Its response to the hand and spirit of the artist is unequaled. Through its miraculous singing tone the most exquisite passages and the most profound measures of the great composets attain their full Significance. It was chosen by Liszt and Rubinstein. It is the choice of such pianists as Paderew- ski, Rachmaninoff and Hofmann. But the greatest tribute to its ex- cellence is this—that the over- whelming Majority of Steinway pianos have been bought by people of moderate means, who have realized the true economy that lies in buying the best. Always the There is a Steinway dealer in your com- munity or near you through whom you may purchase a new Steinway piano with a small cash deposit, and the balance will be ex- tended over a period of two years. * Used pianos accepted in partial exchange.

To this public the Steinway is sold, as a matter of principle, at the lowest possible price, and upon terms that keep it well within the reach of every true lover of music. Some one of the numerous styles and sizes will fit your income. Each embodies all the Steinway principles and ideals. Each is con- structed under the personal super- vision of the Steinway family.

Np adi a THE SPIRIT OF FRANCE BEGINS when you pass Sandy Hook LE you could take a little grey cobble-stoned corner of old Tours, with a church, and a cafe, and a market, and a dog asleep in the sun—if you could carry it through the air to America, away from its chateau country and its shining and placid Loire—would you have France? No. France isn’t brick and stone. It’s alive— human. France is French people, living—laughing —shaping inanimate things to the French pattern— such a neat little pattern, with a rose or two on mm Balzac was born in Tours, and he could have made France anywhere. That’s why French Line boats are France afloat. When you walk up the gangplank, you're in France. = furnishings of the staterooms are French—the ed and detail of the service, the charm of the little shops, the cunning of the hairdresser, the verve and gayety of the dances, the marvel of the things on which you dine! And when you disembark at Havre and step into the boat train—there’s France ashore, with Paris and its gayety three hours away . . Take your car along with you, uncrated, and drive it off the dock. And then the beaches, the mountains, the wonderful roads to motor on, the endless array of new things to see, to feel, to talk about, to bring home in your trunk— or your camera—or your soul . . . You'll be a more interesting person when you get back. You can go to France this summer for $140.00, in the large French Line one-cabin liners. You can even make a round trip for $162.00—tourist class, with individual cabins, as the college boys and girls are doing . . . You can live well in France—and tour— on six- dollars a day.

wo hop (fy | The Streets of Old Philadelphia recall in their narrowness the days when soberly clad Quakers trod their walks, but coupled with these memories of the past one finds in shop windows merchandise that breathes the very spirit of to-day. Here one sees a gown that one saw this same month in the rue de la Paix and here a jewel that it would be difficult to equal in Bond Street or Fifth Avenue. The social activities of Philadelphia have swung around the Bellevue-Stratford for years and to-day they continue to swing more merrily than ever. Up and down Walnut Street and Chestnut, from Eighth Street up to and beyond aristocratic old Rittenhouse Square, one finds shops in which the gowns and hats, the shoes and accessories, the per- fumes and jewels bear the mark of what is absolutely correct this season. 3 <= HARPER’S BAZAR

They were, it is true, ready to grant that California boasted wonderful sunshine, a delightful climate, but otherwise—! A visit to California, no matter how brief, would indeed be a pleasant awakening for many a provincial New Yorker. For he would find, not only a tremen- dous alertness in sports, but also a keen understanding of smartness in attire. The well-dressed women of California and the exceptionally modish shops which cater to them do, in fact, set a standard of their own in smart apparel.

for MARCH 1925 THE EE ay The simple sports costume dominates the, entire mode, during all of its waking hours. Many a frock goes out to shop and is changed for a counterpart of itself for tea. The simple kasha or crépe frock, the small hat, the matching coat, these are bases of the mode. MODE AND THE FABRIC ARE This Season, the Mode Cannot Be Dissociated from the Fabric; The Fabric Is Now, More Than Ever, Part of the Atmosphere of the Mode By Lucie HE selection of fabrics for frocks this season is simplicity itself. Certain fabrics are appropriate for certain types of costumes, others are not. That is all. Smart costume has become standardized, universal; so have fabrics. For sports wear—one might really say for general daytime wear, because the sports costume and its modifications are the very basis of the present mode— the following fabrics are smart: kasha cloth, used by itself is still good, but kasha cloth combined with matching crépe is better. Lanvin makes her newest sports ensembles of crépe and kasha cloth and of kasha cloth combined with unusually fine knitted wool of the same color. The latter is, of course, essentially for sports. Surah silk has been revived, both plain and printed. It is used for ensembles for frocks and matching coat linings. For simple frocks it is printed with polka-dots, which are newly revived and very smart, and with all-over floral designs or plaids and stripes in vivid color. In these printed silks the Spanish types of colors are good. Cream, sand, printed with vermilion and sepia. Beige-rose and “blonde” backgrounds rather than white. Pervenche blue, magenta reds, and wine reds. Pervenche blue combined with darker blues. The American designers have kept rather closely to these colors and have produced few of the cooler colors, few greens and grays, but the French designers have launched a smoky warm gray, and are still true to BUCHANAN almond green, and occasionally one sees a true ‘‘ poison green” in a French collection. Black-and-white crépes, figured, checked, striped, and polka-dotted are good. They combine extremely well with black fabrics for ensembles. Crépes are made into large two-yard square shawls, or in oblong scarf lengths and printed in the center or at the ends, to be draped into simple frocks that use the figured part toadvantage. Surah silk comes woven in plaided squares like large mufflers that may be worked into frocks, combined with plain fabric, or used alone. Ribbed fabrics are smart again, but “with a difference.” Bianchini is showing a new ribbed fabric called “‘velvaflor” that has a velvety quality and is at the same time lustrous and far more supple than last year’s ribbed fabrics. Bordered crépes and chiffons are extremely smart for afternoon. Some are made with double borders, so that interesting costumes may be draped from them. Enormous floral designs are good for afternoon, both in chiffon and crépe. Homespun fabrics, made in France, and British homespun fabrics are used for complete sports en- sembles and for separate little frocks and top-coats. Large homespun shawls from Scotland, plaided on one side and in plain color on the other, make extra- ordinarily smart top-coats for sports and steamer wear. They are made in the delightful heathery colors, gray- blues and gray-greens, to dark robin’s egg blue and shades of beige, tan, and brown. ONE

At the bottom of the page is shown a detail of the printed Cheney crépe in the middle. It might have been done cas- udlly, with ink and stub pen. Another good example of the use of plain and printed fab- rics is an ensemble of blue twill with beige and blue crépe. From Lord and Taylor. Polka-dots this season have unusual interest.

From Hollander. Enormous plaids of the type shown at the left pattern the reverse side of the Scotch shawls used for top-coats. These plaids form a border that deeply faces the coat where it closes and at the hem. Another of the interesting homespuns used for top-coats this season is shown at the lower left. Harmonies of gray and gray-greens stripe it horizontally, but the entire lextile appears gray green. FABRICS WITH THE HOMESPUN QUALITY ARE

The enormous designs, either entirely cover- ing the fabric, or in groups of two or three large flowers placed on three different sorts of a fifty-two inch “‘shawl” or an oblong scarf-like piece are shown by several of the French designers. These “shawls” are used to make a cleverly draped frock. The bordered fabrics that present much the same idea, that of a nucleus of design from which the couturier may work, are now smart for simple frocks.

for MARCH 1925 The coat of this banana- colored sports costume is of Patou’s favorite sports fabric called **Frisotta.”” The frock is of matching crépe de Chine, trimmed with bands of flat silk stitch- ing. Frisotta is like silk Turkish toweling. JEAN PATOU THE FRENCH SPORTS COSTUME BECOMES INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT For Resort Wear the Sports Costume Goes Out to Remains UR resort wardrobes, nowadays, contain * only two types of dress—sports clothes and evening gowns. We wear the one till six o’clock in the evening, and the other till as near six o’clock in the morning as our com- plexions will stand. The former type is becom- ing so all-important that some of the leading couturiers in Paris are opening departments de- voted exclusively to sports models, in rivalry with those specialists who maintain houses for nothing else. Lanvin has just inaugurated one of these depart- ments, across the street from her regular salons, in the house which used to be sacred to interior decoration. Down-stairs, nowadays, there is a flourishing men’s shop, and up-stairs is a long room, with the gray walls and carpets and the bright chestnut woodwork which always means Jeanne Lanvin. Here, in glass cases, are the latest scarfs and handkerchiefs, many of them in Rodier’s softly brilliant tissues; and a slender mannequin, with low heavy brown shoes and patterned woolen stock- ings, promenades between them, wearing a series of irresistible little costumes, of which two are il- lustrated on these pages. Many are made in combinations of fine wool jersey and crépe de Chine; others combine plain and plaid kasha; others again are in rich-colored silk jerseys. Pastel colors are favorites; wine reds appear with frequency, and pure and plain white is well represented. The Play Golf and to Take Tea simplest of stitched hats and plain crépe scarfs com- plete these practical ensembles. Jean Patou’s new “Coin des Sports” opened with a bang in the middle of January. A series of rooms on the ground floor of his stately house has been transformed for this new and strictly modern pur- pose. They are arranged appropriately to form a background for sports costumes of the most correct kind. One is paneled with Scotch pitch pine and furnished with a huge fireplace, in order to give the proper frame for such Harris tweeds as would find themselves perfectly at home op a real Scotch moor. The whole department is in charge of the Vicom- tesse Henri de Janzé, herself a typical English sportswoman, and a great-great-granddaughter of King William the Fourth of England. The aim and object of her direction will be to provide the absolutely right thing for the right place. Are you going to the Lido in August? She will design you a bathing-suit in which you will feel like a round peg in a round hole; for she has lounged on its hot sands herself, at the proper moment, with the proper people, and can equip you to do likewise. Are you meaning to play golf at Le Touquet? Madame de Janzé plays golf herself on all the links in Europe, and knows just how to contrive those hidden plaits which will give you room for an efficient swing. Are you going to hunt in England? She hunts regularly from Melton, in the heart of Leicestershire, ne a A Sat a tat a LG ARS es

PARIS COMBINES CREPE AND CLOTH FOR ITS SPORTS COSTUMES LANVIN and she will build you a perfect habit in which you will both look and feel comfortable. More than this, she has on file a directory of specialists, and will give you the address of the best makers of all accessories, riding-boots, tennis racquets, golf clubs, skis and skiing boots, and all the varied paraphernalia of the sportswoman. Prominent professionals in all sports will be dressed by this department, and will, in return, give their expert and proved advice. The motto of the house will be “Comfort first,” and many of the materials will be imported from England and Scotland, where the world’s sports clothes originally came from. Materials are of extreme importance in this type of dress, for they must combine smartness with durability. In addition to the tweeds, both im- ported and native, there are the mixtures, or mélangé materials, mostly imported from England and often destined originally for men’s wear; the Rodier burafyls, diagonal weaves in tones of brown or gray; and the various varieties of homespun and cheviot. These are the most practical. For less strenuous wear, there are the kashas, plaid, checked, and plain; the fine wool jerseys, frequently combined with crépe as Lanvin uses them; cotton velvet, adapted to sports clothes by Chanel, who, in the beginning of things, first used wool jersey for this purpose; some of the alpacas, especially the new Coudurier “crépe dandy”; the silk shirtings and the toiles de soie, of which the Coudurier “‘carreaux damoiselles,” in new effects of plain centers and plaid borders, must be mentioned; there are the silk crépes, both plain and patterned, particularly the lovely new striped ones of Ducharne; and Patou’s specialty, illustrated on these pages, a sort of silk Turkish toweling called “frisotta.” If we should have an unusually hot summer, we may see some printed cottons and chintzes, and some of the lovely Rodier For this sports ensemble, Patou uses a beige Empire mixture of indistinct check. The simple blouse is of matching crépe. (Left) This season Lanvin is using a com- bination of almond green crépe and fine wool jersey for many of her sports costumes.

Chantal, a newcomer with excellent ideas for sports things, has adapted the fine Shetland wool shawl to new uses, employing sometimes two colors, one over the other, with a third material, such as kasha, for the skirt. Flannel, used to some extent in America, is not yet seen here for sports clothes. : As to shape, the two-piece frock is decidedly im the lead, either in one material, or two, of which one is often crépe. The skirt always allows for some sort of fulness, hidden, or obvious, like plaits. Extreme simplicity is the rule. The coats which accompany these frocks are sometimes straight, and sometimes slightly flaring, at sides or in front. The revival of capes, particularly for sports weat, is a question of much interest. Some have ap- peared in the Midi, and they are awaiting accep- tance by women that matter. After all, there must be a change sometime from the eternal straight coat. MARJORIE HOWARD Ca

Need- less to say, there are not wanting those who will have it that no nightingale could have done such a thing, nor has the meanness of envy ever been so Clearly shown as by those who have suborned cer- tain bird-fanciers into declaring that the nightingale is a bird notably averse to singing in squares, and that the legend should therefore be deleted from the folk-tales of Mayfair. But, however that may be, the doubtful song of the nightingale is far from ing the burden of this tale, which has to do in a general way with a plague of owls, in a particular way with one owl, and in a most particular way with the revolting doom of a lord: whom may the td rest in peace, for we are all of us miserable sinners eva aa even though very few of us can get away with it, : Tiaste is a tale that is told in London, and Fg —_ many and divers people who saw the satan flight we need mention only policemen, age bus-drivers, noblemen, colonials, and Pe Ss, to be convinced of the truth of what they € and all say, how in the gloom of a certain Who With Their By MicHaEt ARLEN Illustrated by John LaGatta summer’s twilight not long ago there flew a plague of owls across Trafalgar Square toward the polite heights of Hampstead Heath. Now maybe no one would have remarked them, for the strange cries and hootings with which they adorned their flight were not discordant with the primitive noises of the town, had not the pigeons that play about Lord Nelson’s monument fled before them with affrighted coos; and in such an extremity of terror were the timid creatures that very few were ever seen in those parts again, which is a sad thing to relate. NJOR can any man speak with any certainty of 4 the exact number of the owls, for the twilight was deep and the phenomenon sudden, but one and all need no encouragement to vouch for their prodigious multitude: while the fact that they ap- peared to be flying from the direction of Whitehall at the impulse of a peculiar indignation has given rise among the lower people to a superstition of the sort that is perhaps pardonable in those who have not had the benefits of a public-school education. These simples declare that the owls, for long peace- fully asleep within the gloomy recesses unrecogniz- able to the feathered intelligence as the austere House of Lords, had been startled from their rest by the activities of the new Labor Government as revealed in that patrician place by the agile incen- diarism of my Lords Haldane and Parmoor, and Will Not Wives had in one body fled forth to seek a land wherein a Conservative Government would afford them the lulling qualities necessary for their rest. The serious historian, however, is concerned only with facts. The plague of owls fled no one knows whither, although superstition points to Italy. But this much is known, that whilst crossing the brilliant center of Piccadilly Circus one among them swooped down from the twilight and perched on the left wing of the figure of Eros: which, pre- sented to the nation by one of the puissant Earls of Shaftesbury, adorns the head of the charming fountain where old women will sell pretty flowers to anyone who will buy, roses in summer and roses in winter, roses by day and roses by night, or maybe a cluster of violets for a young lady, a gardenia for a gentleman of the mode. Now why that one owl separated itself from its fellows for no other apparent reason than to perch on the left wing of “Lord Shaftesbury’s Eros has hitherto been a mystery to the man in the street, who was at the time present in considerable num- bers reading The Evening News and discussing the probable circulation the next morning of The Daily Mail. The owl rested on its perch most silently: nor did it once give the least sign of any pertur- bation at the din of the marching hosts of Piccadilly Circus, and this for the space of one hour and eighteen minutes: when (Continued on page 126)

ETTINA had been to St. Moritz in January. Later on she had written from Rome. Charming letters in which she expressed herself very freely on many matters of interest to me. She had a lot to say on the subjects of breeches and face treatments. I do know something about breeches, but face treatments, creams, and cos- metics are a sealed book to me. Nevertheless, a few bright thoughts on such matters came to me last month. They were hastily recorded and should by now have appeared in Harper’s Bazar. These “clever remarks” of mine were, however, more theoretical than practical, and it was therefore My intention to follow them up by some definite inlormation on beauty treatments. I appealed to Bettina to help me out. She at once sent me notes >saam are going to be very valuable. My plan was ‘0 use these notes in an article and to pretend the imparted knowledge was my own, but somehow I os find the right angle to present this informa- nas | would like to. Wouidn’t it almost be to Bive Bettina her due, and send her notes — York just as I’ve received them? Owever, while reading over her letters, a When and How to Wear Them problem presents itself. How am I to separate her information and advice from the rest? I am much tempted to facilitate my task by giving some of the letters as they are. They afford sufficient glimps- es into the workings of an observant mind to give them to the public in full. This first letter came from St. Moritz: “Palace Hotel, St. Morits. “ My dear G.: % | ap mcs wad picture was taken at St. Moritz. I promised to let you see what I looked like in breeches, and I keep my promises. There will be no need of your making fun of me, for I look quite charming, don’t you agree? “Only since being up here this season, do I realize how dangerous it is for us women to appear in breeches. Two years ago isolated sportswomen wore shooting clothes or riding togs for skiing or bobsleighing purposes. However, they were the exception. To-day breeches are de rigueur not only for sports but especially for parading the village streets and attending tea parties at “‘ Hansel- man’s,” the confectioner. All women, both young and old, irrespective of shape and build, appear in them—a sight for the gods! Why, oh why, are women so unjudicious in the selection of their attire? It seems to me three women in a hundred are built to look well in breeches; the ninety-seven others should be condemned to the everlasting wearing of skirts. For is it judicious to expose to a scrutinizing gaze what has been so wisely hidden by women for many centuries? “Of course, my point of view is purely esthetic, for there is no denying that breeches are very practical, in fact indispensable for skiing and bob- sleighing and a very great comfort when taking long mountain walks. However, the necessity to wear them all day long, to lounge about the hall of the hotel in these ‘‘unmentionables,” or worse, to appear in them in the ballroom at the tea hour, is absolutely uncalled for. Why not, after a skiing expedition, change into a sensible sports skirt—at once! At all events breeches should never be worn without a long belted jacket and never with a tight-fitting sweater. Homespun is smart, but some waterproofed material is more serviceable. “My suit comes from (Continued on page 136)

The; nal Lady TA Loos Ralph Barton books for my birthday by a gentle- y all seem to be about ocean travel. March 30: Mr. Eisman and Gerry, as Mr. Lamson wants me to call him, became friends and March 14: GENTLEMAN friend and I were dining A last evening and he said that if I took a pencil and put down all my thoughts it would really make a book. This almost made me smile as it would really make a whole row of ency- clapediacs. I mean I seem to be thinking all the time. I mean it is my favorite recreation and some- times I seem to sit for hours and do not do anything else but think. This gentleman said a girl with brains ought to do something with them. He said he ought to know brains when he sees them because he is in the senate and spends quite a great deal of time in Washington, d.c., and knows quite a few of the senators. It might all have blown over but this morning he sent me the book. When my maid brought it to me this morning I said to her Well Lulu we had several evenings together. here is another book and we have not read half the ones we have got yet. But when I opened it and saw that it was all a blank I remembered my gentleman acquaintance. So here I am writing a book instead of reading one. It is to late to begin with January but it does not matter as Mr. Eisman was in town practically all of January and February. I mean when he is in town I do not see practically anybody else and when he is in town one day seems to be practicaly the same as the next day. For instance if I wrote out January 1 all I could do was put quotation marks for all the other days. When a gentleman is interested in educating a girl like Mr. Eisman is in me he really is quite careful about how he wants me to spend my time. Of course being in the button profession in Chicago he really is not in New York except on business and when he HARPER’S BAZAR March 14: It would be strange if I turn out to be an authoress. is in New York we always seem to do the same thing. I mean we always seem to have dinner at the Colony and see a show and go to the Trocadero and then of course Mr. Eisman shows me to my apartment. Of course when a gentleman is interested in educat- ing a girl he likes to stay and talk about the topics of the day until quite late so I am quite tired the next day and I do not really get up until it is time to dress for dinner at the Colony. It would bestrange if I turn out to be anauthoress. I mean at my home in Arkansas my family all wanted me to do something with my music. All my friends said I had talent and Papa kept after me and kept after me about practising. But some way I never seemed to care about practising. I mean I simply could not sit for hours and hours at a time practising just for the sake of a career. So one day I really got quite tempermental and threw the old mandolin clear across the room and I have really never touched it since. But writing is differ- ent because you do not have to learn or practice and it is more tempermental because practising seems to take all the temperment out of me. I really almost have to smile because I just have noticed I haye written clear across two pages onto March 15 so this will do for today and tomorrow. It just shows how tempermental I am when I get started. March 16: (ocr: called up again this morning and wanted me to luncheon at the Ritz. Really these foreigners have quite a nerve. Just because he is an Englishman and a Lord he thinks a gitl can waste hours on him just for a luncheon at the Ritz. All he does is talk about some exposition he went on to a place called Tibet and after talking for hours I found out that all they were was a lot of Chinamen. I will really be quite glad to see Mr. Eisman when he gets in. He really is always 4 gentleman and he always has something quite interesting to talk about as for instance the last time he was here he presented me with quite 4 beautiful emerald bracelet. Next week is my birth- day and he always has some delightful surprise 08 holidays. I did intend to luncheon at the Ritz with Dorothy today and of course Coockie had to spoil it as I told him that I could not luncheon with today because my brother was in town on business and had the mumps so I really could not leave him alone. Of course if I went to the Ritz nowIw bump into him. I sometimes almost have to smile tf om 2 Bee ie ee ae eee

