In my scheme of things ; there Is no place for disharmonies, and a woman and x " j her dress should fit In as much In one place as In an .-! sl other. But perhaps the one place where woman should 1 A be most harmonioag with her surroundings is at the , - 11 opera or the play. - ... i -V- I mean that the spirit of the opera or the play should r'"' , be considered by a woman In choosing the dress for , . that particular occasion. There should be a harmony ' on both sides of the footlights. How much the crea tion of such an atmosphere would enhance the artistry and the enjoyment of the whole production! And it also makes a woman feel "more comfortable In herself." How Incongruous it is to go to a tragedy I never. do, but I can Imagine and see all around us fluffy, gaily dressed people! And how depressing de-pressing to go to a real blithesome, jolly "show" and be surrounded by people whose clothes radiate either soberness or tenser things! If a woman goes to see "Aida," for Instance, there should be something of Egypt In her dress. If she goes to see "Amore del Tre Re," there should be a suggestion of the Mediaeval. You see what I mean? This large figure, for instance. Is 'a harmony gown that comes within my meaning. It is of peacock blue, trimmed with gold lace. The sash. Is an Oriental colored brocade, and the coatee is made of the same, lined with peacock green satin. Skunk fur edges the sleeves of this coat, also the neck , of the waist. The sleeves of the waist are transparent, being trimmed with liemstltcked bands of blue, -green and scarlet. Touches of red, emerald green and citron are In the tassels. The headdress Is a band of Oriental colors in all shades of reds and blues and yellows and greens. And here also are some evening coats which also illustrates my meaning. The beautiful coat in the lower left-hand corner of the page is of ermine, trimmed with black fox. Ermine tails edge the collar all the way around, as well as the bottom of the coat. Such a coat Is a 'wonderful garment to wear to some clever comedy of manriers for, of course, coats should be as harmonious as dresses. The third picture shows a coat .of sapphlre-blufa sapphlre-blufa satin, lined with green blue, and has sleeves in a green-blue and emerald-green and 6ilver brocade The cuffs and collar have bands of Jeunnette fur, and the long ties In the front are of the same broradc ?.s i:j fhe sleeves. tojiyrlthl, 1919, lij Uie Sur CoK'Dluy Great Britain JtljllU ftcseiied. trlmmeu witn yellow and red.

I am particularly interested in headdresses. "Wlhen- V ever I create an evening gown I instinctively ; design an ornament for the coiffure which should be worn with that gown. And here my , t-j' sense of the harmonies is of great value. .Never, ('V:;A for instance, would I design a Greek filet to be f ' ; 1 worn with an Egyptian gown. Never should VS an Oriental headdress, all Jewels and hammered v,f ' , metals, be worn with an Ingenue frock.
