12 RULES FOR WOMEN

Captain Edward Molyneux, the Englishman who makes Paris fashions has given the women of Berlin the following 12 rules to observe if they want to be fashionable. (1) The elegant woman has no knees. She can have them only when she bathes. (2) The dresses of the Berlin women are far too short. (3) Ankles are only allowed during the afternoon. ’ (4) The “Eton boy” type belongs to the past, with the crinoline and the powdered wig. (5) The re-birth of the quite short skirt is out of the question. (6) Big, bigger, and very big hats will shade the elegant woman of the world. (7) For the morning, beige tweeds, with pleated skirts and mantles to go with them. (8) Black-and-whites dominate the afternoon, in georgettes and other supple stuffs. (9) In the evenings a riot of colour in Greek lines. (10) With the evening gown very elegant flesh-colour gloves. (11) The hair in feminine waves, with curls which cover the of the neck, but no Greta Garbo coiffure. (12) Bright chiffons for summer evening gowns.