It is really no wonder I can write. I thought I would take luncheon at the Ritz because Mr. Chaplin is at the Ritz and I always like to re- new old acquaintances because I met him once when we were both working on the same lot in Hollywood and I am sure he would remember me. Gentlemen always seem to remember blonds. The only career I would like to be besides an authoress isa cinema star and I was doing quite well when Mr. Eisman made me give it up. Of course when a gentleman takes a friendly interest in educating a girl as Mr. Eisman does you like to show that you appreciate it and he is against a girl being in the movies because his mother is authrodox. March ro: ME: EISMAN gets in tomorrow to be here in time for my birthday. Some literary gentle- men spent the evening here last evening. There was Lew Sherman the editor of the Transcript and Sam Holt the critic and Jimmy Howells the novelist and an English gentleman who writes novels to. Mr. Eisman likes me to have literary people about. He really is quite anxious for a girl to improve her mind and really his greatest interest in me is be- Cause I always seem to want to get on and not waste my time. He likes me to have what the French People call a ‘salo’ which means that people all get together in the evening and improve their minds. So last evening we all got together and I called up Gloria and Dorothy and the gentlemen brought there own liquor. Of course the place was a wreck Morning and Lulu and I worked like proverbial to get it cleaned up but Heaven knows how long it will take to get the chandelier fixed. March 22: ELL my birthday has come and gone. It really seems to me a gentleman who has dly interest in educating a girl like Gus Eis- Man would want her to have the biggest square cut ond in New York. I mean I must say I was a frien quite disappointed when in he came with a little thing you could hardly see. I told him I thought it was quite cute but I had quite a headache and had better stay in a dark room all day and I told him I would see him the next day perhaps. Even Lulu thought it was quite small and she said she always believed in the old addage Leave them while you look your best. But he came in at dinner time with really a very very beautiful bracelet of square cut diamonds so I was quite cheered up. So we had dinner at the Colony, went to a show and supper at the Trocadero as usual whenever he is in town and not in a poker game. I will really give him credit that he realized how small it was. I mean he kept talking about how bad business was and the button profession was full of bolshivicks who make nothing but trouble. Mr. Eisman feels that the country is really on the verge of the bolshivicks and I became quite worried. If the bolshivicks do get in there is only one man who could handle them and that is Mr. Griffiths. When I saw how he handled all of those mobs in Intolerance I realized that he could do anything. It was my first picture and will always be in my memory, even if I only did work two days. I acted in the scene where the gentleman fell off the tower. He was of Indian extraction by the name of Crystal Spring and was really quite brave as he would really do anything except go into water. But of course he always really became quite intoxicated before he did some stunt and the day before Mr. Griffiths wanted him to fall off the tower as luck would have it he was an ardent Catholic and signed the pledge. It was very trying to Mr. Griffiths as I can well imagine and he had to talk to him for hours and hours through a megaphone before he finally got worn out and fell off. I forgot to mention that the English gentleman who writes novels seems to have taken quite an interest in me as soon as he found out that I was literary. I mean he has called up every day and I went to tea twice with him. He sent me a whole complete set of books for my birthday by a gentle- man named Mr. Conrad. They all seem to be about ocean travel although (Continued on page 132) Here is the first real opportunity I have really ever had. So I am sailing for France and London on Tuesday and taking Dorothy and Mr. Eisman says he will see us there later.

THE LITTLE REVOLUTION IN NEGLIGEES The Principle of the ‘‘Costume Complete’? and the Tendency Toward a Masculine Severity in Dress Have Together Completely Revolutionized the Negligte By Marie Lyons HE negligée has long remained a classic tradition, outside the range of the ever-shifting styles which influence every other department of : dress. But in the last few seasons the changes which have so rad- ically affected street and evening dress have been reflected in the domain of the negligée, have even been more active there than elsewhere. The tendency toward masculinity in dress has made the strictly tailor-made suit popular, has brought in the shingled head, the gargonne dress, the severely plain glove and shoe, and the one-piece bathing suit, but only in the realm of the negligée has it actually imposed masculine trousers. At the same time the feeling that one could not be smart in an assem- blage of individual garments—a dress from one designer, a coat from another, and a hat from a third—this feeling for the “‘costume complete” that has claimed every other department of dress, has also invaded the realm of the negligée, so that now one does not feel properly dressed in one’s boudoir unless the bathrobe that slips on over the pajamas is a matching garment and the more formal robe intime is a three-piece cos- tume. On this and the following six pages are shown some of the newer models illustrating these two new principles of negligée designing.

THE REALLY DESIRABLE ORIENTAL GARMENTS FOR NEGLIGEES ARE THE FINE OLD PIECES OF ANTIQUITY One of the more unusual garments that can be worn as a negligée is a hip-length Japanese coat—a boy’s ceremonial coat—with extraordinarily long sleeves, worn with harmonizing trousers and a golden obi. The coat is tomato red crépe, with an elabor- ate embroidery predominatingly gold and green; from Yamanaka. The idea of the complete costume can be carried out in Oriental garments. Here, for example, is a mandarin coat, three- quarter length, some two hundred years old, in red silk embroid- ered in gold, blue, green, et cetera, and lined with blue silk. Pajamas to match the lining complete the costume; from Gaza. The mandarin coat with its five-toed dragons, its imperial pearls, its waves, and its sun-rays, makes the richest sort of ‘‘robe d’in- lérieur.”” This one is of salmon satin with the usual gold and brilliant colored embroideries. Contrasting trousers may be worn, straight across the bottom or sloped; from Yamanaka. HARPER’S BAZAR Posed by MARJORY LEET

for MARCH 1925 The vogue of the masculine lounging robe has increased incalculably since the first showing of these robes for women a year ago in Harper's Bazar. Women find them both comfortable and smart. This lounging suit in green corduroy is cut exactly like a man’s dinner jacket suit. Here is the masculine negligée at its most chic—a “‘ costume complete”’ in three pieces consisting of trousers and jacket (with kimono sleeves) of a beautiful Egyptian- figured silk, prevailingly blue and red, and a matching robe lined and trimmed with an unfigured grosgrain téte de négre silk. Models on this page from THE UNCOMPROMISING MASCULINE “COSTUME COMPLETE” CANNOT BE SURPASSED As a Feminine Lounging Robe These purely masculine garments are smartest when bought at a man’s shop where no compromise with the feminine angle is attempted. Here are pajamas of a soft Oriental silk, predominantly yellow, the jacket cut like a man’s, and over them is worn a matching robe. brilliantly lined.

In the’ privacy of the boudoir that long discussed innovation, first enunciated by the startling Mrs. Bloomer, has gone into effect: trousers have been adopted. Sometimes they are the actual masculine trousers themselves, bought at a man’s shop. Sometimes they are more feminine interpretations—soft, loose things of silk or chiffon. Such garments are worn not only in the boudoir but in the little reception room when a few friends are being entertained for tea. The foremost French dressmakers have been designing negligées of this type—and all the smart women in Paris are wearing them. Another innovation in the negligée kingdom is the adoption of the three-piece or “costume complete” idea. One wears trousers, a little blouse, and a soft coatee such as are shown on the opposite page; or one wears pajamas and over them a three-quarter coat almost as elaborate as an evening wrap. Many variations may be played on these themes and the coming season in the realm of negligées promises not to be dull. A AS CEES ES 2 eer rs eee

He was an ex- traordinary person—egotistical, domineering, im- petuous—with an amazing faculty for giving, and Paula seemed powerless to refuse. A botanist acquaintance at Renes-les-Eaux, whence Pandolfo had followed Paula and her friend Lady Demeter, had described a beautiful wildflower, found only on the most dangerous mountain slopes, and Paula expressed a careless desire to see one. Absent the following day, Pandolfo returned late in the evening, with the promised flower in his hand, but badly hurt. It meant a trained nurse and several weeks in bed. Pandolfo fretted under this enforced inaction. He had arrived at Renes-les-Eaux with wonderful plans for Paula’s entertainment, which his accident compelled him to surrender. But during one of Paula’s infrequent visits he declared his feelings for her, demanding that she marry him. And then Paula had a letter from her father, a tale of much affliction. Obeying a mischievous impulse, Paula announced to Lady Demeter and Pandolfo that her father had had a great stroke of luck, and that she was joining him immediately. Confessing later to Lady Demeter, she admitted that she was really running away from Pandolfo. The man’s insistence was getting on her nerves, and she had made up her mind to accept an old suitor, Sir Spencer Babington, in the diplomatic service. FourTH PART N UNIFORM Nurse Williams feared neither man nor devil. She would have put ice on a crowned head or taken the temperature of a mur- derer injured in pursuit of his calling with equal By Wiuiiam J. LOCKE Illustrated by Henry Raleigh unconcern. But in her inconspicuous mufti, she became a shy and provincial person. Supported by Paula, who had forewarned, by telephone, the invalids of Aix of their coming, she had sat through Juncheon rather thrilled and entirely demure. She would have a tale to tell in Bodmin of her ex-pro- fessional rubbing of shoulders with the aristocracy. She treasured scraps of their talk from which, her hosts being courteous gentlemen, she was rarely excluded. But it was a different matter when, the meal over, they passed from the hotel salle-d-manger into the leafy terrace garden, and Paula, to all in- tents and purposes, told her to go and play with Lord Demeter, while she herself dragged off Sir Spencer Babington to a remote bay of the parapet. Lord Demeter had said: ‘“‘The view over the valley and the lake is magnificent.” To which Paula had replied: ‘“You’ve seen it all for the last hour, from the dining-room window. Miss Williams is fainting for coffee and créme de menthe, which don’t appeal to me and are bad for Spencer’s health.” And she had walked Sir Spencer Babington off as aforesaid, leaving the odd couple planted there beneath the checkered shade of the sycamores. A hurrying waiter set chairs at a little table and took the orders. “T hope,” said Lord Demeter, in his timid, mouse- like way, “you’re not a celebrated person, Miss Williams.” The little nurse jumped: “Who—I? Hasn’t Mrs. Field told you? I’m only an ordinary pro- fessional nurse.” Lord Demeter beamed. ‘I’m so glad. My wife’s friends are all such famous people. One never knows whether one is talking to an astronomer or a poet or a prominent lady Bolshevist. I find it dreadfully Woman confusing.”” He looked at her with humorous suspicion. “You never go to Buckingham Palace covered all over with medals, do you?” “Oh, dear, no,” laughed Nurse Williams, in spite of her trepidation at being left alone at the terrible mercy of a peer of the realm. “Then there’s a hope of our becoming really friendly. But tell me—you’re not attending on Lady Demeter?” She liked him for the note of anxiety in his voice. She longed to give him the assurance that Lady Demeter was as strong as a cart-horse, but she thought it would not be respectful. She explained Pandolfo’s mountain accident. Lord Demeter re- membered some account of it in a letter from his wife. He had remarked to Babington, at the time, that it would keep the fellow quiet. “T don’t envy you your task,” said he. She asked why. “From what I’ve seen of him, it must be like nursing a whole Zoological Gardens.”’ HE laughed: the ice was broken. Thencefor- ward they got on famously. She found the real live lord pleasant and human. Instinct focused them on a common joy in flowers, the only thing she missed in her nursing career. Her father, in his small way, was a noted amateur gardener. Lord Demeter confessed a passion for the growing of sweet peas. It was her father’s hobby. At all the flower-shows through Cornwall and even Devon he was unrivaled. There was one of which he was particularly proud—the color of sunburnt peach. Lord Demeter leaned forward in excitement. : “‘He’s not by any chance the grower of Fairy Dream’?”’ He was. Lord Demeter leaned back with arms extended in mock despair. -

Nurse Williams nodded sagely. “She'll have to. He’s one of those people who get every- thing they want in the world. It isn’t a question of money, although he seems to be awfully rich.

By Marjortrc Howarp You capture a wooden chair, drag it to the edge of the maélstrom, and sit down to wait for your vendeuse. Every mirror is occupied. At your right is a lovely blonde, short crisp flakes of gold all over her bare head, smoking a cigaret in an amber holder so long that you feel sure her mother told her to keep away from cigarets. She is dressed in conventual black, as brief as bon jour; but round her creamy column of a neck are pearls like cherries, with two more in her ears and an enormous blob of a pink one on a pencil finger. Her supple foot, curved like a pointed tongue, is clad in a film of rosy beige and a plain beige pump. One hand, the nails like japonica petals, is bare; the other wears a plain beige glove. Over the back of her kitchen chair a glistening mass of sable, as dark as kolinsky, slithers to the ground. Beside her, on the floor, is a bandbox as big as a baby’s bath, and in it a mass of hats, in felt and straw and horsehair, all of which she has come to try on. Her vendeuse is studying the placing of a tuft of orange marigolds on a shape of unbleached bangkok. Shall it go at the side—so—or up the front—so? The blonde is gravely considering, her head on one side like an alert fox-terrier, and they are both as absorbed as if they were isolated on a distant star. The essayeuse stands behind her, huge shears in hand. She is waiting to cut, on the golden head, a felt as big as Wotan’s, colored like a ‘dark petunia. Clip! Clip! She severs it into two parts, a pot and a brim. The pot is crammed over the bright head, from front to back, bien entendu; the brim is fitted over this, and pinned with those skewers which pass at a milliner’s for pins. Then the cutting begins, and the width is shaved down, down, down, to almost nothing, with all the ruthlessness of a tax collector. The floor is soon covered with scraps of expensive felt, adding to the general litter. Peeping out of this cardboard cavern are hats in sparterie, in crinoline, in picot straw and milan, in bangkok and leghorn, and above all, in felt. I count a white felt, a creamy beige, apple-green, and

Could any one want such a proliferation of felts, as Mr. Phillip Guedalla would say? The cream and gold beauty declares them indispensable. I notice further, for I am in a noticing mood, that every felt she puts on is identical in shape, and that the trimming is always reduced to the least common denominator. What a contrast at the next mirror! An acrid, anemic, antediluvian aristocrat—high head, high coiffure, high nose, high voice, high everything, including her manners, permanently mounted on stilts to keep them from contamination with the common herd. She also is dressed in black, but far from simply; and her jewels, none of them attempt- ing to match, all want resetting. I sympathize with the patient efforts of her vendeuse to fit a tight crown over that incongruous mass of grizzled hair. But what will you?

Not so those of the two American women trying to see themselves in the same glass. They are traveling, evidently, for they have that see-Paris-or- die look which goes so well with a Baedeker. Their vendeuse has flatly refused to sell them either a flower or a feather, and they are trying to look as if they were getting their money’s worth in the simplest little felts they have ever worn in their lives. They are going to like these hats better every day, in every way, especially when they heat at home how young they are looking. That’s the secret of a Reboux hat, and that is why we all, aristocrat and commoner, are willing to wait hours and hours to get one. And all the time there is a vertiginous va et vient enough to turn one daft.

MARTHE COLLOT CAMILLE ROGER PARIS NOW WEARS ACCESSORIES LIKE THESE Soft little hats like this one of tan straw, banded with beige and brown feathers, Paris wears for morning. Your simon-pure Parisienne has more than her hats made to order; she begins at the beginning, with her lingerie. Absurd to have fittings for a chemise? Not at all, I assure you; very sensible indeed; and make it wash a great deal better and wear a great deal longer, for there is no extra strain anywhere. If she wears any sort of corset belt, and she usually does nowadays, it is most carefully designed and fitted. Shoes, of course. No one wears ready-made shoes who can possibly afford to do otherwise. Not long ago, her gloves were made to order as well. But the material of gloves is so stretchable and ready-to-wear gloves are so good, that most people have given up the habit. The latest elegance is exclusive jewelry. That is im- mensely smart and most effective. Look, for ex- ample, at the earring that Madame Agnés, the milliner, has had designed for her daintily rouged ear; a mere line of diamond sparks, outlining the lobe. Or at the wonderful pendant of Mrs. Jeffer- son Cohn, made of four immense diamonds, cut in oblongs. There are two sorts of jewelry—that which con- centrates attention on the stone itself, and that which embellishes and (Continued on page 140)

His weakness was the eternal one of his Oriental attitude toward He paid tribute to it on many an occasion.” HARPER’S BAZAR MADAME SEEKS A PRINCE That Was Gained by Proxy OprprPENHEIM Hotel de Ville at Cannes when the Honorable Eric Brownleys and his friend Sidney Trench, both aspiring politicians and junior members of the European Congress then in session there, came out together. The former made a little grimace as he noticed the emptying street. . “‘No interest in us whatever,” he observed. “The fact that I am private secretary to an English Cabinet Minister seems to leave these people unmoved. Not an upraised hat—not even a bunch of flowers.” “Seems too bad,” his friend sympathized. “Especially when you're lugging that infernal portfolio about, so that every one shall know that you’re part of the show.” Eric Brownleys summoned a little carriage. “Not even a photographer,” he grumbled. “We will just leave this at the hotel and go and read the papers in front of the Casino.” They drove through the clean sunlit streets with their ever-present air of holiday-making, called at the hotel for a few minutes and sauntered back to the Casino. They bought English newspapers at the kiosk and sat down to read under the red-striped umbrellas. Trench, an exceed- ingly British young man, ordered English tea and, ignoring the rest of the news, devoted himself to an article on the cricket prospects for the forthcoming season. The article was absorbing. It was not until he had finished the last line, and decided that, on the evidence, every county except his own had a chance for the championship, that he chanced to notice a somewhat remarkable change in his companion’s demeanor. The Times had slipped through his fingers onto the ground and lay there unnoticed. His hands were clasping the sides of his chair. He was looking out across the harbor, looking at nothing in particular, but with that set strange expression in his eyes which seems to come with a sense of danger. “Hello, Eric!” his friend exclaimed. ‘“ Anything wrong?” Tie crowds had melted away from the front of the HE Honorable Eric Brownleys forced himself back into the present. The effort was obvious. “Not exactly wrong,” he rejoined, stooping and picking up the paper. ‘There was something here which reminded me—well, of a time in my life I should rather like to forget. We all have those qualms, you know, especially when one is going to be married.” Trench snorted. “You're not going to play the man of sentiment, I hope,” he protested. ‘Anyhow you’d better postpone it for a minute. Here come Peggy and all the crowd.” Peggy, a very popular person, followed by a little crowd of satellites and companions, bore down upon the two young men. She was more generally known as Lady Margaret Rossiter, and she had been engaged for exactly three days to Eric Brownleys. It was a very satisfactory arrangement and everybody was pleased about it. “Dear me,” she laughed. “How interesting! The Brit- ish statesmen taking a rest. What’s in that glass, Eric?” “Sirup and soda water, Peggy. Wouldn’t suit you.” She made a little grimace. : “Come and have some tea in the Casino,” she invited. “We're going to touch them up at baccarat afterwards. And Eric, are you good for a cruise to-morrow? Your show isn’t sitting, is it?” “I’m afraid not,” he answered doubtfully. “T—well, * a matter of fact, I am afraid I shall have to go over to Nice. “To Nice! Whatever for?” “A silly errand,” he admitted. “But I’m afraid I shall have to go.” “Why don’t you go this evening?” she suggested. “Yoéu'll have lots of time before dinner, and you hate baccarat.” “It’s an idea,” he agreed, “if I could borrow a car. It isn’t as far as Nice, either. It’s only to Cagnes.” : “You can have the Rolls-Royce,” she assured him. “We can walk back to the villa. It’s only a few yards.

And good luck to you on your mysterious errand, whatever it may be.” “Mysterious errand!” Eric Brownleys, a few minutes later, sat back in a corner of the car with the Times a crumpled heap upon the opposite seat and cursed that errand and all that had led to it. He was thirty-seven years old; far enough removed from the follies and weaknesses of his somewhat callow youth. Things had changed for him vastly uring the last twelve years, and more settled oo had entirely destroyed his love of adven- sol ar memories conjured up by that short be a become almost a nightmare over which tooded gloomily as he neared his destination.

