This being so, we are practically confined to the use of the softer materials, which is a great pity. But for the noise they make, the crisp and ciré silks would be ideal for the films.
Another serious handicap is, of course,

Even as lately as ten years ago, dresses for the films were generally hired, with the idea that being only needed for a day or two at most, 'strict economy 'must be observed.
All this is now changed. Nothing is now considered too good for the films, and the demand for the right clothes has given a new impetus to dress designing, But it has its difficulties. One of

This means that it is not enough to put the incest fashions into a film; the dresses must be in ad- vance-n forecast of what is to

Surfaces, also, are tremendously important, and effects can be gained by contrasts of dull and bright. As a rule the most effective tex- tures for the films are the bright Jones-shiny satin, motal tissues, and volvets with a sheen. Theno cntch the light and reflect it better than the dull surfaces.
Dress does not change, it evolves; and "fashion" is a cycle revolving, on more or less given lines, which can, to some extent, be anticipated by those closely associated with it. As an instance, everyone knew that the flare which last season was at the hips must inevitably descend to the knees, where it now. Bourishes!

Duce upon a time there was ♫ cobbler, who was so very poor that i often he had no food to eat from morning till night. Even at the best of times, he was glad to make a meal off a few dry crusts, and a tiny bit of hard cheese.
His home was a little hut at the end of the town. It was so old, that it was a wonder it did not tumble down about bis ears. Here he lived with his wife and daughter, who both had such bad tempors that they made him mora unhappy still.
