Then why should the naturally beautiful American girl outrage Nature by dyeing her hair?
Does she not know that the colour of the hair is designed to be a part of an ensemble Nature has provided for each individual, therefore the only shade suitable to the complexion and colour of the eyes?

These tendencies produced a shock to Patou's aesthetic sense, as he noted them on his arrival, but worse was yet to come.
He observed with amazement | young society girls dancing with their cheeks against the cheeks of their partners, while their lower extremities trailed some distance behind.
Moreover, he found a genuine danger in the "charming, but very alarming" habit of careless kick- ing as practised by youthful dan- cers in America.
"I think," he said, it would be better to regulate the traffic in crowded ballrooms with rules as strict as those applied to motor-" cars. It is indeed necessary.

At her right is Richard Arlen, whose embrace of Miss Carroll brings the picture to a close. You would never tell from the sketch that in the picture he plays a studious young man who writes a Greek tragedy in seven acts, an epilogue, a prologue' in verse.