The sky had become gray and leaden da mistral was blowing across from the moun- i. = air was white with falling blossoms as i aera the long avenue. The wheat fields i b as though a wave were passing over them. Y buds from the chestnut trees fell all around him. The rose petals caught and tossed by the wind came down to lie like velvety snow on the broad emp ty piazza. There was no sign of life in the villa, the chairs outside were unoccupied. He gave a little shiver as he stepped out and ranz the bell. The comin g of Madame amazed him. In the darkened roo m he was unable to appreciate at first the subtleties of her wonderful preservation It was the Madame of fifteen years ago whose fingers he raised to his lips, her smile a little more languid perhaps, her movements more sedate, her voice carrying the same note. “You are almost the last, my dear Eric, to obey the call,” she told him. ‘Where have you been?” ‘“‘T was in Washington for six months on a special mission,” he answered, “and afterwards in Tokyo. Very few of my letters have reached me and I only saw the summons in the Times this afternoon. Tell me about some of the others.” “Hugh Cardinge has bought a farm just opposite, and spends a great deal of time with us, although he has obtained his quittance,” she confided. ‘Then Sir John Fardell paid us a brief visit,” she added, with a gleam of humor in her eyes. ” “Good old Johnny!” Eric laughed. “He's married the richest and the largest woman in the United States.” “A romance of the studio,”” Madame murmured. “Johnny was always a little after the shekels. Even in the Montmartre he loved the flesh-pots. But Cardinge—I’m interested in Cardinge. Fancy his settling down here!” “‘He arrived in rags,”” Madame said. ‘Landed at Marseilles from a South American tramp steamer and walked all the way.

He moved restlessly in his place. The room with its rather heavy hangings and dim light seemed suddenly oppressive. (Continued om page 114) “More than ever

Short Hair ts Now More Essential Than Ever to the Silhouette, Says Antoine, The Artist-Wielder of the Shears and Tongs, But Short Hair That ts Individual to Antoine’s, but if so you have missed a sight bien parisien. You might think that “the smartest coiffeur in Paris’’ would live and move and have his being in a palace of plate glass and por- celain, a cross between a heavily endowed laboratory and a millionaire boudoir, with all the fittings, includ- ing the heads of the personnel, in solid ivory. So you would hesitate to dive under the dark porte cochére, between dingy glass cases of travel photographs and batik scarfs, and up the twisty, pitch-black stair- case; and only the gilt “‘Maison Antoine” on the door would reassure you. There are just three rooms in this ‘‘ maison.” One of them, which might be called long and narrow, if it were not so short; another with a looking-glass pillar in the middle of it, with taps and basins set about its base; and the third a tiny vestiaire, where you leave your hat and coat, and where Antoine’s latest millinery creations nod on their long wooden stems. For in his “lost minutes,” as the French say, Antoine makes hats as original and as carefully studied as his coiffures. Prednis your peregrinations never took you HE “long,” narrow room is for waving and clip- ping and dressing; but the glass pillar one is much more amusing. If there is one time more than another when a woman appreciates privacy, it is when she raises her head, dank and streaming, from the toweled retirement of a shampoo. Yet, at An- toine’s, the position of a goldfish is a solitary cell in comparison. We sit in sweet and damp commu- nion, our shoulders almost touching, like Knights of the Table Round, while we are washed and fric- tioned and dried into the semblance of a movie heroine when they have called “fire” on her in the middle of the night. But he not only makes us accept it; he makes us like it and wait in line for the privilege! I found him, when we went to make the sketch above, putting the last touches to a Japanese wig for Ganna Walska, a thing of black lacquered puffs and long ivory pins. “‘How can I tell you anything about the coiffure dla mode,” he began, “‘ when the first principle of my work is individualism? Short hair? Yes, of course, it will continue. It is more essential than ever to the silhouette. A woman with long hair is as démodée as a woman with a long skirt. But, when a thing is as popular as this, it ‘falls into the common,’ as we say. How to save it from this fate? Individualism! A coiffure for every head. A special study of line and curve. The artist-coiffeur will always do this, but he must have the cooperation of the woman herself. She best knows herself, her own needs. If she does not—ah! then she is not a true élégante. How rare they are, rarer and rarer. Of course I know why. Always the same reason—redistribution of money since the war. But, yes, Madame! How long do you think it takes to make a real élégante? Five years? Ten years? Forty years, Madame. Yes, I assure you, no very young woman can be a true é/égante—she has not had time to learn. Youth does not need this last grace. Youth is so beautiful in itself, it has no need of being adorned (I am translating from his French, which is so much prettier. ‘La jeunesse n’a pas besoin d’étre parée’) Well, all these women who before the war were get- a Coiffure for Every Head ting ready to take their place as true é/égantes, have not the means any longer; and others, the newly rich, have not had time to learn. You cannot make a woman smart by giving her a lot of money to spend; though she cannot be truly smart without money, and plenty of it, either.” NTOINP’S hats are not the hats of the masses; they take “some wearing.” In the hand, they are amorphous blobs of satin, lace, or thin gold gauze, without frame and void of wire, sparterie, or any other visible means of support. On the head, they can be molded and twisted into becoming lines, to suit each individual countenance. Antoine himself positively sculps them. “I like to make thirty-six hats in one.” he explains. He thinks the present pointed shape perfectly frightful. As to what goes on under the hats, there is ex- tremely little worth the telling. Heads are still small and sleek, though here and there we see 4 woman who thinks her style demands a modified tousle. Sometimes the hair is cut exactly like a man $ —straight and short, the ears bravely showing. Earrings look almost incongruous with this coiffure. I begin to see quite a number of fringes, sometimes cut straight across the forehead, more often starting from one side, and rather thin and straggly. Part- ings down the center or on one side are frequent. When there is a chignon, it is tiny and tightly fitted to the back of the neck. Lady Abdy parts‘her hair all down the back of the head in the exact center, and makes a “doughnut” of hair over each ear. 4” profile of her head, seen from a distance, looks as ifit were shingled.

Consomme must possess a delicate lightness, an exquisite bouquet, a rare perfection of flavor. Yet it must, at the same time, be deliciously stimulating, a challenge to the appetite, a tempting invitation to the rest of the feast. More than equal to this exacting role, Campbell’s Consomme proves it by the regularity with which it is selected for formal service at dinner or luncheon. Made from only selected beef. Clarified to a beautiful and sparkling amber. Delicately flavored with the essence of young carrots, celery, parsley and a touch of onion.

Spencer has once more asked me to marry him and now I’m going to.” Lord Demeter screwed up his face into a myriad wrinkles of incredulity and within the limit sanctioned by good manners pointed a finger at the chair-hunting swain. “Marry Spencer?” “Tar ; “But, my dear, he—he knows nothing at all about it—” “He must, seeing that he asked Mrs. Field,” cried Nurse Williams, stricken with loss of romantic glamour. z “That isn’t at all what I mean,” cried Demeter. “What do you mean, Frank?” asked Paula, ly. The little man put hands to a bewildered head in which for years past had been stored a Manual of the Whole Duty and Deport- ment of Husbands. The expert looked aghast at the untried and also unpromising amateur. By the time Spencer arrived, presenting the chairs in his dignified manner as if they were protocols, he had recovered. He offered ur- bane congratulations. Spencer smiled and fingered his eye-glass. “Very kind indeed of you, my dear fellow.” He linked his arm gallantly in Paula’s. “From my point of view no congratulations could possibly be adequate.” THE phrase summoned a responsive flush of pleasure into Paula’s cheek. The last hour had brought curious realization of her conception of him at his best. The petty foibles and vanities at which she had always laughed had vanished for the moment when she had given him to understand her pre- paredness to reconsider her manifold decisions. She had been deadly frank with him—so was she self-assured. But the deadliness of a woman’s frankness lies in her secret store of the unrevealed. She laid, as she thought, her cards on the table. She scorned false pre- tenses. She admitted the casting vote of the mercenary motive. Fortunately she was able to give him chapter and verse for the Chad- ford Park disaster, for she had received by the first post that morning a letter from the hard-headed Myrtilla which filled with snaggy and rocky detail her father’s impressionistic picture of catastrophe. Said she, more or less, during the course of a none too easy conversation: “‘T’ve been fond of you, in a way, for heaven knows how many years. No woman has ever had a more loyal and devoted friend. Or lover.”” She granted the word at a sign of protest. ‘“‘I know you’ve loved me all these long, long years, and I’ve always felt myself to be the most selfish and ungrateful woman in the world. But it has been a question of you and my independence. And my independence has prevailed. Now my independence has gone up in the air and you swing down in the balance. I don’t love you, in the romantic way of love—’’ this, be it understood, is but a précis or résumé of an incidental duologue— “but for no other man have I such a high regard.” “All these long years to which you have referred,” said he, “I have asked for nothing but the gift of yourself.” NATURALLY, to tell the artless story backwards, his renewed proposal had followed her tale of catastrophe and preceded her frank capitulation. There were no crudi- ties in Paula’s conduct of life. She carried the situation with what, in man, is termed ur- banity. When she began—lounging with him over the circular bay of the parapet—Spencer Babington had no notion of a woman’s mind made up. He walked at once into the path somewhat disdainfully prepared. Thus she met him on her own ground. As above nar- rated she felt that she had bared her soul to him; there was nothing withheld that in the future might be the subject of reproach or even of remonstrance. And yet the name of Victor Pandolfo never passed her lips. It was Spencer himself, who, later, after the great announcement to Lord Demeter and Nurse Williams, alluded to the disturbing man. ‘I confess, my dear, I’ve been worried by that fellow Pandolfo. He pursues you, never seems to let you alone. I did not mind so much—to employ a figure of speech—your not marrying me, but—forgive a disequili- brated mind for contemplating such a possi- bility—your marriage with him would have caused me profound mortification.” ‘*I’m glad, my dear Spencer, that you apolo- gize for hinting at such an absurdity.” SB HARPER’S BAZAR THE GREAT PANDOLFO William J. Locke’s Novel (Continued from page 91) “But you must look at things from my point of view,” Babington persisted, eager to justify himself. “I don’t deny that, in many ways, I detest Pandolfo. He has ninety per cent. of the qualities in man that I most dislike. Igrant —I am nothing if not scrupulously fair—y ten per cent. of attraction. He is free-handed large-minded, and I bow to him as an author. ity on post-Raphaelite Italian art. But he is the greatest egotist I have ever met. That human failing, my dearest Paula, as our } intimacy must have proved to you, is to me the most repulsive and unforgivable. He lives up to one creed—pardon the apparent profanity for the sake of its appositeness, ‘I believe in Pandolfo the Father, Pandolfo the Son, and Pandolfo et cetera.’ His entire horizon is informed with the essence or spirit of Pandolfo. ... Well, perhaps a woman might not have the man’s clear vision in such a case. I throw myself at your feet for my unworthy and agonized speculations. Even the best, the most beautiful, the most brilliant of women have succumbed to the glamour of the adventurer.” _Paula said drily: ‘Why should you call him an adventurer? You've just said that you prided yourself on being fair. Clara assures me that he belongs to the old Italian nobility.” Spencer held out his beribboned eye-glass. “T know. Merchant princes. Ice-cream barrows. Or artists. Barrel-organs and monkeys.” Paula, remembering Pandolfo’s one auto- biographical sentence, clutched his arm. “Do you know that as a fact? Do you know anything about his antecedents?” “T don’t,” he admitted. “I was only ex- pressing feelings. I was uncharitable, which _ ,Wrong—especially at a moment such as s. “‘That’s one thing I like about you, Spencer —~your sense of justice.” He said, drily gallant: “I hope there are others.” She made laughing answer to which he re- sponded. He was obviously very happy. His unbending loverwise caused her both gratifica- tion and amusement. He had unsuspected possibilities, which for development needed only a woman’s guiding hand: an uncultivated garden, so to speak, responsive to patient and generous care. He asked her: ‘Why didn’t you give me this happiness years ago?” ““My dear Spencer,” said she, “you are one of the people who don’t burst upon a woman, but grow upon her. The safest kind.” [ATER again, he announced his intention of accompanying her to Renes-les-Eaux. Could he have place in the car for himself, suit-case, and man—the last having secured rooms by telephone? How could he live now, sixty miles away? ; ; “I’m doing it away from a real wife,” said Lord Demeter, who felt somewhat aggrieved at the prospect of shy loneliness; “so I don't see why—well—” Delicacy checked the flow of his argument. He could only present himself as a forlorn yet Spartan figure. Spencer Babington wax sprightly. There was nothing, said he, like the selfishness of a spoilt husband.

108 THE William HARPER’S BAZAR GREAT PANDOLFO J. Locke’s Novel (Continued from page 106) in her life. Esther Williams had found her- self as a social personage. Meanwhile the newly engaged pair did not, by any means, cause the road-bounding trees to turn aside modestly or the skies to blush, at any amorous phenomena. Once he took her hand. “Do you know, my dear Paula, I haven’t yet had the opportunity of kissing you?” Said she, with a laugh, “You have kissed me at least a dozen times in our lives.” “I know,” said he. ‘Could I ever forget? But it has been a question of privilege—old friendship. They have been dealt out, one by one, through many years. The first was when you wore pigtails and it was your thanks, somewhat impulsive, for a box of chocolates. There were others which were only consolation prizes.” “Tf you grow so pathetic, you'll make me cry,” said Paula. “Look at those violet shadows on the mountains. Aren’t they wonderful?” ‘“‘What are violet mountains to me at the present moment?’ His black-ribboned monocle waved them dismissal. “That was nicely put,” she said. “But, all the same, don’t you think you’ve lost quite an opportunity?” He bent round courteously: “I don’t quite catch—?” “Why didn’t you say: ‘Damn the violet mountains!’?” “T suppose I’m rather old-fashioned,” he replied, stiffly, resenting the implied criticism. She caught him by the arm, seeing that he was ruffled. ‘What in the name of common sense is the use of being old-fashioned in a new-fashioned world?” “The old stands for dignity, respect .. . honor of women. . . .” “But what ‘old’? Pull yourself together, my dear. As Napoleon said in front of the Sphinx, ‘The centuries are regarding us.’ Do you mean 1820? 1720? 1420? two million and twenty B. C? when you would, without any shadow of doubt, split open my exasper- ating head with a stone hatchet? The further I go back, the less honor I see paid to women. We're living in the nineteen-twenties, people of our own generation, expressing in some sort of blind, instinctive way, the spirit of our own generation. It’s lunatic for a young man like you to declare himself old-fashioned. Why limit yourself, as I feel you do, to Queen Victoria? Why not imitate the colossal ass of the modern world—you know whom I mean who goes about Paris with horrid bare toes in the costume of the ancient Greeks?” Said he: “I appreciate what you say, my dear Paula. But how would you—in broad terms, of course—define modernity?” She knitted a perplexed brow. Then, in amused desperation, she said: “‘ We're crisp, at any rate.” “TF YOU want help,” said Lady Demeter, “don’t come to me for it.” She washed her hands free from all com- plicity in the drama which she feared was about to be enacted. But announcement of intention and its execution are two different things. She loved Paula very dearly. Besides, Paula, except perhaps decoratively, wasn’t a lion. She couldn’t shoo her away and bid her quarrel elsewhere. Also, she was very angry with her; especially when Paula replied, superb and ironical: ‘I don’t see, my dear Clara, in what way I can possibly need your assistance.” “Who is going to tell Pandolfo and wrestle with him when he knows?” Paula shrugged her shoulders. “For every one his own business. It’s not mine and it certainly isn’t yours.” “But it will be mine,” cried the indignant lady. ‘He'll bring the hotel down about my ears, like the man in the Bible—Sampson, | think. You'll be safely away on your return to England to-morrow, while I’m tied here to finish my cure.” ‘All you’ve got to say to him,” replied Paula, “‘is, ‘My dear man, go out and rave at rocks and torrents; don’t rave at me, I’ve nothing to do with it!’” “But I’ve a lot to do with it,” cried Lady Demeter. ‘‘Do you suppose I haven’t been bored stiff, listening to him talking about you? He has taken it for granted that I’m his ally.” “It’s because he takes everything for granted, that I have no use for him,” said Paula. ADY DEMETER, in spite of figurative washing of hands, let herself go, feeling herself to be a woman outraged in all her instincts and sensibilities. The hardness of nails, she declared, was as nothing compared with the concrete petrifaction of Paula’s disposition. The day’s happenings had entirely revolutionized her conception of Paula’s character. What was Spencer Bab- ington giving her? Nothing. In the ordinary way she liked Spencer, a sort of elegant bit of human Sheraton to have about the drawing. room, That was his outside. In reality he was one of those horrid things with tentacles drawing everything within reach unto himself Oh, he had enough money, of course; but she was not speaking of money or of romance. It was a mere question of playing the game Paula was not playing the game. Paula hotly demanded explanation. Clara retorted that she might at least have waited until the ribs which Pandolfo had broken in her service were mended and he was physically fit to come down and throw Spencer Babington into the river. “I’m ashamed of you,” she cried. “It isn't fair. Don’t you see you're hitting a man when he’s down?” “‘T don’t intend to hit him when he’s up. The engagement won’t be made public yet awhile. I want to see first what is happening at Chadford.” “Do you suppose Nurse Williams isn’t telling him all about it at the present mo- ment?” “T asked her not to, and Spencer made it a special point with Frank not to mention the engagement to any one.” ““You’re a pair of awful cowards, both of you,” exclaimed Lady Demeter. “You're frightened to death of Pandolfo. I’ve a good mind to tell him myself; and I would if I weren’t afraid he would burst his poor, dear ribs all over again. Imagine Spencer breaking his ribs for anybody! Oh! I’ve no patience with you. I’m not coming down to dinner. T’'ll have a plate of cold ham in my room. You and Spencer can have a tender téte-a-téte meal. And if that nice boy Gregory Uglow comes along, you can hiss him away like the two wicked, selfish, cowardly geese that you are!” And she bounced, not without dignity, out of the room, banging the door behind her. AULA, — speechless from _ indignation, dressed for her engagement dinner. Her indignation was directed against her friend’s blatant hostility; her speechlessness was accounted for by the dismal consciousness that in some specious way, Clara had right on her side. That was the worst of these placid, sentimental women like Clara De- meter; they correlated everything with their fixed idea. Dressed, she flung into Lady Demeter’s room, where the latter was already beginning her solitary meal. It was monstrous of Clara to bring such accusations. The man was becoming ai obsession. The broken-rib appeal to senti- ment was nothing but blackmail. He been making her life a misery for the past two months. The thing had to stop. She had stopped it by engaging herself to a man who had been devoted to her for years. A dis tinguished man. A man about to be made an ambassador. A man in their own sphere of life. Not a sort of Casanovanic adventurer. An old Italian family! The Pandolfo Mala testa of Rimini! Where was Clara’s common sense? He rose literally from the gutter. He had told her himself. His father was 4 grinning Italian who hawked a tray of plaster casts about the streets of London. Yes, the gutter; walking in the gutter on the wrong side of the curbstone. “T can’t see what difference that makes t0 ‘our treatment of Pandolfo as he is,” said .ady Demeter, stonily.

