PHYLLIS HAVER
I T may be that modern customs
and the hustle, bustle and
carelessnQss of today have
brought about some change in the
fairer sex, buc^ having been called
upon to make a pictorial compari
son of girls and women of today
and those of 1900, Frank Lloyd
steadfastly maintains that it Isn’t
tho feminine charmers who have
changed—it’s only their clothes.
In filming “Her Husband’s Se
cret,’ adapted from May Edgin
ion’s Saturday Evening Post story
Judgment,” a coming First Nation
-1 release M r Lloyd has prpyi^ej!
.
as a prologue a n wil<J party” of
•not&er’a day. Investigating habits
ind customs of the period, Mr.
Lloyd found that, although it was
umsidered more shocking than
low, there were young women who
unoked and drank and who hu-
with a scalloped side panel picoted
in silver and fastened at the waist
with a rhinestone ornament.
Miss Janes was wearing flame
chiffon fashioned over an under
dress of cloth of gold with a
band of flame maribou at the
bottom.
Miss Randall was wearing black
velvet trimmed with Oriental em
broidery.
Miss Jcyies’ blue crepe.frock was
trimmed in blue maribou and
French flotvers.
Miss Gordy, u&ss wearing peach
blow chiffcnxand cream lace.
Miss Ison’s -red velvet gown
had trimmings of silver.
Mrs. Newton was wearing white
crepe embroidered elaborately in
pastel shaded beads. /
Mrs. Boyd was wearing orehid
chiffon over oirchid satin, beaded
with crystals.
Miss Hallyburton’s blue satin
dress was trimmed f in French
flowers.
Mrs. Bussey was wearing yel
low chiffon velvet trimmed in
pearls and pearl fringe.
Miss Rhoda Nichols' frock of
burnt orange velvet was heavily
beaded with rhinestones in effec
tive designs.
Mrs. .Searcy was wearing ^apri
cot satin with fur trimmings and
appliqued French flowers.
Miss Rice was wearing whXe
sequins over silver cloth.
Miss Mary Nichols was wearing
shell pink chiffon and lace.
Miss Montgomery was gowned
in ceil blue georgette.
Miss Burks’ green Canton crepe
dress was trimmed in rows of
morously referred to "conventions.
But comparing their dreSs with
that of the modern girls they were
wilder—yes, much wilder.
The popular fashions for young
women in mother’s day might not
have been nearly so revealing, Mr.
Lloyd points out, hut certainly they
were not so free and so logical as
those worn by the feminine brestF
takers of today.
By way of comparison, study
carefully the photographs from
“Her Husband’s Secret,” reproduc
ed above. Note the length and
ii breadth” of Phyllis Haver’s white
yachting skirt—eight yards of
basting lq the hem. Look at the
tight fitting sailor jacket which
aided the corsets beneath in mak
ing breathing more difficult. And
tk°n the high choker collar. That
didn’t help the breathing much,
either. And “get” the high laced
shoes and the small sailor hat
which bounced around on top of
the
tucks and lace,
Miss Watson was wearing black
taffeta with trimmings of rose
chiffon and a rose chiffon scarf.
Miss Underwood r as wearing
blue taffeta, fashioiied with a
tight waist and full skir 5 ®^
Miss Gray was wearing red vel
vet and chiffon, fur trimmed.
Miss Bridges was wearing pink
chiffon shaded' to rose, trimmed I
in ermine.
Miss Mary Virginia Wilson was
wearing blue velvet with trim
mings of silver.
Miss Julia Homer Wilson was
.....
wearing white georgette.
midnight Miss Hammond blue was wearing J
georgette, heavily
beaded with cut steel beads.
Miss Norman’s gown of /shell
pink chiffon was embroidered in
pearls and crystals.
Miss Stallworth was wearing
red velvet with fur trimmings.
Miss Walker was wearing cana
ry yellow chiffon, the skirt fash
shoul-1 ■
ioned in petals. Around her
ders she wore a black Spanish lace I
shawl.
Miss Katherine Randall was
wearing black velvet with trim
mings of gold lace.
Miss Spalding was wearing pink
georgette trimmed in French
flowers.
Miss Brooks’ gown was of
peachblow chiffon and was trim
med in appliqued roses of Crystals
and silver.
Miss Henslee was wearing pink
chiffon over blue satin.
Miss Johnson was wearing or
chid satin, fashioned with a tight
waist and full skirt, with a band
fure. Can you imagine a flapper
of today dressing that way?
Now look at the dress of Anne
M. Wilson, another vivacious CO
quette of 1900. There is enough
changeable silk In her dress to
make two garments for the flapper
of today to wear, with more free
dom. Thvre la enough ribbon in
her bat to make two sashs 3 | for a
fat man and enough ornaments to
fill mother’s bureau drawer button
box to overflowing. And the watch
worn on the breast and read upside
down if one wasn’t stiff necked.
And the blouscy ’ sleeves and
high collar that wasn’t always a3
flexible as advertised and ori-times
scratched the neck right under ilia
ears or tickled. Not much comfort
ior a flapper in those garments, to
be sure. But have the girls who
introduce 1 the newest fashions
changed these past 25 years, or ii 3 s
it been just their garments?
Mr. Lloyd has faith in the mod-
of orchid maribou around the

and lace.
