Beech Leaves For Decoration.

the niches to cast an unearthly

glow upon the leaves and to create. amusing shadows.

"HARNESSING" IN EVENING DRESS.

The Shame Of Natural Complexion.

· Evening dress has had a curious effect upon the day world. It has Imposed its conventions upon it in exaggerated_form and itself has taken to harness and Elizabethan-. iam. Make-up, which suggested footlights, then eveninge, has at- tached itself inseparably to the day complexion.

Blande wigs which belonged to the stage came to grow, if un- naturally, upon any everyday pato. Both, instead of being an inde lible share if discovered not to be natural, are now discussed with price Hats for producing the effect. The chief interest of the head and face is to discover or try to remem- bar what it originally was.

Even those who are born with the right colourings have to pre- tend that they have paid for them In order to be in the movement. Thus evening dress, shorn of its own particularities, has gone in search of others. It moulds the form, where no form is; it displays stand-up collars and stand-up epaulettes in a manner suggestive of Elizabethan ruffs: and it assumes above all, a harness vogue, into which It takes a good deal of skill to enter.