Locke’s Novel (Continued from page 108) wounded lion is not to be recommended as the most patient of invalids.” Later when they had sat down, “I should call him a wounded rhinoceros,” said Spencer. “Need we talk of him?” asked Paula, rather sharply. He raised his eyebrows ever so little in surprise. He had seen her in various mani- festations—tragic, bantering, tender, ironical, enthusiastic, downright—but he had never seen her frankly ill-tempered. Soon, however, she regained control of angered nerves and put on a smiling face. They talked of Prague. The present minister would be retiring in about three months. Spencer would have that breathing space, that time for preparation, for acquiring at least a superficial knowledge of the language. It was absurd for a minister not to be able to read the names of the streets or recognize allusions to himself in the local press or say “How d’ye do?” Besides, that sort of thing always made a good impression, showed the people to whom you were accredited that you took some in- terest in them. There would be also time, if such a course met with Paula’s approval, for them to be comfortably married and have the usual holiday before plunging into hard work. “Tt would take me nearly that time to put my affairs in order and get a Czecho-Slo- vakian accent. Also an outfit,” said Paula. “Yes, doubtless,” said he. ‘Thank you for reminding me. I’ve had so many things to consider to-day. Of course, all your dresses are very beautiful. But I see that you’ll need a new stock. It’s a question of British prestige. In fact, of regaining what we’ve lost. These things may appear trivialities; but they’re not. I, too, must see about getting a new diplomatic uniform.” “And a new Rolls-Royce with the very latest thing in bodies.” I’m very fond of my old Napier—not so very old—three years. It’s a marvelous car.” “But it wouldn’t have the prestige in ow sage eyes of a brand new Rolls,” said aula. And he replied in all seriousness that doubtless she was right. He smiled in his wintry, courteous way. “You see, for the very beginning how not only useful but necessary you will be to me.” THEY were sitting, after dinner, on the terrace, the golden weather still giving its nights of scented velvet, when Gregory Uglow came up, with ever so slight an apologetic gesture. “Please forgive me, Mrs. Field, but I’m under orders. Sir Victor asks me to say that he would regard it as a great favor if you would go up to him for five minutes so that he can thank you for your kindness to Nurse Wil- liams.” She gave him as graciously worded a message of refusal as lay in her power. The young man bowed and went off. “The rhinoceros again—always charging in between us,” said Spencer Babington. “It’s his way,” said Paula wearily. From no point of view had her evening been a ee her afternoon, for the matter of that. “A confoundedly imprudent way,” he declared. ‘If it hadn’t been for that charm- ingly mannered young man, I should have intervened and insisted on your sending him quite a different type of answer. But he’s a gentleman. Any one can see it. What’s he doing in Pandolfo’s galley?” “Oh, cooking for him—as so many gentle- men have to do these days.” Between narrowed eyelids she watched his face lit by the pale glow of the hotel lights, but not irradiated by a gleam of recognition of her somewhat bitter little witticism. He only nodded sententious approval of a sociological proposition. She said: ‘Spencer, tell me. When is a door not a door?” He jumped up. ‘My dear, do you feel a draught?”’ He looked around. “But how can you, in the open air? Still if you’d like me to shut the lounge door” —some five yards away—*‘I’ll do so with pleasure.” ‘Please do. Those people are chattering so,”’ said.Paula, his muddle-headed solicitude moving her to repentance. And when he came back—‘‘Do tell me more about Bo- hemia.”’ ‘*Czecho-Slovakia, nowadays,” he cor- rected. “But I love Bohemia, with its seacoast and its Latin Quarter and its caravans and its Café Royal. I’ve never been there, unfor- tunately, but I think they must laugh a lot there.” Again the wintry smile. “I envy you your wonderful faculty of twisting things into a jest. It is part of your fascination” = “Do you think it will come in useful in Czecho-Slovakia?”’ “Doubtless,” said he. ‘‘ Without a sense of humor a diplomatist is lost.” . Presently, up again comes an obviously reluctant Gregory. “Mrs. Field—you know what he is, He has something of the utmost importance to tell you. I’m to say it’s about Chadford Park—your old home which you were so good as to describe to me a few nights ago. He is very excited. He has one of his ideas. The nurse is afraid of temperatures and things,” PENCER BABINGTON rose and, with a repressive sideways sign to Paula, ad- dressed the young man with exceeding cour- tesy. “Will you be so good as to convey my compliments, Sir Spencer Babington’s com- pliments, to Sir Victor, and inform him that what concerns Mrs. Field concerns me also,’ I shall be very happy to wait on him at any hour he suggests in the morning, to discuss what I presume are business matters con- nected with Chadford Park. And that my reason for assuming this responsibility is that this afternoon Mrs. Field did me the honor of promising to be my wife.” The last words of this ponderous announce- ment caused Gregory Uglow to be guilty of a perceptible start. Recovering himself, he inclined his head coldly to Babington and turned to Paula. “May I have one minute?” “As many as you please.” “T shall wait here for you,” said Spencer, drawing a cigar from his case. They stepped aside and walked toward the end of the hotel veranda. “T know I oughtn’t to think of myself, Mrs. Field,” said Gregory; “but I must. mina delicate position. I’m in Sir Victor’s con- fidence, if you can call confidential what he proclaims to everybody. I’ve just admitted, by Sir Spencer, for the first time into yours. Please help me—tell me what to do.” “You heard Sir Spencer’s message.” “T did. But what do you think would happen if I delivered it?” “Surely that’s not my affair, Mr. Uglow. You know you’re rather Shakespearian.” Her desperate annoyance was with whimsical irritation. No sooner had the master been more or less uncomfortably put out of the way than the man came to pester on his behalf, playing Viola to her Olivia. “T think I’ve already made my A said he. “But,” he added, “there the posi remains. If I give him the message, he'll get out of bed and storm about, and knows what will happen to his ribs.” Said Paula: “‘My dear boy, if you knew how tired I am of ribs! I feel I shall be haunted by them all my life. Oh, dear! Why is life so ludicrously complicated?” “Couldn’t you come up to him just fora minute?” urged Gregory. “Even you are against me,” she declared, mock-tragically. ‘Well, I suppose I must. Apparently only she could pacify the lion or rhinoceros or whatever he was. She led the young man back to the cigar Babington, who rose politely from his chair “Do you mind waiting a few minutes longer? It seems I must humor him.” She read on his face the cold disapproval which his code forbade him: to express il words before a third person. But he conveyed it in an icicle of a gesture, cigar in one set of fingers, monocle in the other. : “Of course. As you please,” said he. Two nervous, strong hands shot out greeting as she entered the chamber. Glad eyes gleamed welcome. “Why, why, why, why?” he cried. Why this desertion?

I had dreamed of ladies. I had built them up out of my own inner conscious- ness. For my boyish self I had invented ladies. Then I met a lady, and I found, as [ have always done, that my invention was right and sound in every particular—” Paula put up silencing hands and brought to bear on the sick man all the weapons of her charm. “*My dear friend—do forgive me. Another time I'll love to hear— Meanwhile, if you've nothing else to say to me, I must go back to my host—” “To that dried stock fish of a fellow! He doesn’t count. He doesn’t exist. There’s no earthly reason.” Paula smiled, ‘‘I must.” “Why?” “Because like Lady Demeter, and your early friend, I happen to be a lady.’”’ She saw him glowering at her, at a loss for a retort. ‘“‘One has to observe these little courtesies of life. To come back to the point. If it wasn’t Lady Demeter who told you about my father’s affairs, who was it?” ““T have lawyers and agents; there are also telegraphs and telephones. This came an hour ago.” He handed her a telegram. “Nothing known coal-field Chadford Park; on contrary rumor mortgagees about to fore- close.” “That true?” “Ves. “Well. what I wanted to tell you at once was, that I’ll take over the mortgages.” She drew herself up in a sudden flame. “You'll do no such thing! I forbid you.” ““You may,” he replied, “but I’m in the habit of doing forbidden things. You might forbid me to buy great blocks of shares in Paulinium, Ltd., but I'd do it all the same. And mortgages are things to be bought and sold just like shares or mutton chops. The mort- gagees will be only too glad to get their money back. I suppose there are half a dozen of them. These are not the days of melodrama when the sole mortgagee is the nouveau riche who has schemed to turn the poor old squire and his daughter out of their ancestral home into the snow—”’ “Yet you're proposing to be the sole mortgagee,” said Paula, “and bring the good old days of melodrama back again. The great Sir Victor Pandolfo will hold the poor old squire and family at his mercy.” “Pride,” said he with a smile. “It is one of your adorable qualities. I have it too in my modest way. If I hadn’t found it in you, I should not have loved you. What use should I be to a woman who wasn’t proud? What would be the good of giving all that is I to a meek, receptive creature? It would be like pouring, as a noble but misguided lady did some years ago, a priceless wine cellar into the kennel. You, alone of women, are worth the wine of my existence.” He spoke vehe- mently, with inherited flashing of hands. “If it wasn’t a great wine, I should not have the audacity to make it yours. ... This mort- gage—it’s the idea and decision of but an hour. But all the big things of my life have been done on sudden inspiration. The mortgage will be yours—part of marriage settlements—” “But, good God!” cried Paula, driven to bay and bending defiantly over the bed, “‘won’t you ever understand? I’ve never said I'll marry you. I’ve never given you the slightest hope that I'll marry you. I’ve not the remotest intention of marrying you.” ““You mayn’t know it,’’ said he, “but you have. Deep down in you. You can’t get away from it. It was preordained when you were born, a fairy princess in your castle. while I a squalid, half Italian urchin, was playing about with other squalid urchins in the squalid streets of London. It was pre- ordained when I was born. It’s useless to fight against destiny, which in our case is peculiarly sagacious. And listen!” All of a sudden his voice rang and an arm shot out and his eyes gleamed: ‘‘There are things one doesn’t say idly to a woman like you. One leaves them to be divined. Only when one is goaded does one say them. And I say this now. You've got to reckon with a real man’s fierce passion and desire.” HE swept her hands over her eyes some- what helplessly. Perhaps, had he been on his feet, in his commanding masculinity, and savage action of enfolding arms had accom- panied savage speech, she would have been lost. Woman is only man-proof up to a certain degree, the degree varying according to individual temperament. So, also, mutatis mutandis, is man only woman-proof. But a man lying, perforce, flat on his back, the only part of whose visible person is a torso clad in purple and yellow pajama jacket, is at a disadvantage in the making of primitive love In the woman, elemental, sub-conscious sex felt the relief of physical freedom. Yet, no woman can hear a man—unless he is such as to inspire her with horror—declare his pas- sionate desire of her, without some kind of tinily responsive, even though hated, tremors, So Paula swept her hands over her eyes. She had recourse to reiteration. “Don’t you understand? Don’t you understand?” “‘T understand so well, that I’m luminously certain!” he cried. “You're mine, I’m yours, for now, for time, for eternity.” Her common sense, her modern woman- hood, suddenly revolted against the maniac on the bed. She forgot the delicately ep- dangered ribs. : “Tt’s no use your talking like this. We must finish the whole business once and for all I can’t marry you, for the very good reason that I’m going to marry somebody else. This afternoon I promised to marry Spencer Babington. There! I didn’t want to break it to you brutally; but you’ve made me do it.” She stood over him defiant. Suddenly she caught her breath, expecting prophesied catastrophy of rib disruption. Her heart beat foolishly. But nothing happened save that he held her with his eyes for interminable minutes and then, to her amazement and indignation, broke first into a smile and then into a low chuckle of laughter, which she could not but hold as derisive. “If you told me you were going to marry a man, I might believe you—but thai!” N a fury she left him, marched mechanically down the staircase without thought of lift, and, before she realized where she was, found herself on the hotel veranda quivering with sense of insult. Babington reared his lean height from the dimness where his chair was situated. ‘“*You’ve been away a long time, my dear,” said he, with a bow of courteous complaint. “The man’s impossible,”’ she declared. “Quite,” said he. “I’ve been sitting here so long that I feel shivery.” She lost control. ““You’d better go to bed and get warm. Clara has some bedsocks for you. I'll arrange with Simkin. It’s a pity you should catch cold.” “My dear Paula,” said he, “ what on earthis the matter?” She paused for a moment, trying to recover herself, and looking round—for the French windows opening on the veranda showed in the rooms within bridge-players and letter- writers and comfortably lounging folk— lowered her voice and brought her face near his. They were a tall pair—he, lean; she, in magnificently curved perfection. ; ‘ “Everything you can’t possibly think of is the matter.

She had, at last, graciously surrende herself into his keeping. She was therefore his. She had left him for an unconscio! time with nothing but a half-smoked cigar tor companion. In order that she should not have to seek him out, he had waited for her in the chilly night air. His doctor had wares him of the rheumatic menace of the night . of the Savoy mountains.

Phillips Story (Continued from page 99) It was over-filled with flowers, or perhaps their perfume was a little stifling on account of the lack of air. Opposite to him, Madame, so reminiscent of the past, seemed yet to have lost some note of humanity, to have become the effigy of herself. “They have their quittances, those others, I suppose,” he remarked. ‘“‘My own confes- sion is not a serious matter, but I want it back before I am married.” “You can have your quittance,” she re- peated, “when you have earned it, as the others have done.” “What can I do?” he asked, a little des- pairingly. “In the old days I had neither name nor future and nothing mattered. To- day I have both.” There was a trace of scorn in her slowly parted lips. “Bourgeois,” she murmured. “We all revert,” he declared, a little stubbornly. “My grandfather was a shop- keeper. I’ve got to run straight now whether I- want to or not. It happens that I do want to.” ““My dear Eric,” she sighed, “you are very simple. One can only make use of people for what they are. I can only make use of you in your present character—a young man of the highest respectability, engaged to be married, a budding diplomat.” “And entirely at your service so long as that is understood,” he put in. “You have been attending the meetings of the European Congress at Cannes every day,” she went on. “ You know the delegates?” “‘T have met them all,” “The man from the new East, Nicholas Kornstamm?” “T know him very slightly. We have to be civil. No one wants to be anything more to those people.” “You don’t know him well enough, for instance, to bring him out here to see me?”’ “Great heavens, no!” the young man replied. ‘‘There’s been nothing doing in social amenities with that crowd. And you, Madame—I should have thought that you would have been the last person in the world to have had anything to do with them.” Madame smiled cryptically. “Life brings us strange acquaintances at times,” she said. “It is necessary that I meet Nicholas Kornstamm. Come, don’t look so blank, Eric. You are more or less a diploma- tist, aren’t you? There is more than one side to your brain. You know how things stand between us. I repeat that it is necessary that I meet Nicholas Kornstamm.” “Tt is a rotten business,” the young man grumbled, “and I tell you frankly I don’t see how to set about it. Kornstamm and I never exchange more than the commonest civilities.” “You shall have your cue,” Madame promised him. “In that case, of course, I will do my best,”’ he assured her. ICHOLAS KORNSTAMM was not in the least true to type. A representative of one of those new States whose amazing and eruptive appearance had transformed the map of Europe, there was nothing in common between him and the unkempt, uncivilized crowd of emissaries who had at first flooded the Western capitals. He was a small man with rather delicate features, carefully dressed, and well versed in the social decencies of life. There were rumors that he had been valet to a Swedish nobleman in Paris. At any rate he spoke French and English with equal ease and was far more tolerant in his outlook than either his predecessors or his co-agitators. His weakness was the eternal one of his Oriental attitude toward the other sex. He paid tribute to it on many an occasion; noticeably a few days after Eric Brownleys’ visit to the villa. Two women looked at him as he lounged on the steps of the Sporting Club—an elder woman and a younger one, both, it seemed to him, beautiful, both, it seemed, of the world against which he was in arms. The elder woman wore a wonderful coat of ermine, and, if there was a suggestion of artificality about her looks, the artifice was skilful enough to be attractive. The girl was beautiful, too, but very young. They had most certainly looked at him as he had stood aside to let them pass. He hesitated for a moment, abandoned the idea of moving on to the Salon Privé and returned to the Club. , They were watching one of the roulette tables when he entered the room, recognized by several habitués, obviously people of conse- quence. Kornstamm had been unfortunate so far in his attempt at adventures. A young American married lady, temporarily separ- ated from her husband, who had seemed to him promising, he had found the next evening among the professional dancers at a night restaurant. A little milliner at Cannes, whom he had even taken out to dine, had proved a still greater disappointment. These women, however, without a doubt, were of a different class. They knew who he was. They had betrayed their interest. If only they would sit down and play he would maneuver for a seat near. Unfortunately, however, they seemed to have too many acquaintances, A gleam of hope came to him at last. Eric Brownleys had stopped to speak to them and he remembered with interest that the English- man, during the last two days, had been almost civil to him. It was a slim chance perhaps, but he made the most of it. When Eric left his friends he took care to catch his eye. The recognition afforded to him was almost normal. He took his courage into his hands and spoke. “More amusing than Cannes, Mr. Brown- leys,”’ he remarked. Eric nodded. “I’m rather glad that show’s over,” he observed. “Are you off back again this week?” y “On Saturday,” the other’ answered, ‘Would you care for a cocktail?” For a single moment Eric hesitated. He even wondered whether the price he was paying was not exorbitant. A moment later he pushed the thought away from him. “Thanks very much,” he said. “I'll have a whisky and soda, if you don’t mind.” They made their way to the bar and exchanged polite inanities until _ the diplomat from the East found the courage for which he sought. “Tf one might be permitted to say so,” he mumbled, “I admire very greatly the ladies with whom you were speaking in the roulette room.” Eric choked back his instinctive desire to kick his companion, and nodded with affected carelessness. ““A very charming woman, Madame de Soyau,” he observed. “Her niece, too, is very attractive.” ““Madame quired. ‘“‘American, I believe. She married a Frenchman. She is, by the way, rather interested in your country. Would you care to be presented?” “It would afford me the greatest happi- ness,” Kornstamm assented with enthusiasm. The introduction was effected within the next few minutes. Madame was gracious, although her attitude sometimes was inclined to be cryptic. Kornstamm, however, when the time for his dismissal had arrived, was exultant. He was invited to the villa on the following afternoon, for the purpose of ex- plaining to Madame the new map of Eastern Europe. is French?” Kornstamm in- ONS E more, with the passing of midday, the mistral came sobbing and booming down from the hills. The sky was suddenly overcast, the olive trees bent their hea showing the silver of their leaves, the fields of young wheat were like waves of the sea, even the sturdy vines shook, and the petals from the stripped blossoms of the fruit trees floated down to sink into sad little heaps in the sheltered places. Sky and sea were alike gray. The loungers at the little cafés found their way inside. Only the workers in the fields pursued their tasks unmoved—a glance at the hills, a shrug of the shoulders, then back to the work which must be done. Even Korn- stamm, as the car which had been sent to fetch him at the station climbed the last ascent and neared the villa, was conscious a chill sense of depression. It was 4 sul palace, this flower-hung building with its solitary tower in the background, the remains of the old chiteau; but with the wind strip ping the petals from the flowers and these gray skies, there was something sinister about its air of seclusion. however, everything was different.

116 HARPER’S BAZAR A STUDY OF MISS HELEN GOULD Miss Gould is wearing a new ensemble by Henri Bendel es pecially designed in GERA MILLS’ “PATOU’S SUEDE” This slender tunic frock worn with its fur-trimmed, three-quarters coat—which flares slightly from the hip down—is the smart thing for town wear in spring. The blouse is of flat crépe. The coat and skirt are of “ Patou’s Suede,” a thin adaptable woolen that suggests a light-weight duvetyn. The colour is a natural that is a cross between pearl-grey and soft beige. This fabric is named for Patou, because, when that great designer recently visited America, he chose this Gera fabric, in four colours, to carry back to France.

The long pleated blouse is of beige flat crépe. The coat is beige and black Lashera. Although beige Lashera was chosen for this costume, Lashera, because of its smooth supple weave, takes dye beautifully and may be had in any of the spring colours —naturals, corals, blues (with an especially lovely pervenche shade), and some thirty others.

Evidently American women do want quality and are asking very specifically for Belding’s Silks because of their reliability. They are tired of dress silks which look well on the counter but crack and split and go to pieces at the cleaner’s, tired of lingerie silks in fascinating shades that dim in the first washing. Silks heavily weighted with tin cost less to make but cannot be guaranteed to clean, and should not be purchased by any woman who expects satisfactory wear. Belding’s preserve the sturdy strength of the original silk with all its wonderful elasticity, its surprising endurance. Beld- ing’s Silks clean perfectly as often as you like, the light shades may be washed, and all of them will wear beyond your most hopeful expectations. 10,000 good stores all over the country sell Belding’s Silks.

