stumes.--Progress levels national
differences, therefore the student must make the
most of opportunities to observe.--Experiences
in Hungary

XXVII MODELS 306

Historical interest attaches to fashions in
woman's costuming.--One of the missions of
art is to make subtle the obvious.--Examples as
seen in 1917

XXVIII WOMAN COSTUMED FOR HER WAR JOB 313

The Pageant of Life shows that woman has
played opposite man with consistency and success
throughout the ages.--Apropos of this, we
quote from Philadelphia _Public Ledger_, for
March 25, 1917, an impression of a woman of
to-day costumed appropriately to get efficiency
in her war work

IN CONCLUSION 324

A brief review of the chief points to be kept
in mind by those interested in the costuming
of woman so that she figures as a decorative
contribution to any setting
