L - What Leon Bakst Says of
2/t
< Women and Clothes
K § Madame Savarie and her associates (the Wooltex
.5 Style Bureau in Europe) write or cable almost every
’== day the latest news of reigning style features.
‘ A recent interview Wlt!l Leon Bakst, the famous Russian
artist, i 8 extremely interesting.
There is probably no man living who has had a greater in
fluence on modern styles than Leon Bakst, who first emerged
into the limelight of European publicity through the marvel
ouslv artistic and daring dresses he designed for the Russian
Ballet. . ]
In his pictures he unites the Russian love for barbarian
color effeet with the originality of line of Aubrey Beardsley.
Heedless of existing eolor conventions, he combines colors
with a daring that takes the breath away.
e is the first theatrieal dress designer of the day; he is*
the vogue in half a dozen European capitals, yet success has in
no way spoilt this dapper, sandy-haired man, with the deli
cate, expressive hands.
“Tach eountry ought to have its
own character in dress, and it is un
fortunate that feminine fashions
should mow be so non-national,”’
said M. Leon Bakst.
“1f only women would " realize
how unfortunate it is. The women
ol society are too cosmopolitan in
the matter of dress, and this is a
purcly modern error.’”
Monsieur Bakst has not been in
America, so he contrasted French
fashions which are designed upon
Freneh types of figures with what
he sees in England. But inasmuch
as American women are.much more
nearly like English women in figure
than they are like French women,
much of what he says about what
Enghish women look best in, applies
to American women no less.
“Yach nationality has its type,”’
says Monsieur Bakst, ‘‘and the art
of the costumer must be to devise
creations in keeping with that type.
Furthermore, we must remember
climate. Does one expeet the out
door fashion for Paris or for the
south of Franee to suit London?’’
Jl{“ swiled and shrugged his shoul
aers, .
“I speak as a painter,”” he went
on. “*When I look'at an eighteenth
century portrait of the English
grand lady of the period—a portrait
by Gainsborough, for instance—l

over the whole theory of English
- modes. : :
“In the cighteenth ecentury ‘an
Englishwoman’s gown was mani
festly not a Frenchwoman’s. Ob
serve those magnificent Gainsbor
ough hats. Let me remark, en pas
sant, that were I bold enough to ad
vise the ladies of England, I should
murmur, ‘Large hats, if you
please.’ e
Many years ago a great painter
said, long before Bfikst was heard
of, that every woman is a beauty, if
vou give her shadows enough. Lit
tle hats give no shadows.
““It is a mere personal opinion; I
give it for what it is worth.”” M.
Bakst is diffident.
“But I feel that the English type
demands for the completeness of
the effect of a walking costume, a
large hat. I confess lam an enemy
of the small-brimmed hats, and
more or less close-fitting caps, of
which I see so many at the mo
ment.”’
Monsieur Bakst says: ‘‘The char
acter of what we call the silhouette
must forever be borne in mind. In
costume designing, the ‘silhouette
anglaise’—the English feminine
profile, the outline—demands a line
much more tranquil and majestic
than that which is liked in Paris,
where the figure is more svelte, and
where there is a fondness for, what
shall I say %—Le type, frou-frou.

It Is Every Woman’s Right To Be
- Beautiful and Charming
Correct and Becoming Costuming Play .a Very Impor
tant Part In Making Her So
If “‘ clothes make the man,”” it is equally true that right dressing helps woman to
her best expression of self. _v
How Clothes Make the Woman. ,
Did you ever stop to consider the mental and moral effect of an unbecoming
gown, an ill-fitting collar, a down-trodden pair of shoes? They mnot only throw a
woman’s walk out of gear—they do also her mental balance. They make her ill-at
ease. and the ill-at-case woman is never able to exert charm or express the best
that isin her. : e
Few women are able to rise above the feeling of being ill or inappropriately
dressed, while correct gowning makes one capable and magnetic, frees the mind
from anxiety and brings one into harmony with one’s surroundings.
The Most Important Question of
.
the Moment—Suits
There are so many—the styles are so varied; and the touch of - :
individuality is so deftly imparted that selection is easy and pleas
ing. : ' ‘ 2
The suits for this season are particularly ¢“fetching.”” Jaunty ~
little short coats, some with belts—real or simulated—across the- @
back, with raglan or set-in sleeves; some with novelty collar and - ]
cuffs—some very dressy, lace trimmed. i ‘
Made up from beautiful materials: Wool Walrus ecrepes, silk ‘ 7
erepes, silk poplins, wool novelties and serges. Pretty French ' "
blues, Copenhagen, wistaria, tango, greens, tans, brown and black: P
Linings play a very important part this season. Some of these
little coats are lined with pompadour silks in small rose designs, 5
the same material forming a vest—others are lned with vich satin. |
If you are a good judge of fabries you will recognize how un
usual these Suits are at the prices quoted.

Nemo Kopservice Corsets
The wish to be stylish is a worthy feminine trait.
No doubt most women would like to have the so-called
“corsetless” figure. Many have tried to attain it, and
given it up in pain and disgust. Why? G -
Because, until now, corsets intended to give the igy
“natural figure’’ have been mere makeshifts—uncom- !
fortable, physically dangeroug; and, if worn for some
time, sure to distort the figure permanently.
Nemo Kopservice Corsets Have Solved the Problem. C R
This newly invented and novel construction, with . &
double-front device and the liberal use of the durable i/ e
Nemo semi-clastic fabries, produces a perfeet ‘“corsetless’’ \\ ‘
effect, while retaining ail the hygieni¢ support that has e iy 44
made the Nemo world-famous. [ |
Every woman, from slight to stouf, may now have a [
rational ‘‘corsetless’’ figure without discomfort, health- &
peril, or danger of spoiling her figure beyond' repair. \ )