In the main we are succeeding.” Madame sank a little lower cushions. “Tell me about it into her ” she ordered WHEN his voice died away, after almost half-an-hour’s monologue, it seemed at first as if Madame slept, though her eyes were wide open. She moved a little restlessly in her place. “You are eloquent, Mr. Kornstamm,” she said. “T have a great cause behind me,” he answered “T have heard you without interruption,” she continued. ‘You have represented your side of the matter well. I must confess that I should like to hear one of your peasants speak.” ; “For that, Madame, I fear that you must come to my own country.” She shrugged her shoulders. “Tt would be worth while,” she mused, “if one believed—but never mind that. I have a fancy to show you some parts of this villa. You would like to look over it?” “Without a doubt, Madame,” he assented. She rose and led him from the room. She showed him briefly the little winter garden, the dining-room, her boudoir. Then she led him along a flagged way to the tower, the sole remnant of the old chateau. The lower room was furnished only with a few benches. It had the chill air of a dungeon. Madame shivered. “Mount but one flight,” she invited, pointing to a ladder staircase. “You will find there a surprise for you.” “Madame will not accompany me?” he asked politely. “You will find another guide there,” she replied. Kornstamm, a little intrigued, climbed the ladder. It was perhaps Mademoiselle he would find. But when he got to the top, it was a man whom he found waiting for him—a man of not wholly prepossessing appearance. Cardinge, who had been writing at a table, looked up at the sound of the voices. He watched Kornstamm’s head and shoulders appear. Then he rose to his feet. The visitor stepped out into the room. He looked about him with a little courteous shiver. The place without doubt had a sinister appearance. “Madame has indicated that you will be my guide, sir,” he announced with a bow. “I frankly confess, however, that I have no desire for further exploration. The villa itself is charming, but there appears, if I may say so, to be something a little crude about this ruin. It reminds me,” he added, looking round— ‘well, I will not say of what.” Madame’s head and shoulders appeared at the top of the stairway. Cardinge stepped forward and assisted her. She came into the room shaking the dust from her gown. “I had hoped, Mr. Kornstamm,” she said, “that it might have reminded you of a little room in the prison of St. Joseph at Minkt.” Kornstamm stood for a moment as still as though turned to stone. “T do not understand,” he muttered. “Very soon,” Madame replied, “all will be made clear to you. It was my wish to repro- duce as far as possible the interior of that prison as it has been revealed to me. Hugh, read Mr. Kornstamm the letter I” have en- trusted to you.”’ “‘A letter!” Kornstamm exclaimed. ARDINGE drew a sheet of paper from his pocket. It was not a sheet of ordinary writing-paper. It more closely resembled one side of a large sugar bag, coarse and crumpled in places. “Tt is your wish that I read this, Madame?” he inquired. * At once.” “But I do not understand,” Kornstamm began— “At once,” Madame reiterated, and there was a new note in her voice. He protested no _ further. smoothed out the letter and read— Cardinge Madame: The fates have played me a strange trick. After four years of torture here, during which I have never once seen an English or French newspaper, there came into my hands to-day a copy of the Times. I have read your sum- mons. Nothing in the world would give me such great joy as to respond to it. But behold me here—an unclean, half-starved thing, unmurdered, because my poor carcass seems unworthy of the bullet which would mercifully end my sufferings. I have dragged out these days without decency, without hope, side by side always with the dreadful harbingers of death. Yet the breath lingers in my body. do not know why. I only know that I resent it. Yesterday « newcomer here, a warder, took pity upon me. He threw in the news. paper left by a traveler in the town hotel. He has promised to post this letter. Well, even if he does, I fear that I have little to hope for. Yet you, Madame, most lovable though most terrible of mistresses, had one amazing trait You would take the life yourself of a faithless friend or servant and kick his body into the dust, but those of your Virgins who served you faithfully, you allowed no one to touch, I have known you risk life, fortune, and free. dom on behalf of the least worthy of us. I die here, Madame, for no sin save that I am an aristocrat of my country and have-fought as a man should for his family and his order But enough of that. I call to you for help, Madame, and may it come before another winter, or my blood will have frozen and my bones snapped. And, if no help is possible, then, Madame, accept this excuse that I may not answer your summons, and with it, my farewell. Paul of Smolatensk, CARDINGE folded up the letter quietly and remained with his eyes fixed upon Madame. Kornstamm looked from one to the other and back to the staircase over which the trap-door had fallen. Surely it could not be possible that he had blundered through this land of roses into tragedy. He seemed a changed man as he stood there. His air of trim and curled perfection had left him. Even his mustache drooped. He was a small man, with a mean-looking mouth, who was con- fronted with unexpected danger. “T do not understand,” he protested, “why this letter has been read to me.” “T should have ‘explained,’ Madame said smoothly. ‘‘The letter is from an old friend of mine—Prince Paul of Smolatensk. You will remember him as the commander of an army and a very gallant general. His death was reported some four years ago.” “One is inclined to regret the inaccuracy of the report,” Kornstamm snarled. “Death is sometimes merciful,” Madame replied. ‘‘ Paul lives, it appears, in misery and torture.” “On my return, Madame,” Kornstamm promised, “I will inquire into the conditions of this man’s imprisonment, if indeed the letter is genuine. I will see if anything can be done to alleviate his discomforts.” Madame and Cardinge had changed places. The latter now was guarding the trap-door. Madame had taken the chair from which he had risen. Her head drooped a little back- wards. She smiled. “Ts that all you can promise?” she asked. “T do not know,” Kornstamm rejoined. “T might inquire when I return into the circumstances of his detention. It is possible that a certain measure of freedom might be arranged.” “When you return?” Madame repeated softly. “So I have said.” “But,” she pointed out, “you will not be returning just yet.” “T have taken my place in the train to Ber- lin on Sunday,” Kornstamm announced. Madame shook her head. “That,” she told him, “was premature. The day that Prince Paul of Smolatensk is free and not before.” He laughed contemptuously, though un easily. “T defy you to keep me,” he said. “Tama subject of a friendly country and an official personage.” “And I,” Madame retorted, “am myself and I do as I choose.” 3 There was a tense: moment of silence. Then Kornstamm shook himself, and st against his gathering forebodings. “This is absurd,” he insisted. “You ~ not keep me here against my will.

(Concluded from page 120) “A telegram to the governor of the prison at Minkt,” Madame replied, “ordering him to release Prince Paul and advance him the funds for his journey here.” “Thank you,” Kornstamm sneered. “I only wanted to know.” Madame rose and walked toward the trap- door. Kornstamm made a rush for it, but Cardinge’s hand was upon his throat. He swung him round and felt him all over. “No weapons,” he announced. “I don’t suppose you'd have the pluck to use a pistol, though, if you had it.” Kornstamm used an ugly word, and Car- dinge sent him scowling across the room, dizzy with a blow on the side of his face. “Bread and water at ten,’”’ Madame de- clared, looking backwards. ‘‘Make as much noise as you like. The servants are expecting “You'll pay for this,’”” Kornstamm shouted after them, as he heard the bolt drawn in the trap-door. . AGNES and the hillside was itself again one afternoon about three weeks later when a car from Nice turned in at the avenue. The sunlight glowed and burned in the heart of the olive trees and in the bosom of the hills. The little vines flourished with the glory of it. The blue waters of the Mediterranean glittered with a million pin-pricks of fire. The great piazza was more overhung than ever with the drooping pink and white blossoms. Madame, standing on the topmost step in her cool white gown—Madame watching the slim figure who leaned back in a corner of the touring car— seemed suddenly to have borrowed youth and joy from their sun-drawn sweetness. Per- haps her eyes looked back for a moment into the world which lay behind; the world which the pulses of youth made beautiful; the world where romance flourished as bountifully as the roses that hung on every side of her. For Madame grew younger with the pity which shone in her eyes, as the car drew up, and its solitary occupant, tall still, but bent, the specter of a gray, handsome man, stepped out and came toward her with nervous footsteps. He seemed even to welcome the support of her hand. “Madame,” he murmured, “I have obeyed. But how the miracle was worked for me, I do not know. I have a fancy that you could tell ie. “Presently, Paul,” she promised, leading him to a chair. “You have had a long journey.” The servants came out, the car was dis- missed. Wine and fruit were spread upon the table. The voice of the traveler grew stronger. Madame became herself again—a little stony, a vital force working from behind a mask. ““You remember Cardinge?” she asked, as Hugh came out at her summons. The two men shook hands. Smolatensk passed his fingers over his forehead a little wearily. “‘T remember,” he acknowledged, “‘but the effort of memory pains. Soon it will be better. I have had a long journey—Budapest, Trieste, Venice, Genoa—yet every breath of air from the carriage was glorious. Now I must know the riddle of it all, Madame. I never believed that they would let me go.” Madame smiled. “A little comedy,” she told him. “The tragedy was at your end. We, perhaps, have had the amusement; you, the suffering. Come!” They took him through the villa to the tower, up the stairs, through thé trap-door. He found himself in a perfectly bare room with whitewashed walls and windows too high to let in more than a slit of light. The only article of furniture in the room was a single hard chair and upon this, with folded arms, a small man was seated—a small, unshaven man from whom the conceit had gone, whose mouth was drooping, and whose eyes were . like the eyes of vermin. He was a very unpleasant looking spectacle. “Here,” Madame announced, “is your HARPER’S BAZAR MADAME SEEKS A PRINCE E. Phillips Oppenheim’s Story unwilling liberator. He is noi looking object, is he?

His name is Nicholas Kornstamm,. He was second envoy and representative of your nation at the recent conference here He a. also a —— there which, I under. stand, is practically equivalent Chief Justice.” " a “You kidnapped him?” Smolatensk gasped. “Why not?” Madame demanded. “One must have one’s amusement. I had Car. dinge here, too. He stayed on purpose to help. Kornstamm,” she went on, “this is Prince Paul of Smolatensk. Stand up and bow to your superior.” Kornstamm rose to his feet. Twice he tried to speak and choked back the words, He feared Cardinge no more than a coward fears any other man, but the sound even of Madame’s voice filled him with terror, “T have kept my word,” he faltered. Madame smiled. “And you are free,” she rejoined. “Mr. Cardinge will give you your coat and waist- coat and the car which brought the Prince here is waiting to take you to Nice.” “To Nice,” he muttered, already on his way to the staircase. They all three descended, Kornstamm a little unsteadily. Cardinge took him to his own room, restored him his coat and waist- coat, escorted him ovt to the piazza, and gave him some wine. He drank eagerly and held out his glass for more. “Better go steady at first,” Cardinge ad- vised him. ‘You've got heaps of money ia your pocketbook, I noticed. I should recom- mend you to spend an hour at the coiffeur’s in Nice. The train through to Italy goes at three o’clock.” “How do you know,” Kornstamm de manded, “‘that it is not to the police I shall 0?” Cardinge laughed scornfully. “What Chief of Police in France,” he asked, “‘would listen to your story? What Frenchman is there who would not throw up his hat with joy to think that one of you self-appointed plutocrats had been forced to taste for a little time some of the degradation you have brought upon others? Why, Prince Paul is one of France’s heroes! Upon my word, if you promise to go to the Chief of Police, I almost think I must come in to Nice with you!” “My Government at least will have some- thing to say about this,” Kornstamm threat- ened. “Perhaps. But what Government will they find to listen to them?” Cardinge plied contemptuously. CLAIRE came out upon the piazza just as the car drove off. She waved her to the scowling figure. a “You might have let me in for the finish, she complained. Cardinge shrugged his shoulders. “One can never tell with this breed of person,” he observed. ‘There might have been trouble.” “And the Prince?” she asked breathlessly. “Madame is showing him the sou gardens. I left them in the rose arbor. | Prince is drinking in the sunshine as a thirsty man drinks wine, and Madame has forgottet all about her complexion.” A voice came from the garden below, little raised for Madame, yet with so of its old quality of music. “Claire, send Denise with my parasol at once. j s (The last of this series of stories will appear ® the April issue) : “The Savage,” by Josephine Daskam Bacon, is an amusing story of the differences between the French point of view and our own.

No matter how carefully one may nourish and tone the skin from without, if the blood is poisoned by too many sweets, if the system is clogged with an accumulation of wastes, the skin can never be at its best. Begin the wise care of your skin by developing a state of ting- ling good health. Ten or fifteen minutes of exercise every day may accomplish just as much good as hours of athletic sports. But your exercises should be chosen for their corrective value. Elizabeth Arden can show you how to bend and twist with definite purpose so as to round out your fig- ure ortolose pounds of flesh in a few weeks. Elizabeth Arden has developed a series of corrective exercises especial- ly for women. Few women are really interested in de- veloping military carriage or in doing exercises for some ab- stract benefit. But every woman in interested in developing or preserving a youthful, slim fig- ure. Every woman who wears evening frocks wants aflat, boyish back and a firm, grace- ful arm. Every woman wants to have her gowns fit her in the slender tube-silhouette of the present day fashion. Begin today to mould your body in lovely lines and con- tours. A course of Exercise at Elizabeth Arden’s Salon will quite transform your appear- ance.

Says ELIZABETH ARDEN: “In winter be fresh skinned and lovely as a flower -N winter, when all of Nature is so bold and virulent, the woman is most charm- ing who appears, in contrast, exquisite and delicate as a spring flower. To gruff winds, turn a face always smooth and soft. Against dark enveloping furs, have your skin fresh, shell-pink. In winter, to be lovely, you must be impeccably groomed, smooth, petal- like, soignée. A course of scientific Treatments at the Arden Salon will refresh and tone your skin wonderfully during the busy blustery weeks of winter. Supplemented by correct faithful care of the skin at home, the wonderful Treatments will soon create for you a skin exquisitely fine od ny elastic in quality, soft in texture and fair in tone. And your contour will grow smooth and firm as a girl's, for the skillful patting, lifting and moulding of the facial tissues, according to Elizabeth Arden’s exclusive method, will tone and strengthen the muscles, and counteract every tendency to sagging and flabbiness. Let Elizabeth Arden guide you also in the correct care of your skin at home, so that your little “Self Treatment,” each morn- ing and night, will accomplish gratifying results for you. After a course of Elizabeth Arden Treat- ments in the Salon—to put your skin in per- fect condition—ask for a Demonstration Treatment, which will teach you how to continue the correct method before your own mirror. Or, if you are far away, write describing the characteristics and faults of your skin; Elizabeth Arden will outline a complete course of home treatments suited to your individual requirements.

I am sure that this is true. For there are many scents as delight- ful as new-mown hay: there is as- phalt, heavenly smoky asphalt; there is tar, and tar is not so bad when you are used to it. Cotton goods, such as sheeting and case ment cloth, smell abominable; but among textiles give me very old Persian carpets. Still, the best of all is earth. When William the Conqueror fell on his face as he landed on the Eng- lish coast, he must have received a were greeting. Idonotcare what ¢ fell on; it may have been shingle, strongly scented by dead seaweed and dried salt; or rather dry close sand; but best of all would have been good grass-grown earth. All earth smells delicious, heavy smoky clay, deep-dug ploughed land which has a cold smell where mingles the aroma of the mushroom with sun- warmed grass. And there are other things that ople do not know. They do not cnow them even when they live in the country, perhaps particularly, since it is well-known that country ople take little interest in Nature. it is the town people who write poetry or fall in love as they lean across a stile. I am not laughing at them, for indeed I deplore the al- most complete divorce that exists between the land and the women of the city. Women nowadays seem to achieve no contact with the land; the country does not matter. You will say that I am talking nonsense, that never were country holidays so long, never the week- endsomuch practised. Whataretort! The average week-end lasts thirty- six hours, of which four are spent in the train, eight in bed, six at meals, six in changing one’s clothes, four in dancing; this leaves eight hours ' for the soil—but you must deduct * bridge. What is left, say six hours, goes to golf, tennis, or such remote connections with the good green earth. In other words, fail to see why people go away for the week- end when they might more cheaply spend their time in Hyde or Central Park. There is so much pleasure in the earth itself, that those who do not know it are foregoing the nat- ural joys which are, it seems to me, the most effective tonic for the town-weary. wi eel NEW YORK 673 FIFTH AVENUE PARIS: 2 rue de la Paix DETROIT: 318 Book Building i if if

ULL teeth, dingy teeth, teeth that lack gleam and lustre—modern science has discovered a new way to correct them. In a short time you can work a transformation. In ten days you can have whiter, more gleaming teeth than you ever thought you could have. This offers you free a 10-day test. Simply use the coupon. Why teeth lose color, how com- bating the film works wonders—note results in 10 days Look at your teeth. If dull, cloudy, run your tongue across them. You will feel a film. That’s the cause of the trouble. You must combat it. Film is that viscous coat that you feel. It clings to teeth, gets into crevices and stays. It hides the natural luster of your teeth. It also holds food substance which ferments and causes acid. In contact with teeth, this acid invites decay. Millions of germs breed in it. And they, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. So dull and dingy teeth mean more than loss of good appearance. They may indicate danger, grave danger to your teeth. New methods now that mean greater tooth beauty plus better protection from tooth troubles Ordinary tooth pastes were unable to cope adequately with that film. Not one could effectively combat it. Harsh grit tended to injure the enamel. Soap and chalk were inadequate. Now modern dental science has found two new combatants. Their action is to curdle film and then harmlessly remove it. They are embodied in a new type tooth paste called Pepsodent—a scien- tific method that is changing the tooth cleansing habits of some 50 different nations. To millions this new way has proved the folly of having dull and dingy teeth. The folly of inviting tooth troubles when their chief cause can be combated. Don’t you think it worth while to try it for 10 days; then to note results yourself? Make the test Remember, every time you eat, food clings to your teeth. Film is constantly forming. The film that ruins teeth; that mars their luster, makes them look dingy and dull. This new way will combat it—will give the lustrous teeth you envy. It will polish your teeth; give them a new beauty that will delight you. Make the test today. Clip the coupon for a free 10-day tube. Why follow old methods when world’s dental authorities urge a better way? Protect the enamel Pepsodent disintegrates the film, then removes it with an agent far softer than enamel. Never use a film combatant which contains harsh grit. Mail Coupon for 10-Day Tube to Send to: Dept. 612, 1104 S.

It has to be told that the cry of the owl on the fountain served three purposes, which are best arranged in ascending degrees of abomi- nation: it struck such terror into the vitals of an inoffensive young gentleman of the name of Dunn that he has never been the same man since: it was the death-knell of a gentle and beautiful lady; and the herald of approaching doom to a lord. May they rest in peace. N THE dining-room of a great house in Carlton House Terrace three persons sat at meat. They made, against the spacious simplicities of great wealth and good taste, an austere picture in black and white; for the lady was of the good sense not to be seduced by the barbaric colors in vogue from the wearing of black, that lends always a rare gravity and sweetness to the wearer who has a figure, and can do no harm to one who has not; while the gentlemen were appointed according to the fashion for gentlemen’s evening wear. Reading from left to right, they were my lord the Marquis of Vest, his delightful lady, and Mr. Dunn, private secretary to my ord. They made a silent company. Lord Vest was never of a very talkative habit; my lady was always very gentle, and did her best to please him on all occasions; while Mr. Dunn’s duties did not embrace speaking unless he was spoken to. Eight candles in tall candlesticks of ancient silver played with kisses of light upon the polished surface of the wide table; and in the calm air of the summer evening the flames of the candles were so still that a fanciful eye might have charged them with the beauty of flowers of twilight. Young Mr. Dunn’s was a fanciful eye, but to him they appeared to be as poppies of the night; for the poppy is an evil flower. The curtains were not drawn across the windows, that Lord Vest might lose nothing of the sweet evening air, which he always held to be good for him until it gave him a cold in the head. Over his employer’s shoulder, Mr. Dunn could see the lights of the Mall glowing against the dark tapestry of St. James’s Park. To the left, twilight draped the Horse Guards and the great buildings of Government, whence, had Mr. Dunn only known, the owls were at that moment fleeing on their ominous business. To the right, night fought with day for the honor of shrouding the palace of the King of England, who is also Emperor of India and Protector of the Faith, which some people nowadays seem inclined to forget; the while great automobiles would be passing to and fro between the noble trees that delight those who have the leisure to walk about the pleasance of the Mall. R. DUNN would have found it, at that moment, very agreeable to be walking about the pleasance of the Mall.. Mr. Dunn would, in point of fact, have parted with money to exchange places with the meanest walker in London; for the situation of private secretary to a lord is not always what the well- informed call a sinecure. Mr. Dunn was just thinking how nice it would be to have a sine- cure, whatever it might be, when the second butler winked at him. The second butler thought the whole affair very funny, and the silence very funny indeed. The second butler thought he knew everything. Mr. Dunn made a mental note to the effect that he must not forget immediately after dinner to tell the second butler that he was an ass. That is if he, Mr. Dunn, was alive. Now as for Lord Vest, so much has been written of the early beginnings of that power- ful and ill-fated nobleman that it would be impertinent, at this hour, to give more than a broad outline of the same. Mr. Justinian Pant was an Australian gentleman of great fortune who had in the past decade been raised to a baronetcy (Sir Justinian Pant, Bart.), a barony (Lord Pant of Warboys, in the county of Huntingdonshire), a viscounty (Viscount Pant of Warboys), an earldom (the Earl of Cowden, in the county of Sussex) and a marquisate (the Marquis of Vest, in the county of Cornwall) for services to the State. The bulletin announcing his last ennoblement had been welcomed by all England with every appearance of pleasure and gratification: that is, if one can judge by the newspapers of the day: as, of course, one can. The mere fact that the barony of Warboys, the earldom of Cowden, and the marquisate of Vest were welcomed far otherwise by the newspapers of Australia gave the envious grounds for saying that the newspapers of England were prej- udiced in the great man’s favor for the reason that he owned most of them: which is tanta- mount to saying that the glorious press of England is not free, an insinuation that one cannot deign to answer but with a dignified silence. Of the early activities in Australia of Justinian Pant little of a definite nature is known. The Australian papers, at the time of Mr. Pant’s first elevation to the pee were rife with information on the subject. but the voice of envy is ever loud; and one. an Adelaide society journal, was so far lacking in the respect due to the mother country as to belittle the English peerage by saying that the lord in question would no doubt make a very good lord, as lords go, but only so long as he did not go back to Australia, where there was a warrant out for his arrest on a charge of petty larceny wihle employed as a bell-boy in a first-class fam'ly hotel in Melbourne. The tale of this man’s venture on London may entertain the curious and inspire the ambitious, for it tells how one evening fifteen years ago Justinian Pant stood in Piccadilly Circus, wondering what he would do next, Starvation was indicated, for in his pocket there was only one penny. And he was about to send up a prayer to God for guidance when he was distracted by falling into conversation with an old native of the Circus, from whom he was amazed to learn that the old man had expected his coming and had been awaiting him for some time with impatience. Me: PANT was not yet a master of men and could therefore afford to show sur- prise, which he did after the colonial m by swearing through his nose and whis ing between his teeth. Whereupon the ancient man confessed to being a soothsayer and told how it had been revealed to him in a dream that a young man with a face similar in every detail to the face of Mr. Pant, which was of a somewhat unusual shape, would one night come into Piccadilly Circus from Australia and give him, the soothsayer, the sum of one pound in cash, and how from that moment the Austra- lian would rise with remarkable velocity to be the greatest force in England. Justinian Pant was not unwilling to be a Force, and asked eagerly for more precise information as to the steps to be taken: adding that he had only one penny on him, but would be pleased to owe the old gentleman the small sum of nineteen shillings and eleven pence. “Buy an evening paper and look at the advertisements,”’ said the ancient man, for he earned his living by the sale of evening papers. And whilst the Australian reluctantly ex- changed his last penny for an evening paper, the old soothsayer spat into the gutter and said harshly: ‘Justinian Pant, you will be a Force. You will be a Napoleon. You will be a lord. You will make wars, unmake Parliaments, shuffle Cabinets and re-shuffle Cabinets. You will be the first person in the world to discover how to make the maximum amount of money out of the execution of a murderer. You will give away your dearest friends on all occasions of possible profit, while standing by them through thick and thin when nothing is to be gained by standing anywhere else. You will be as a thorn in the sides of upright men, and as a bastinado upon the soles of those who are down. You will be successful in all things; and honors shall shower upon you like gold on a commercial traveler selling beer by the yard. You will marry a lady of quality, and be an honorary member of the most exclusive night- clubs. You will love your wife, after your fashion. You will be jealous of her, after your fashion. And you will forget to pay me the sum of nineteen shillings and eleven pence which you owe me. j “For that reason, as also because all things must have an end, whether it is the might of empires or the beneficial effects of Y fe Justinian Pant, as the first — of your high destiny comes to you in Pic Circus, so the first knell of your awful doom will be cried by a bird of wise omen that perch on the left wing of the Eros on the fountain over yonder. So it is written. 1 have spoken.” And the ancient man dis- appeared among the crowds by the Under- ground Station, leaving Justinian Pant to et at a copy of the evening paper of the before last. Nor did the contents of the days _~ followed put an end to his astonishment; lor as it was wale, so it tage even to lady of quality for a wife, whom ok. pve his fashion.

