had committed
high treason In displaying my Ignorance
of Chlneso customs and art nnd etiquette.
You see, un empress of the dynasty o
Ming, even behind the scenes, nnd oft
the stage, and In private life, could not
appear In the costume of the Manchu,
the hated enemy of her race; for Ming
and Manchu lire different In taste nnd
customs, and that shows Itself In the cus
toms, though both seem equally gorgeous,
and both will be copied by the woman
who studies the art ot dressmaking.
Tho Mings, less well known to us than
the Manchu race, went In for dlrectoiro
effect In clothes, with high waist lines
and long flowing garments, oovered with
glittery things ot exquisite shade?. They
stuck to pastel colorings except when
they were fighting:.
On the other hand the Manchus were
the ancestors of our own Paul Polret,
avoided waistlines of any kind, nnd took
spirit of the play, and never thinks of
fut'guo once she has gotten Into her part
And sho was still In her fighting cos
tume of vivid yellow, a kind of Chinese
Joan of Arc, I asked her If sho was as
warlike off the stngo as on It, and If
"Votes for Women" was her motto.
"I am uhante? to H;y " pleaded Mist
Allen. In the gracious sort of way sho
1ms of speaking, "I simply haven't had
time to study tho question, and I really
don't know anything about It. hut 1 vow
that I will learn, for people nro already
beginning to ask mo for my political
sunttments, I suppose, because of tho
part I'm playing now.
"One thing Is certain. Tho Chinese
woman even In fighting costume, has
less freedom than the Amcrlcun woman
of today In her hobble skirts. "look at
the shoes," said Mian Allen, putting out a
little foot, In tho double Chlncsu sandal,
which looks -k wobbly and uncertain.
"These shoes are very hard to walk In
at first, and I still think It's a very
difficult thing to suggest dignity while
tripping In the Chlneso way and making
those tiny little steps. There Is so much
In tho way ono walks; so much beauty
und so much character. And the tiny ntcp
of the Chlneso woman Is not character
istic of our race, nor does It, In my mind,
suggest tho nobility and dignity which
we demand In an Imperial character."
That little matter of walking Ib only
ono or tho millions at difficulties which
beset the actresses of tho Chlneso play.
Those terrifically long finger nails sign
ot the Chlneso urlstocr ucy were another.
As I looked at Miss Allen I realized how

"Don't you think tho clothes are 'ex
traordinary?" said Miss Allen, after she
had hurriedly dlnposed of the ubiquitous
question of health and beauty, In these
few words. "Health la a question of
common sense, diet, exercise nnd rest. I
am suro everyone must nnswer you In
tho same way, for that Is all there In
to It."
"Look as those gorgeous frocks," said
Miss Allen as she opened a door and
showed mo a closot full of the most ex
traordinary garments, made of gold
tissue, embroldere les, beaded fringe,
beautiful transparent fabrics, of fairy
like coloring.
"Do you know I think only one of these
dresses could be worn today, for women
have developed so much Individuality In
their dressing that these frocks Instead
of being startling or unusual, as coming
from a far-off land, are appreciated for
their greut artlstlo beauty."
Despite the long and very arduous
role that Miss Allen has to play, she did
not seem to be the least bit tired, for, as
be said, she's carried away by the

stopping to thing, a dozen pitiful, help
less, poverty stricken widows that wo
know and are called on to help from time
to time, who wcro left oomfortablo for
tunes by their husbands, but who luivo
beon cheated out of their money, or lot
It slip through their fingers, because they
were as Ignorant of alt business uses us
u child.
They didn't know which was thtt busi
ness end of a check. They didn't know
tho difference between a gilt-edged bond
und Wild Cat Preferred. They didn't
think thnt such a casual thing as signing
your naino on a plcco of paper. that you
hadn't read could really amount to nny
thing one way or tho other. They wore
suro that Deacon Htnlth was perfectly
honest because ho prayed such beautiful
prayers and that Cousin Thomas would
wy thorn back their money because
wasn't he their own dear aunt's son?
I know ono woman who today Is keep
ing a mlscruble railroad eating house
whose husband left her U'OO.OW that she
got rid of within two years by the aim
p'e expedient of signing an Innocent look
ing paper that a man told hor was an
option on n Iqt. Bho didn't read It. Bhe
probably woudn't have understood It II
she had;, but whon the man wns arrested
for running a fraudulent real estate
agency she found nut that she was his
partner nnd responslblo for hla dobts
Him truthfully denied that sho knew of
having such connection with him, or
wns responsible for his deeds, but tho law
took a very different view of the matter
nnd hhn found herself swept bare of overy
penny.
Kadi one nf you can match this story
with another In your own knowledge, and
this Is what makes It so Incomprehensible
that tho man who Is trying to protect
his wlfo doesn't also try to protect her
from her own Ignorance about money.
Of course men shrug their 'shoulder
nnd say that women don't understand
business, As a general thing that Is
true, but how should a woman understand
anything that she Is never taught?
Neither do men understand how to cro
chet and do battenberg ntltch embroid
ery, but that Is no Indication that they
haven't IritoIHgonco to learn how to do
crocheting and embroidery If they had
tho proper Instruction In them and had
the Importance of lenrning how to do
fancy work Impressed on their minds.
That there Is nothing so mysterious ot
occult about ordinary financial affairs,
that a woman can't understand them la
abundantly proven by tho fact that there,
are hundreds of thousands ot clever and
successful business women In tho country
and that many ot tho valued employes
In every commercial concern ure women.
Moreover, In the management ot their
own affairs women aro qulto as success.,
ful as men. Tho' iwcrugo woman can got
twice as much out of a dollar as n man
can when It comes to shopping and house
keeping.
Thero Is no earthly excuse that a man
can glvo for not trying to fit IiIh wife to.
handle whatever money ho leaves hep
when he dies, yet practically no man does
It. If you, Mr. Man, who road these llles,
should die tomorrow, whnt would your
wlfo know about your affairs? How com
petent would sho be to wind up your bust- -ness
or to carry It on? How much would
she know about tho best way to Invest
her Insurnnco money?
Wouldn't sho have to absolutely depend
upon your partners, and somo lawyer,
and trust to their honesty nnd disin
terestedness? 'Wouldn't she be Just as
liable, to go Into a ration speculation as
tn make a good Investment with her
money? Does she even know the differ
ence between living on one's Income and
spending one's capltal7 Wouldn't she
thing that sho was as rich as Mr. Rocke
feller and could afford a trip to Europe
or an automobile If your estato amounted,
when settled up. to I3O.00O,4 Instcud of
realising that she must be very economi
cal because she had only nn Income ot
$1,200 or II.WO a year, nnd thero was na
one to bring In nny more money?
If you died tho happiness of the woman
you love and thnt you know to bo so
holpless, tho very food nnd shelter of
your little children, would depend on your
wife's knowing how to manage money
and take care of what you loft her, yet
you do not take tho trouble to try to
prcparo her for suoh n contingency!
It's llttto short ot & crtmo to turn this
defenseless creature nut to tho tender
mercy of tho financial1 sharks. Don't do
It. nesln today to try to teach your wlfo
something about your affairs, and about
Investments. Try to tako out somo In
surance against her Ignorance along with
your other Insurance.