HARPER’S BAZAR |THE OWL ON THE FOUNTAIN Michael Arlen’s Story (Continued from page 126) table, and spoke for the first time since she had sat down. “T will leave you,” said she, “to your coffee.” “You will stay,” said my lord, “exactly where you are.” And he smiled in an un- pleasant way all his own which showed his false teeth, and at sight of which the menials at once left the room. Another long and heavy silence fell, so that Mr. Dunn cursed the day he was born. Outside, night had at last stolen the darkness from twilight. “T am to gather,” said Lord Vest, with a smile, to his wife, ‘that this Dunn person is your lover?” The young private secretary put down his unpeeled nut. He was afraid, but was he not a gentleman? Mr. Dunn was a cadet of a noble but impoverished house: nor was it in vain that he had spent nine years at Eton and Oxford to no other end than to know the difference between a cad and a gentleman. ~ “Look here, sir,” said Mr. Dunn, “that’s a bit much. I mean, it’s going too far. I'll stand a good deal and all that, but I will not stand for a lady being insulted before my face. You will receive my resignation in the morn- ing, Lord Vest. In the meanwhile, I’m off.” Mr. Dunn was undeniably furious. The Napoleon of the Press was not, however, without a sense of humor: so, at least, his papers would now and then confess rather shyly, hinting that the boyish laughter of Lord Vest must come as a solace to God for the press of His business elsewhere that com- pelled Him to give Lord Vest the vice-royalty of this earth. He laughed now. He laughed alone. “Gently, Mr. Dunn, gently!” he laughed, and his voice was of a courteous balance sur- prising in one of his rugged appearance: nor had he any trace of that accent which by ordinary adorns the speech of our Australian cousins. “‘That you will be leaving my employment more or less at once,” he con- tinued playfully, “is, I am afraid, self-evident. And that you will find any other employment in England in the course of, I hope, a long life, is exceedingly improbable, for I shall make it my business, Mr. Dunn, to have you hounded out of the country: and I have, I need scarcely remind you, more experience of hounding people out of countries than perhaps any other man in England. But I do not think, Mr. Dunn, that I can allow you to leave this house for another half-an-hour or so. For I have something to say to you.” And Lord Vest smiled at Mr. Dunn. He was a much bigger man than Mr. Dunn, and he was between Mr. Dunn and the door. T WAS at that moment that my lady raised her voice. She wore always a sad, brave dignity, always she was a quiet lady; but in her voice now, as her eyes rested very calmly on the sneering face of her husband, the very landscape of England might have been quivering. She did not conceal from his lordship that the reason for this quivering was a profound distaste. “‘T did not think,” said she, “that any man could say so base a thing on such flimsy provo- cation. The fact that in spite of your childish prejudice against dancing, which I sincerely hope is not shared by all the natives of Australia, Mr. Dunn has been kind enough to dance with me—” “You call that dancing?” smiled my lord. “Oh, do you! I may seem very uncivilized, Pamela, but to me it seemed more like making love. Am I right, Mr. Dunn?” “You are not,” said Mr. Dunn with a dignity which would have surprised his mother. “‘Any man who sneers as you are sneering at the moment, Lord Vest, must be in the wrong about everything. You cannot be in the right, sir, with a poisonous voice like that. I am Lady Vest’s very humble admirer and, I hope, friend—” “Friendship, Mr. Dunn, can wear strange shapes. Friendship, my dear Mr. Dunn, can be the outward label of infidelity. Am I right, Pamela?” “Mr. Dunn,” said my lady with flushed cheeks, “you will be doing me a very great favor by overlooking my husband’s behaviour this evening. Justinian,” she turned to her husband with a high look, “I knew I was married to a megalomaniac. But I did not realize I was married to a madman. I insist on retiring now; and would advise Mr. Dunn to do the same ” “And I,” shouted Lord Vest, “‘insist on your staying where you are; arid would advise Mr. Dunn to do the same. Do you under- stand? And you, my good young man?” Mr. Dunn could not help but pretend to understand, while awaiting developments. He was dismayed by the violence of dislike on the nobleman’s detestable face as he turned it to his wife, the gentle lady, a picture of out- raged innocence, of appalled decorum, her great blue eyes swept with astonished distaste, her sweet sad face white with sudden fear. For my Lord Vest was not smiling now. Mr. Dunn revealed at the inquiry which later sat on these affairs that it w. moment he first realized that his lbedship ae mad. But his madness, said Mr. Dunn, wo so sane, so coherent a habit, that a an couldn’t but mistrust his fleeting, if haw grounded, suspicion; and even in the very second of his dashing frantically Past Lon Vest to the door, which the second butler, being conveniently situated nearby in a curved position, held closed for him on the outside while he made his escape from the house ‘ou couldn’t be certain, said Mr. Dunn winiies the nobleman’s roar of baffled rage was not more that of one cheated of the entertainment of a repulsive jest than that of a chap morti- fied to the point of lunacy. For his employer said Mr. Dunn warmly, was ever a gen : with a partiality for making jests of a kind which, Mr. Dunn indignantly supposed might be considered laughter-provoking on the Australian veldt, bush, or prairie, but was certainly not the thing in England. The plain truth of the matter is,-as you can see when shorn of Mr. Dunn’s naive observa. tions, that Mr. Dunn turned tail and fled. In the graphic words of Lord Tarlyon, who was among the Commission of Peers who sat to inquire into the Vest affair, Mr. Dunn, await- ing his opportunity with an eagerness worthy of a braver purpose, jumped up from his chair like a scalded cat and, muttering some- thing about a dog, ran out of that house likea bat out of hell. H«= WAS, however, no sooner out of the house, the lofty stone hall of which had always impressed Mr. Dunn’s fanciful eye as being like a “‘ holocaust ”—by which he meant “mausoleum,” for Mr. Dunn had received the education proper to an English gentleman, and a chap can’t know everything—when he was sensible of a peculiar, unhomely feeling within his person; which he was not long in recogniz- ing as the prickings of his conscience, a dis- order by which he was seldom assailed, for Mr. Dunn was a good young man. His thoughts, never profound but frequently vivid, quickly passed beyond his control. He thought of the lady on whom he had brought such cruel discomfiture. He saw her again as she sat at the table, her great blue eyes swept with astonished distaste, her sweet, sad face white with sudden fear, whilst her hus- band sneered at her exquisite breeding as though all the seven devils were dancing on his poisoned, antipodean tongue. “And all, dear God,” frantically thought Mr. Dunn, “about absolutely nothing!” For let us at once state frankly, and once and for all, that there was absolutely nothing between Mr. Dunn and Lady Vest. Mr. Dunn was a man of honor. While the Lady Vest was a lady of noble birth and fastidious habits, to whom the idea of the smallest infidelity must necessarily be repellent to a degree far beyond the soiled understanding of those society novelists who write sensation- ally about the state of inconstancy prevalent among people of condition. Among her high-minded habits, however, Lady Vest had always included, until her marriage: to Lord Vest, the inoffensive dis- traction of dancing, at which she was notably graceful. But Lord Vest had revealed, on the very night of his marriage, the fact that he could not dance; had excused his disgusting reticence on. that point until it was too late for her to change her mind, on the gro his love for her; which was so great, he had protested, that he did not know what he would do should he ever discover her dancing with any man; adding that in the frenzy of such 4 discovery he would not care to take long odds against the probability of his strangling her; so dark were the obsessions that clouded the Australian nobleman’s mind. Until the recent engagement of Mr. Dunn as his lordship’s private secretary, Lady bw had not so much as wavered from the letter her promise to her husband, that she wo dance nevermore. But chancing one after- noon on Mr. Dunn in the neighborh Bond Street, and Mr. Dunn happening to say that he was partial to dancing, Lady Vest had, as though in a flash, realized the nad tyranny of her husband’s prohibition, ani acceded to Mr. Dunn’s request that of should take a turn with him round the floor the Embassy Night Club; which is, of course, open in the afternoons for the a those who care for a little dancing with am cup of tea.

De Bevoise ~ Grand Couturier in Foundation Garments For twenty years DeBevoise has anticipated both the basic modes and lighter whimsies of Eshion success- fully. Each year DeBevoise has had to meet increas- ing sales demands and has gradually broadened in scope: brassieres, corsettes; bandeaux, bandettes, gir- dles, and—for those who wish more slender lines — DeBevoise Reducing Garments of Secretex? In all this process of expansion it has adhered to its policy of reasonable prices. For 1925 DeBevoise anticipates increasing emphasis on the correct foundation, and has designed its gar- ments, in collaboration with leading fashion authori- ties here and abroad, to give smart, straight lines with flexibility and comfort. *Registered Trade Marks CHAS.

For, to their indignant amazement, Lord Vest had informed them just before dinner on the night we tell of that he had for some time past been having my lady watched by detec- tives; that he was fully informed of their goings-on; and was now awaiting dinner with some impatience, for after dinner he was prepared, he said, to be very interested to hear what steps they, his lady and Mr. Dunn, were going to take about it. Mr. Dunn had at once decided that he, for his part, would prefer to take steps of a purely material nature, and those in a direction opposite from any that Lord Vest might be treading at that moment. Nor was he in any way weakened in his deci- sion when Lord Vest, whilst pressing on Mr. Dunn a second cocktail—so that, said my lord, Mr. Dunn should have no excuse for not enjoying a dinner that promised to be very entertaining in the way of table-talk, in which Mr. Dunn as a rule excelled—related how he had that afternoon suborned the saxophone player in the orchestra of the Embassy Night Club into allowing him, his lordship, to take the man’s place; and there- fore had had, whilst emitting to the best of his ability those screams and noises that are expected of a saxophone player, an unrivaled opportunity of judging whether his lady and Mr. Dunn were proficient in those offensive irregularities of the legs, hips, and teeth which, said my lord crudely, were dignified with the name of dancing. R. DUNN had then sworn at his luck, which never had been but rotten; for on this afternoon of all he had taken the liberty to introduce Lady Vest to certain movements recently imported from the Americas; and he had no doubt but that the instruction of those quite delightful and original movements might have appeared, to one playing the saxophone in a hostile frame of mind, compromising to a degree. Such thoughts as these, before and during dinner, had confirmed Mr. Dunn in his decision to take the steps already referred to at the earliest possible moment. Nor can we really blame the poor young gentleman: the occasion was decidedly domestic: Mr. Dunn was in a cruelly false position: and the de- graded mentality of his lordship was never less amenable to polite argument than on that fateful night. Yet, now that he had taken them, now that he stood beneath the trees on the other side of Carlton House Terrace and stared at the great house from which he had but a moment before fled like a poltroon, he discovered within himself a profound repugnance for his, Mr. Dunn’s, person. The picture of the gentle lady, on whom his innocent partiality for the latest movements in dancing had brought this discomfiture, preyed on his mind; the wrath of his lordship must by now, thought Mr. Dunn, have been confined within reasonable limits; and, with set face and determined mind, he was again approaching the house when its great doors were flung open and the second butler, with a look of agonized fear on his low face, was hurled forth by Lord Vest into the night. Mr. Dunn fled. N°&8 did he abate his pace so much as to take breath until he was some distance up that stretch of Regent Street which sweeps nobly upwards to meet Piccadilly Circus at a point marked by the imperious fagade of the new Criterion Restaurant; and he was in the very act of passing a handkerchief over his deranged forehead, when from behind him he was startled to hear a low cry: “Mr. Dunn! Mr. Dunn!” “Good God!” said he, swinging about. “ And thank God! For at least you are safe!” For there by his elbow, prettily panting for breath, was my lady; and never did she look to a manly eye so frail and gentle, for she was enwrapped in the fairy elegance of a cloak of white ermine. “Oh,” she sighed softly, “and I did so want to dance once again! Just once again!” ““But what happened? The man is mad!” cried Mr. Dunn. “Did you soothe him, Lady Vest? Did he see the absurdity of his suspi- cions, did he apologize for his behavior?” But it was as though the lady was not heeding his words. As they made to walk on up Regent Street she smiled absen‘ly into his concerned face and sighed: “ And oh, I did so want to dance with you just once again! But just imagine my indiscretion, Tunning after you like this! And all because of my over- powering desire to dance with you once again It will not occur again, I promise you Mr. Dunn. But oh, just to do those new move. ments of the Blues once again!” “Dear Lady Vest,” said Mr. Dunn sincere- ly, “there is nothing I would enjoy more Besides, it will soothe us. See, here we are at the doors of the Criterion, where, I am told, one may dance with comfort and propriety, But won’t you tell me first about the issue of Lord Vest’s temper? He was very angry? a gy soothed him?” “Oh, yes, yes! I soothed him, j Look, Mr. Dunn! Oh, look! There benen perched on the fountain yonder, on the left wing of Eros! Just fancy, Mr. Dunn, an owl! Did you ever hear of such a thing?” “Holy smoke, you're right!” said Mr. Duan. “An owl, or I’m a Dutchman! There’s never been an owl there before, that I'll swear.” ¢ “See,” cried Lady Vest with a strange exaltation, “‘see, it is staring at us! Mr, Dunn, do you know what that owl, a bird of wise omen, means? Can you imagine, Mr, Dunn! It means the doom of my lord. And what a doom!” - OLY smoke!” said Mr. Dunn, starting back from her. “Lady Vest, you haven’t—you haven’t kil—” “Listen, Mr. Dunn!” And she held him by the arm, looking into his eyes with sweet, sad dignity, whilst all about them passed the gay crowds that love to throng Piccadilly Circus, and the electric advertisements lit the scene with a festive glamour; nor ever did the owl stir from its station on the fountain. “Listen, Mr. Dunn! When you had made your escape, my husband revealed the true state of his mind by drawing a revolver. He was mad. I did not know what todo. I screamed, andon the second butler’s rushing into the room with- out knocking on the door the poor fellow was hurled from the house. But in the meanwhile I had managed to grab hold of the revolver. What could I do, Mr. Dunn? I ask you, what could I do?” “Holy smoke!” said Mr. Dunn. “I don’t know. But—” “The madman advanced on me. His face livid, his eyes mad, and his hands arranged before him in such a way as to leave one no room to doubt but that his immediate inten- tion was to strangle me. I threatened to fire. Can you, can anyone, blame me? Was I wrong, may one not defend one’s life?” ‘“*Holy—well, good God!” said Mr. Dunn. “Certainly. But—” ““My threat to fire did not discommode his mad approach. I kept on making it. But did he stop?” **Did he?” gasped Mr. Dunn. “Mr. Dunn, he did not. I fired.” “You didn’t!” said Mr. Dunn. “T did,” said my lady. “But holy smoke!” cried Mr. Dunn. “You killed him!” ; ‘“‘No,” she whispered sadly. “I missed. Mr. Dunn, he killed me.” i And it was at that moment, even as the phantom faded before his eyes and Mr. Dunn let out an appalling yell, that the owl on the fountain hooted thrice with marvelous dolor and fled, to be lost almost on the instant among the lofty shadows of the Regents Palace Hotel. Amateurs of history and_ students of privileze should note that additional point 8 j lent to this already very interesting chronide by the fact that. the late Lord Vest was the first Australian marquis to be hanged by neck in the year of grace 1924. A vast cone course of colonials attended outside the prisoa gates on the morning of the execution, some of whom were photographed by press as the act of gnashing their teeth, which is to ht explained by the fact that they had broug their breakfast with them in the form sandwiches. The executioners were Lovelace, Lovibond, and Lazarus. The drop given was sixteen feet.

HARPER’S BAZAR ‘GENTLEMEN ALWAYS PREFER BLONDES | | Anita Loos’s Story (Continued from page 79) I have not had time to more than glance through them. I have always liked novels about ocean travel ever since I posed for Mr. Christie for the front cover of a novel about ocean travel by Mr. McGrath because I have always said that a girl never really looks as well as she does on board a steamship or even a yacht. The English gentleman’s name is Mr. Ger- ald Lamson as those who have read his novels would know. He also sent me some of his own novels and they all seem to be about middle age English gentlemen who live in the country over in Londen and seem to ride bicycles which seems quite different from America except at Palm Beach. I told him how I write down all my thoughts and he said he knew I had some- thing to me from the first minute he saw me. So when we become better acquainted I am going to let him read my diary. I told Mr. Eisman about him and he is quite pleased. Of course Mr. Lamson is quite famous and it seems he has read all of his novels going to and fro on the trains and he is quite anxious to meet him and take him to the Ritz to dinner on Saturday night. Of course I did not tell Mr. Eisman that I am really getting quite a little crush on him which I really believe I am but he thinks my interest in him is more literary. March 30: T LAST Mr. Eisman has left on the 20th Century and I must say I am quite tired ‘and a little rest will be quite welcome. I do not mind staying out late every night if I dance but Mr. Eisman is not really a good dancer so most of the time we just sit and drink some champagne or have a bite to eat and of course I do not dance with anyone else when I am out with him. Mr. Eisman and Gerry, as Mr. Lamson wants me to call him became quite good friends and we had several evenings all three together. So this evening I am going out with Gerry and he said not to dress. I must say it will be quite a relief to go out in an old dress. Mr. Eisman is going to Paris this summer on professional business and I think he intends to present me with a trip to Paris as he says there is nothing so educational as traveling. It did worlds of good to Dorothy when she went abroad last spring and I never get tired of hearing her telling how the merry-go-rounds in Paris have pigs instead of horses. March 31: [AST night Gerry and I had dinner at quite a quaint place where we had ham and cabbage and baked potato. I mean he always wants me to have food which he calls nourish- ing which most gentlemen never seem to think of. Then we took a hansom cab and drove for hours around the park as Gerry said the air would be good for me. It is really very sweet to have some one think of all those things that gentlemen never seem to think about. We talked quite a lot. He really knows how to draw a girl out and I told him things that I really would not even put in my diary. He became quite depressed and we both had tears in our eyes. He said he never dreamed a girl could go through as much as I and come out as sweet and not made bitter by it all. He thinks that most gentlemen are brutes and really hardly ever think about a girl’s soul. It seems that he has had quite a lot of trouble himself and can not even get married on account of his wife. He and she have never been in love with each other but she was a suffragette and asked him to marry her, so what could he do. We rode until quite late talking and philosophizing and I finally told him that I really thought after all that bird life was the highest form of civilization. Gerry says he has never really seen a girl of my personal appearance with so many brains. He had really almost given up looking for his ideal when our paths seemed to cross each other. I told him I really thought a thing like that was nearly always the result of fate. He says that I remind him quite a lot of Helen of Troy who was of Greek extraction. The only Greek I know is a gentleman by the name of Mr. Georgopolis who is really quite wealthy and is what Dorothy and I call a “‘shopper” as you can always call him up and ask him to go shopping and he is really always quite delighted which very few gentle- men are. He never seems to care how much anything costs. He is also quite cultured as I know quite a few gentlemen who can speak in French to a waiter but Mr. Georgopolus can also speak in Greek to a bootblack which very few gentlemen seem to be able to do. Gerry calls me his little thinker and I really would not be surprised if my thoughts will give him quite a few ideas for his novels. Apr.t: I AM taking special pains with my diary from now on.as I am really writing it for Gerry. I mean he and I are going to read it together some evening in front of the fireplace, Gerry leaves this evening as he has to lecture about his works in Boston but he will rush back as soon as possible. I am really going to spend all my time improving myself while he is gone. We are both going to a museum on 5th Ave. this afternoon as he wants to show me a very beautiful cup made by an antique jeweler called Mr. Cellini and he wants me to read his life which is a very very fine book and not dull while he is in Boston. Lew Sherman called up and wanted me to go to a literary party that he and some literary gentlemen are giving in Harlem but Gerry does not want me to go with Lew as he always insists on telling riskay stories. Per- sonally I am quite broad minded and I have always said that I do not mind a riskay story as long as it is really funny. I mean I havea great sense of humor. But Gerry says, Lew does not always select and choose his stories and he just as soon I did not go out with him. So I am going to stay home and read the book. Willie Gwynn arrives from Europe tomorrow as I note by a cablegram just received. He is a sweet boy but he never gets anywhere and I am not going to waste my time on such as him after meeting Gerry. Apr. 2: I AM quite depressed this morning as I always am when there is nothing to put my mind to. Some one at the book shop played an april fool joke on Gerry and sent the wrong book by Mr. Cellini as it was really quite riskay and I know that Gerry would not want me to read any such a book. So I did not waste my time on it. Lulu is not teeling so good this morning so she is going to take it easy and read a book entitled Lord Jim and then tell me all about it as I really want to improve my mind while Gerry is away. When I got her the book I nearly made a mistake and gave her a book by the title of The Nigger of the Narcissus which really would have hurt her feelings. I really do not know why authors cannot say Negro instead of Nigger as they have their feelings just the same as we have. I just got a telegram from Gerry that he will not be back until tomorrow and also some orchids from Willie Gwynn so I may go to the theater with him tonight to keep from getting depressed as he is really a sweet boy. I mean he never really does anything obnoxious. It is really quite depressing to stay home and read unless you have company. A pr. 3: I WAS really so depressed this morning that I really was glad to get a long letter from Mr. Eisman. Willie Gwynn came to take me to the Follies last night but he was quite intoxicated and I really had to telephone his club to send around a taxi to take hi home. So that left me alone with Lulu at nine o’clock with nothing to do so I put ina call for Boston to talk to Gerry but it never went through. Lulu tried to teach me how to play mah jong but I really could not my mind on it as I was so depressed. go out and get some new evening gowns as I am sick of everything I have. I just havea telegram from Gerry that he will be in this afternoon but I must not meet him at station on account of the reporters and he will come directly up to see me as he has something to talk about. Apr. 4: ; wt an evening we. had last evening. It seems that Gerry is madly in love with me. All the time he was in Boston lec- turing to the womens clubs he said as hel over the faces of all those women in he never realized I was so beautiful and that there was only one in all the world and was me. It seems that he thinks Mr. Eismaa is terrible and that no good can come of our friendship. I was quite surprized, as both seemed to get along quite well together. It seems he never wants me to see Mr. again. And he wants me to give up ev thing and study €rench and he will get ee vorce and we will be married. He really be not seem to like the kind of life all of us re in New York and he wants me to go papa in Arkansas and he will send me ~ so that I will not get lonesome there.

GENTLEMEN ALWAYS PREFER | BLONDES Anita Zweas’s Story (Concluded jrom page 132) cringe to really think of a sweet girl like I having a friendship with Mr. Eisman. It really made me feel quite blue and depressed. Gerry really likes to talk quite a lot. I mean I always think a lot of talk is depressing and worries your brains with things you never even think of when you are busy. But Gerry does not mind me going out with other gentle- men when he is busy as long as they have some thing to give you mentaly so I am going out to luncheon with Eddie Goldmark of the Gold mark Films who is always wanting me to sign a contract. Mr. Goldmark is quite in love with Dorothy and Dorothy is always wanting me to go back in the movies and says she will go if I will go. r. 0: WROTE Mr. Eisman I was going to get married and it seems he is coming on at once as he probably would like to give his advise. Getting married is really quite serious and Gerry talks to me for hours about it. I mean he never seems to get tired of talking and he does not seem to even want to go to shows or dance or anything. Eddie Goldmark wants to give me five hundred a week to go out to Hollywood and play in the movies opposite Hal Hampton and | thought I might put in thé time that way while Gerry is getting his divorce but 1 never did like the coast and it is quite tedious to get up so early every morning. Still if I don’t really have something to put my mind on soon I will scream. Apr. 7: NAR. EISMAN and I have had quite a long talk and after all I think he is right. Here is the first real opportunity I have really ever had. I mean to go to Paris and broaden out and improve my writeing and why should I give it up to marry an author where he is the whole thing and all I would be would be the wife of Gerald Lamson. And on top of that I would be dragged into the scandal of a divorce court and get my name smirched. Opportunities come to seldom in a girls life for me to give up the first one I have r ly ever had and so I am sailing for France and London on Tuesday and taking Dorothy and Mr. Eisman says he will see us there later. Dorothy knows all the ropes and can get along in Paris just as though she knew French and she says nearly everyone in London speaks En-lish anyway.

OU can nowcleanse your skin at home just as they do in the beauty shops. Your beauty depends upon skin cleanliness —it should be clean and fresh as a June morning. And you can now give your skin such cleanliness without stepping outside your own door. We refer, of course, to the new Lettuce Cream— new in the sense that it has just become available to the general public through drug and department stores—which cream, by the way, has been the basis of over five hundred million beauty treatments in the more than 7,000 Marinello beauty shops and ten beauty schools. The Marinello schools, the medical pro- fession, beauty specialists and professional beauties are all agreed that the one funda- mental of beauty is a clean healthy skin. There are particles of dirt that imbed them- selves so deeply in the skin’s pores that soap and water do not dislodge them; dirt that literally smothers the proper functioning and

The Marinello experts have long since recog- nized the fact that there is no such thing as a cure-all, and each Marinello product is designed to do just one thing, but to do that thing well. This wonderful Lettuce Cleansing Cream is no exception, it is de- signed to cleanse —not to stimulate, nourish, whiten or tint, just to cleanse. And it gets that result. It is made of oils, whose sole purpose is to penetrate the pores and dis- solve the hidden dirt, draw out the hidden impurities and give the skin a chance to breathe. There is no powder suspended in Lettuce Cleansing Cream to leave an artificial whiteness, and the oils will not clog the pores; it is simply and purely a skin cleanser, nothing else.

«<But how about results?’’ you may ask. «Can I| apply this Lettuce Cleansing Cream with the same results as the beauty special- ists??? You surely can, but here is a way to prove it. Just send for the 3-day free trial tube and apply it according to instruc- tions. It is gently massaged into the pores of the skin and removed with a dry white cloth. Your skin is not only cleansed, but its natural softness is restored. It takes but a moment—it’s on and off—and the result will be beyond your greatest expectations. No complicated application; no elaborate ritual; it is scientifically prepared by Mar- inello, and the 25,000 beauty experts who use it regularly are ample proof of its purity and efficiency. Everyone, whether you are a user of cosmetics or not, needs at least acleansing cream, and here is one whose efficacy has been proven millions of times.

I shall have much to tell you about breeches when next we meet, an absorbing topic which some day should lend itself for discussion in one of your letters to Harper’s Bazar. You might combine it with new ideas for sports clothes. It’s, of course, too late in the season for this year, but do not forget to refer to the subject next winter. “‘Lady A. is here, lookinz beautiful, always exquisitely dressed by Chanel or Vionnet. She is one of three women who wear breeches successfully and one of the few smart ones in the world who hesitates to bob her hair. She wears it parted, the separation continued down the back of her head, with coiled tresses covering her ears. As this style is becomin7 to her and leaves the back absolutely flat, she may be wise to keep to her individual genre. “Have been taking no end of exercise, too much so, in fact, for I’ve joined the large St. Moritz contingent of the temporarily invalidated. I’ve hurt my knee badly, sprained my wrist, and still go about with a nasty bruise on my forehead, the result of strenuous skiing expeditions. Nevertheless, am feeling very fit and have never enjoyed life as much. “We had a fancy dress ball a few nights ago, which was surprisingly good. My costume, telegraphed for from Paris, arrived in the nick of time and was voted a huge success. I was quite surprised to see so many handsome costumes worn that nizht. How- ever, the balls Mr. Padrutt organizes at the Palace Hotel have become so famous the world over that most people, when making reservations for rooms months ahead, at the same time plan their costumes for these entertainments. “My fancy dress, made by Lenief, won the first prize. I should have been terribly mortified if I hadn’t carried off the silver vase, which was duly presented to me by a com- mittee of ladies, for I certainly deserved it. The costume was Russian, with an Eastern touch about it. Gold tissue, and a long metal brocaded coat, edged with fur and em- broidered with shimmering red beads. My scarlet boots were stunning and my high- peaked fur turban, surmounted by a towering red aigrette quite two feet high, created a sensation. I was thoroughly pleased with my appearance. ““Such are the joys of St. Moritz! However, all pleasant things have to come to an end, and I am planning my descent into Italy by the Maloja, a wonderful sleigh drive down to Chiavenna, about five hours from here, where I catch the train for Rome. Do let me hear from you at the Grand Hotel. You must surely join me there. It will be great fun, being in Rome together. Early in March we might, hand in hand, adjourn to the Riviera, which will certainly cause a scandal. Don’t disappoint me. Don’t deprive me of the scandal part! I haven’t caused one for a long while, and it’s quite time I was again talked about. ‘My letter is endless, and it’s almost nine o’clock, which I didn’t realize. I haven’t started dressing for dinner. Everybody will be waiting for me. “Therefore, receive only the hastiest love and very hurried greetings, “From yours, “BETTINA.” BEFORE giving Bettina’s views on face treatments, which seem to me quite interesting, I have a few words to say myself on the subject. Of course, I am only a layman, but I am surprised there should still exist a prejudice against cosmetics and make- up. I imagined they had died out by now, yet even in fashion centers such as Paris London, or New York, I have seen headlines in the dailies such as “Is rouging ladylike?” or ‘Do you approve of make-up for your wife and daughter?” and similar absurdities. It seems to me that the women both in Europe and America who for years have been fighting for the privilege of using cosmetics and of rouging their faces and lips and have gained the battle will never relinquish their victory. To make use of rouge is in itself quite harmless, and should be criticized only when badly applied. Powder and rouge pro- tect the skin against the vagaries of our northern climates, especially against wind and sun, and keep the skin in a better condition than when left natural. Historians tell us that the use of make-up is as old as the world, and that the applying of rouge to one’s face was practised by the people belonging to the most ancient civiliza- tions. For many thousands of years the women of China and Japan have painted their cheeks, tinted their eyebrows, and colored their lips. Egyptian women were adept in the use of henna and plucked their eyebrows, which custom, by the way, was revived in recent years in Europe but even more so in America As to the famous patches, which were worn by the great ladies of the court of Louis XV and Louis XVI., they are gradually coming in again, for they harmonize with paint, powder and the fashionable gray hair combined with young faces. Even if during the past century, which in a sense was rather bourgeois, cos. metics have become unfashionable, it stands to reason that what has been thought attrac- tive since the world was civilized, is stil] becoming in 1925. Now this is what Bettina writes to me from Rome on the subject: “Grand Hot “ My dear Gayne: eh, Rome. 7 W HAT next are you going to ask of me? What you want to know is a woman’s most guarded secret. If, at least, my informa- tion was not intended for Harper’s Bazar, it wouldn’t be so bad, but I don’t suppose you are inquiring about face treatment’s for your own personal benefit. Then again, why on earth write on subjects you obviously know nothing about? Yet, it is difficult to refuse you anything; you’ve always been more than good to me, and um service en vaut bien—un autre, so I dare say I shall have to help you out. Besides, there is no need of telling you everything. ““Now, I shall tell you what I did. I went to the famous beauty specialist on the Corso, the one who advertises so strenuously, just to be able to describe to you what she did. But alas, I could hardly bear to sit through the performance, for it was diametrically opposed to everything I consider good for my skin. Her treatment didn’t meet with my approval. “To start with, she covered my face with steaming towels, a thing I never do, to open the pores of the skin, as she said. Next she applied a nourishing cream, which was massaged into the skin, more particularly about the eyes and mouth, which I ineffec- tively tried to prevent, as she was doing it very harshly. After this, the cream was removed by fumigating vapors, and finally cold towels were applied to close the pores of the skin. I will not discuss the merits of the lady’s method; it isn’t mine and I don’t like it. “Since early childhood I’ve been in the habit of treating my skin one way or the other, and I know exactly what suits me. My mother never permitted powder. As to make- up or rouge on one’s lips, she considered it to be the worst possible style, exclusivly re served for ladies of the demi-monde. If lip salve was used at all, it had to be of the color- less kind. Though of English parents, she was born in Russia where, when she was young, cosmetics of any kind were practically unknown. Nevertheless, her skin was won- derful, the sort often referred to as ‘camellia- like,’ and it is a fact that her methods of keeping it in condition have never included creams. I distinctly remember when on 4 journey and arriving at a hotel, her first care was to ask for a large bunch of parsley, which was dipped into a jug of water and left to soak overnight in readiness to wash her face next morning. She also used a cucumber, which was sliced and rubbed all over the face and body. Ice was applied every day, especially on the neck and _ shoulders, and there is no denying the fact that at the age of fifty my mother had preserved the skin of a girl, and showed very few lines. Since then, times and points of view have undergone radical changes and with all my mother’s fresh and youthful complexion, she wow without any doubt, have looked demodé and countrified to-day. She would, had she lived in 1925, unhesitatingly have taken to cos metics, make-up—e! tout ce qui sen suil— as we all have done. “Now, here is my morning treatment, the way I have used it for years. It may ‘ nothing out of the 4 but it -_ pate especially my skin. To start with, Ss aaa A face with a good cold cream, never with water.

KNICKERS AND de Meyer’s Baron MAKE-UP Article (Concluded from page 136) | I always rouge my lips; every one does, even | pale-faced women do; in fact, the paler the | face the redder the lips should be so as to | avoid a washed-out look. The inside of the | nostrils should be red, as well as the lobes of the ears and the chin, especially in the evening. “Before retiring at night, I use the same cleansing cream and same astringent lotion as in the morning, followed by a good nourishing cream massaged into the skin with the tips of one’s fingers during ten minutes. If not inconvenient, the cream should remain on one’s face over night. As an occasional bracing-up of the skin, a short treatment of high frequency, not exceeding five minutes, is very efficacious once or twice a week. It | tones up the muscles. “No treatment should be overdone, nor | should any treatment be too drastic. Women are inclined to overdo facial manipulations. They exaggerate face massage, face exercises, | and steaming, in fact, all methods which end by distending the skin and leaving it loose and flabby. The facial skin is exceedingly delicate and requires being handled with utmost delicacy. “Fresh air, sun baths, rest—in fact, natural methods—keep a skin young and healthy and are far better than any artificial manipulation. I am opposed to massage. I consider it absolutely disastrous, for it stands to reason that before the muscles of the face are reached so as to strengthen them, one has to massage quite harshly. This, after a time, distends the skin and sagging becomes inevitable. As | to steaming, it undoubtedly cleanses the skin, but also dries it intensely, and once the skin becomes dry, small lines which later on develop into wrinkles invariably follow. ““A very famous beauty specialist, and a remarkably honest one by the way, one day assured me there was but one good treatment for the skin—namely, nourishing it incessantly | with animal fats, the only fat our skin assimilates. Therefore, as muscles in good condition are meant to hold one’s skin taut and smooth, grease should be used incessantly, regularly, and lavishly. All other advice from specialists, not necessarily quacks but possibly given for purposes of a commercial order, may have the most disastrous consequences later on. “In recent years surgical methods for rejuvenating aging-faces have become quite usual. Such methods, howevef, do not belong to the domain of the beauty specialist, but are surgery. Quite often such operations are successful for a time at least, but more often the change produced is not altogether advan- tageous to the ‘patient.’ Good results rarely last more than six months, hardly a year, and must then be repeated over and over again—the alternative being destroyed con- tours and faces falling more than ever. “Think of our mutual friend—you, of course, know whom I have in mind—and remember the three scars in front of each ear concealed by locks of hair and which a gust of wind revealed to us. Don’t you find our poor friend sadly changed in the last year or two? True, she still has a superb and youthful figure, but her face—oh my, what a disaster! Here lies the explanation. No, I shall never attempt it. I shall grow old gracefully, though as late as possible. The after effects, those I have witnessed, have entirely cured me. “Did you hear of Henrietta’s niece having her nose reshaped? I admit it is smaller, and a better looking nose than before, but every- body seems to agree that her original nose gave more character to her face and that the operation has not improved her appearance. As to the paraffin injections you asked me about, warn every woman against them. A lovely girl I knew craved a Greek profile. She had a depression between the eyebrows, which had to be filled out. The paraffin was injected and the nose actually became straight, resembling those on Greek coins. Eventually, however, the paraffin began to wander and finally settled on her jaw. The contour was ruined forever, even if her nose remained Greek, and she eternally had to appear with the lower part of her face swathed in tulle scarves. ; “There is little I can say on the subject of manicuring which most American women don’t know perhaps better than I do. What I might say, though, is that the fashion of using pink varnish is rapidly diminishing, principally because in the long run it rums one’s nails. Mine were totally ruined, and 1 had to give up my manicure because insisted on using varnish. There is no doubt that a natural polish is much more refined, and does not injure the nails. She also in- sisted on cutting my cuticle closely, which for a few days produced a very neat edge; however, it is a bad method and I am now having the cuticle pushed back very gently, while the nail is smothered in cream. | always make it a point of greasing my cuticle after my morning bath and of gently pushing back the skin with an orange stick. It keeps it in excellent condition. “Permanent waving is now much better done in Paris than anywhere else in the world, a sweeping assertion made because of my long experience of the permanente both in America and Europe. A good hairdresser Panis never curls the ends of one’s hair, as it Pt duces a terrible fluffy effect and a big ‘th Short hair, for instance, only looks well wi large flat waves.

PARK & TILFORD, New York Distributors in America HARPER’S BAZAR a | DUMAY This is a hat, which, as the French say, “takes a lot of wearing.” When worn to advantage it is charming, what with black crinoline and wild, shooting aigrettes. PARIS NOW CONTEMPLATES THE NEW HAT Marjorie Howard’s Article (Continued from page 95) adorns it by a special setting. A great master of the latter style was Charles Rivaud the goldsmith, as he called himself, who died last year. There is an exhibition of his unique pieces in his atelier, nearly all of them loans, where one may see, for example, an extraor- dinary pendant, made of two lion’s claws polished and mounted in soft Indian gold; or a bracelet worked in flexible sections, like a snake’s backbone, and set on one side with large square emeralds “‘for daytime’’ and on the other with huge diamonds “for the eve- ning,” as his son explains it. There is a: pendant like a pine-cone, of modeled flexible silver, the tip of amber; and another of different metals blended in a strange design, with a chain of beige silk strands, held together with a great worked bead of gold. A great oval emerald is set in a detached frame of gold, exactly alike on both sides, so that nothing of the stone is hidden, as it hangs in its frame. A pearl chain caught my fancy, the pearls grouped together like raspberries on an oddly linked gold thread. So many arts and crafts are combined in the making of these unique ornaments that the possession of one becomes a privilege. A sort of renaissance is taking place in all dress accessories, it seems to me. I keep hearing of instances of the special manufac- ture of art objects of special use, exquisite A soft band of beautifully embossed gold ribbon forms a snug band around the forehead, and the top is made of supple loops of black satin ribbon. bags, smoking things, boxes, and _bibelots without number. Jean Patou, who never misses a trick, held, at Christmas time, an exhibition of bags, envelop ‘purses, briquets, in which his treasures of ancient and Eastern fabrics. and his collection of Turkish snuff-bottles were turned to good account. Some of these lovely things are sketched by Luza on page ninety-four. They attracted a lot of attention. With all her specialties about her, the Parisienne may be said to present a “custom made” appearance, as we should call it in America, or “‘ bespoke” as they quaintly say in London.

There are certain theaters which always command a good-look- ing house for their first weeks; others to which the people who buy tickets seem to have given them to their cooks and concierges. There are also a few stage women who are always sartorially worth while. Jane Renou- ardt and Yvonne Printemps among them on the stage, and Marthe Davelli off it. There have been some interesting theatrical events this season, by the way, the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the present opera house, for example, when we had a long program made up of old-fashioned dishes such as they relished in 1875. There was a heavy meal of acts of Les Huguenots and Hamlet, and, at the end, a reconstitution of a Lully ballet, which had its “world premiére” in 1681, and which ends with the most naively delightful Olympus, heavily uphol- stered, and set high in a cream-puff of a Louis XIV. cloud, like a ceiling fresco come to life. THE MOULIN-ROUCGE N ASTOUNDING contrast was the open- ing performance of the Moulin-Rouge, rebuilt to suit modern convenience, in which the eighteen Gertrude Hoffman girls perform the most amazing feats, without turning one can’t say a hair, because their bobbed tresses are perfect whirligigs—perhaps an eyelid. I am interested to note the inter- change of ideas between these shows in New York and in Paris. There is still a bit more of the uncovered human form in the latter, but it is rarely so divine, and quite ten years older per capita. However, New York is certainly coming on in this particular, and one sees on the stages of both the same scanty but e:- sentially placed butterflies, held on, I suppose, by caterpillar attraction. One trick they have at the Casino de Paris of which other man- agers might well take notice; and that is the turning on of the most brilliant white lights across the orchestra pit, facing the audience, during the dark changes. They are so glaring that the stealing forms in overalls are really almost invisible. THE DEARTH OF MANNEQUINS I‘ SEEMS that all enterprises which demand the services of young and pretty women are worried about the failing supply. We con- stantly hear of the dearth of presentable mannequins. One natural explanation is the enormously greater demand for them, since dressmaking establishments have grown up like mushrooms in every available corner. Jean Patou has rather upset calculations by his daring innovation of importing young and personable Americans. There are six of them in his salons—a tip-nosed saucy one, a coin- profiled one with immobile features and a low chignon, a fair head, a brown head, a red head, a dark head—all slender, all willowy as ostrich feathers, all setting their slim feet precisely down, like long thin-legged birds. In his new coin de sports he also has imported English girls to wear the sports clothes, but English mannequins are less of a novelty. No one has forgotten Molyneux’s first seasons, when the ineffably lovely blonde Hebe and the (Continued on page 144) GEORGETTE Paris is making an effort to revive the small flower toque, made on the lines of one’s ¢ favorite little felt, in soft pink, blue, and green.

And now for the kernel of information in this nut of description. Evening dress is still straight and scanty, elaborated for formal occasions either by the use of a rich material or by scintillating embroidery, in silk, metal, stones. beads, or spangles. Silver cloth, fre- quently embroidered in crystal or strass, is extremely popular; gold is seen, but less often. Lots of light satins, some metal laces, quanti- ties of chiffon. White and sparkling silver is a favorite combination, with all the pinks, from pale rose to cyclamen. Other light colors, mauve, blue, green, come afterwards, and there are some strong ones. like the wine reds, with here and there a sapphire blue or grass green. Black is not absent from the evening mode, but it is either transparent, or richly, often scintillatingly, embroidered. I see a lot of Lanvin’s black and silver or black and crystal evening gowns, frequently with a deep pink satin or American beauty scarf attached to one shoulder and twirled about in various ways. I see many embroi- dered evening gowns from Deeuillet. quantities of Chanel’s, richly beaded Molyneux’s, Callot’s lovely cloth of gold model, almost covered with green silk embroidered leaves and shiny spangled blossoms; Patou’s chiffons and satins; Jenny’s bead fringed model, in black or white; lots of other fringes.

But you can’t pretend that they add much, in them- selves, to your appearance. They don’t make you prettier, and that’s a fact.” “*Prettiness is out of date,” I told her. ‘Our present ideal is the smartness which is its exact opposite. To-day your figure, not your face, is your fortune. Your face may be frankly ucly, as long as your silhouette isn’t. Besides, if there are not so many pretty women as there were when you were turning heads, at least allow that there are fewer monstrosities of bad taste. The mode is so plain and simple nowadays, that it leaves much less room for mistakes on the part of the average woman. And, of course, when you raise the average you make it more difficult for the individual to stand out above it.” “That is quite true; but, nevertheless, a really pretty woman in my day would have stood out above any average on earth. In our evening dress, she could look simply gorgeous, sweeping into a ballroom with her train behind her. I don’t see any one looking gorgeous to-day.” “You don’t see any one sweeping into a ballroom, either. I assure you that a long train and furbelows would simply not find floor room at the Jardin de ma Seur, and your pretty woman would be left at her table to find her compensation in champagne.” “Don’t talk to me, my dear,” she replied, returning tranquilly to her book. “A pretty face has held its own since Eve was a flapper, and it always will. My advice to your smart, skinny, ugly woman would be to hurry her haymaking—that’s all.” This conversation occurred to me as I inspected the new millinery, Frankly, the pretty hat is as dead as Free Silver. The hats that you can picture on a fashionable head are all simple, small, and sober, though they may be smart, subtle, and significant as well. and a hat on_the head is worth a whole dozen in the hand. We do not yet know what the hat of the spring will look like. The milliner does not know—the élégante does not know— nobody knows. The great question before the house, at present, is whether it will still be high and pointed. Every expert has an opinion, but the result of a consultation among them leaves you where it found you. — What we do know, is that the spring hat will continue to complete and supplement the silhouette, making with it a harmonious whole. At Reboux’s my vendeuse shrugs shoulders. ‘Yes, we are still making some high crowns—softer, perhaps. Oh! no, no wide brims. At least not for the Parisienne. If you want some little hats for the South, madame, we'll adapt some light felts ot panamas to suit you specially.” From this “adaptation” will come the Reboux hat which will run through the mode like wildfire and appear on hundreds of heads within the space of ten days or so, once it gets fairly started. The “clown” hat at Reboux’s is a thing of the past already. Some of the aforesaid little felts have “pinches” in their crowns, w do not hug the head as closely as they did last spring. As to the colors, there isa whole range of “violine” shades, which means all the tones that could be described as violet—very purples, or very purple reds, as you like it. Some of them approach the wine colors; others run toward magenta. They are calling them orchidée—and really they do recall the a petals of a mauve and purple orchiid—-S using the same colors in fine panama exotic straws.

Different from massage, Face Molding is based on scientific knowledge of the muscles that control the facial contour. Working directly on these un- derlying muscles, it molds them gently and surely back to the firm lines of youth. Sagging and wrinkles magically yield to its influence and the skin takes on new life and color. This treatment that is keeping so many intelligent wo- men young, can be easily applied in your own home. Ten minutes a day will work wonders. Ask about Face Molding at the toilet goods section of any leading department store or smart shop; also about Primrose House Preparations—creams, lotions, face pow- ders and rouges for. every type of skin, the most perfect of their kind to be had anywhere in the world.

Unfortunately in the couture this is no longer possible; but it is possible in chapeaux, and it is my guiding principle.

I shall always think of the silhouette first, and of making something pretty a long time afterwards. Large hats? Yes, certainly; but later, much later, when— alas, I must also say if—the summer sun requires them. “Color? Well, you see that my favorites are the combinations of grays and browns just now.” She held in her hands a lot of little colored feather fancies as she spoke. “You see, I am studying colors at present.

Marthe Collot keeps her hats high, and frequently drapes them diagonally. She is going on with what might be called the “jelly bag” model, in spring materials. Reboux made this hat as long ago as last August in fur and kasha, and repeated it with much success for St. Moritz. It has an ex- cellent chance of surviving because it de- mands special attention for each face, and a great deal of “ wearing,”’ so that no amount of repetition can make it really common. Col- lot’s hats are all without form and void in the hand, and are molded on each individual head. She revels in camaieux comb‘nations of browns and grays; predicts a continuance of the red- dish tans, and comb nes bright greens with black or white. Marthe Régnier, the actress-milliner, who created a lot of talk last summer by sell’ng hats from a converted boat anchored in the Touques between Deauville and Trouville, has abandoned the exaggerated point, but still makes “nut shaped” crowns, slightly pointed. She favors a very blue mauve as her special color, and places her trimming high, using ribbons, and sometimes feathers. She shows a few flower-trimmed hats, but the flowers are massed more like ribbon ruches than blossoms. J. Suzanne Talbot, on the contrary, says that she has always loved and made the pointed hat, and that she fully intends to keep on with it. We find most original inter- pretations here, as original as the gowns which she is designing to go with them. There is an Egyptian feeling about many of them, and one is not surprised to see a wonder- ful bas-relief of a helmeted Pharaoh in her salon. MaRIA Guy’s HAtTs ARIA GUY, partisan of ultra-feminine millinery, is still seeking, experimenting, and trying conclusions with feathers, flowers, and ribbons. Here we find some odd shapes, sometimes turned up sharply in the back in a fashion reminiscent of the niniche. An oddity is a round extension on one side of the crown set high, which in turn is covered with ribbon, flowers, or feathers, even ostrich tightly curled, for a change. Very rough straw of the type called paillasson is used here. Ribbons are twisted and twirled into high bows, or massed to cover one side of a little shape sometimes two sorts being used at once, as in the model sketched by Luza. The wine reds are favorites. She still loves a beautifully ’ posed bow of lace on a fragile hat of fine crinoline. Flowers, she says, will be for later, Georgette, on the other hand, thinks that it is never too soon for flowers. She has dis- covered some lovely ones, iridescent, opales- cent, like Tiffany glass; and she makes toques of them which suggest really important oc- casions. She is still hunting for the hat of her season, and in the meantime is experimenting with rough straws, and even with those shiny featherweight cellophane weaves which were very much done last spring. She trims these with expertly made ribbon cockades, or with a slight embroidery of metal threads. Her trade-mark, a marvelously tied bow, is found on a few wider shapes for later in the season. CAMILLE ROGER’sS HATS or STRAW HE hat from Camille Roger is typical of the soft simple straw which will un- doubtedly be the first to replace the felt and velour of winter It is somewhat pointed, and its subtly curved brim is formed differ- ently for each client, to give just the line her face needs in order to be at its best. The trimming amounts to little or nothing. Later on, she will use the very finest crinoline, some- times flower trimmed, in moderate size, and frequently in color. At Lewis’s, we find hats to suit every face, from the picturesque ‘‘creation,” like the folded turban sketched, which demands a personality to wear it, to the simple little sports model, round of crown and almost brim- less; a harmless necessary sort of head-gear with no pretention about it. If you are (Concluded on page 152) REDFERN Typical of spring is a@ costume made of an apple green Rodier fabric, trimmed with clipped shaded gray wool. The hat is of the new “jelly bag” type.

HARPER’S BAZAR

An unusual, individual bit of jewelry is the pendant of large square-cut emeralds worn by Mrs. Jefferson Cohn. PARIS NOW CONTEMPLATES THE NEW HAT Marjorie How vard’s Article (Concluded from page 150) allowed into the mysteries of the back premises, you will find a room full of feather- trimmed hats, a room full of ribbon-trimmed ditto; another devoted to flowers, and a fourth to laces. Finally you will reach a sort of storeroom, where the hats are ranged on shelves exactly like jam-pots. Dumay is another milliner who offers us a wide latitude of choice. She has recently opened a new shop, and she did it most amus- ingly with a christening party, at which the classic dragées, without which no French child can be officially baptized, were presented to us in little colored bandboxes. Hats here are both pointed and rounded; sometimes they are oddly folded across the crown, as in the one sketched, which is a daring affair of aigrettes and crinoline. At almost every house scarfs and hats are still living together in wedlock. The scarf is no longer inevitable, but it is still prevalent. Nearly all sports clothes include it. It is made of all kinds of things, Talbot being particularly fond of bizarre materials, great squares of plain or patterned surah, kashas, or handwoven fabrics; or odd bands of em- broidery set down the center of a wide band of black chiffon. Agnés uses painted materials for hers, and matches them in the little borders of her soft straw hats. She has a secret of applying the paint which leaves the stuff as supple as if it were printed. PASTEL SHADES T EVERY house there is both a favorite color and a quantity of black. From all these favorites the color for summer hats will be evolved later, as pervenche blue was evolved last summer, and myrtle green this autumn. In the new sports clothes for the South we find an awakened interest in all the pastel shades—pink, blue, yellow, and green, rivaling the white or beige which were de rigueur last season. It is possible that these cones may affect our taste in town millinery, but I doubt it. Time—in this case the end of April—will tell. What is certain, is that hats have fallen from their high estate. They are no longer an end in themselves, but a mere complement of the ensemble. As long as the daytime silhouette remains as slim and simple as it is, hats will be bound to remain simple with it. And, as Madeleine of Drécoll’s rightly says, we cannot materially change the silhouette without changing the corset. No woman is willing to wear more than an elastic belt, at most, and so we have a status quo, with slight variations of detail, or material, for novelty. Real novelty gets spoiled too soon by over- popularity. As soon as a creator has launched an innovation, the thousand and one little people, who call themselves creators, unite with one fell accord to make it common. That is what happened to the Directoire influence last summer. The idea of the raised waist, suggested by a yoke, a line, a bit of color or trimming, was charming, but the wild ex- travagances brought out at once by unim- portant designers were fit only for fancy dress, and could never have had success with a élégante. CLoTHES DEPEND ON DaIty LIFE LOTHES depend, and always have de pended, on daily life. They form an i tegral part, and a very important one, of the history of their time. About the beginnings the last century, men’s dress began to , and soberize, until it became a veritable umi- form, with less variation, on the whole, than there is in real military uniform. Women’s pre> ent life, approaching more and more nearly masculine, will inevitably result in the and conventionalizing of daytime dress— not, perhaps, to the same extent as man for women will still be the Reaper sex; but certainly in so far as to } the demands of practicality and suitability, This explains the growing vogue of what we call sports clothes, which have so advanced in grade as to become the most consi¢ part of our daylight wardrobe. This also accounts for the growing neglect of formal afternoon dress, of the type which used to be called a “ visiting toilette,’ when the depositing of bits of pasteboard was one the most significant afternoon occupations 0 the smart world. Autres temps, autres m@urs; and above all, other clothes. Those of us who remember, from actual experience, feel of a rigid corset, of a high, tight collar, @ binding armhole and sausage-skin "i a heavy hat poised on top of a coiffure "em bellished” with false hair, and the drag a dirt of a sweeping skirt, are more than to renounce looking gorgeous, for the sanity and safety. WHAT PRICE A CROWNING GLORY? (Concluded from page 100) Antoine thinks that the reproach of plain- ness of the shock-headed coiffure with the richer type of evening dress should be met by the revival of the head-dress for evening wear. The bob and the shingle are so perfect with the boyish sports clothes that it would be a shame to change them; and what is easier than adding an appropriate head decoration, which shall again be carefully chosen to suit the costume? There is a very famous coiffeur, by the way, who is an adept at this sort of making the punishment fit the crime. He rejoices in the » almost incredible name of “Félix la Barbe, and he adheres to the good old dix-huitieme siecle custom of visiting his clients m B® homes. They receive him at the most sible hours; with his irons and shears . @ ps ww fF wt ty

CYour Corset What does it mean to you? It is more than agarment—a great deal more. Your corset isa part of you —part of your every move, every thought, every act. If your corset is perfect, its perfection lends added dignity and grace to every activity of life—helps you in every way, every hour in every day; helps you to a radiant personality, to perpetual loveliness. If your corset is less than per- fect, you know it—nothing can nide its imperfections; nothing can overcome them. And any imperfections in your corset are reflected as im- perfections in yourself — and your unconscious s¢lf can never forget it; you cannot be at ease physically or mentally—if your corset is less than perfect. Kenlasti<c - the knitted elastic” America’s finest corsets are made with a perfect knitted elastic fabric that fitslike skin itself, responding instantly and naturally to every change in mo- tion and posture; a perfect fabric that holds wee mouldsthe figure without re- straint; a perfect fabric that lets your body breathe freely and evenly at all times and under all conditions. omen who demand the ultimate of service in corsets, women who ac- cept nothing short of perfect adjust- ment of every line and curve of body and limb— fastidious women demand the supreme luxury of corsets made with Kenlastic, the knitted elastic. It is their guarantee of unvarying quality and lasting resiliency. ee “A little book about Happiness,’’ gives facts and viewpoints that have a defi- nite bearing on personal beauty, sus- tained youth, charm and poise.

The master parfumeur smilingly accepts this accusation; he wonders somewhat that we have not added to our charge some such term as “intensive student of human types.” Certainly, of all luxuries known to a finished civilization, none is more individual in its ap- peal and application than is perfume. master inventor of perfumes must understand the human feminine no less profoundly than he understands the flowers of field and garden and the delicate vials and crucibles of his laboratory, for is not the success of a delicious scent dependent upon this: that it, like a love- sonnet, is composed for and addressed to a definite woman? It is our privilege to question M. Fioret in the rare little shop which, in the heart of a New York thoroughfare, still disseminates an air of Paris. Its uniquely green-curtained windows, its draped recesses in which are to be discovered delightful flasks filled with the compelling perfumes bearing the Fioret label all lead one naturally into a most olfactory mood. We remind ourselves that it is as an expert in the application of given fragrances to types and individuals that we are inter- viewing our host. “The perfume destined for a blonde?” we ask. M. Fioret assures us that it should be not too strong and decidedly floral in character. The delicate suggestion of a fresh country- side at high summer is applicable to her. A more powerful blended fragrance, but carrying with it an open hint of tropical forests and Oriental subtleties; this for a pronounced brunette. A perfume not foreign to ambre is usually to be chosen for a woman of that intermediate coloring which the French call chétain. Let it be a trifle dreamy but breathing marked enchantment, that it may best interpret her peculiar allure. ENEATH the charming poetry of each of these adroit applications lies a care- fully constructed scientific basis. ‘“‘Is_ it generally realized,” asks M. Fioret, “that a perfume is noticeably affected by the skin to which it is applied? It is so affected. Pigmentations dusky, fair, intermediate, react very differently to an identical perfume, as the perfume in turn reacts differently to it. A woman as yet uninitiated in the searching art of the perfumer may inquire of a friend the name and maker of the fragrance which has captivated her fancy only to find as she herself uses it that the enchantment escapes; it is not the same. No: a blonde, a brunette, a chdtain often use an identical perfume with a differing result. “But as I argue I forget for the moment that I am speaking of perfume as it is applied by Frenchwomen, women who are w schooled in this delicate intricacy of the toilette—your Gallic sister, mesdames, as she dresses for the street by daylight, or for an evening’s gaiety, atomizes her lingerie with dainty thoroughness as well as her arms, neck, and shoulders. She atomizes her gown and wrap as well—she does not deposit a little well of perfume in a special spot, an ineffectual habit, the last one. “This ritual of the toilette is accomplished an hour or so before Madame is to issue forth, and for the excellent reason that perfume gives out its happiest strength and aroma after the alcohol has evaporated and the essence itself becomes apparent. “One other detail I must not omit: as 4 Frenchwoman atomizes her skin she gently massages the perfume well into its texture. This insures a lasting, a deliciously pers quality. In fact, the massage should be so deliberate and over so general an area her skin that madame, or mademoiselle, as the case may be, will move in a veritable aura of her chosen fragrance.” “QE question more: May a man affect a perfume?” “He not only may; he does,” we are a& sured. “It is interesting to discover that each year American men are using periume and toilet waters more and more freely. Your national idea that a man jeopardizes his masculinity by the use of perfume is rapidly giving place to the conviction an appropriate scent judiciously used is a nec essary refinement. F “To a Frenchman like myself this scruple ’ has always seemed puzzling. Aside from fact that the most dynamic men in Europe have used perfumes and scented waters W! complete unconsciousness from time imme- morial, the American man is so 0 ' so uncompromisingly virile that he, one reasons, might easily adopt exquisite persone foibles with a careless assurance. + ns Se certain fragrances, of course, more suitable for him than others. I would recommend ¥ above all else.” t And still the problem ¢ ie DO il is know which perfume is for her speci * Would oa. be willing, M. Fioret,” ventures, “to answer questions cone ae a given individual's use of perfume, if d questions were put to you by the rea ers Harper’s Bazar?” “F should be not only willing, I should delighted to answer such questions. 2 services like my compositions in fragrance toujours pour la femme.” NEV
