INCONSISTENT.
While the rest of English, women-folk nave been favouring moro and more elaborate styles and • fabrics, one English beauty has been advocating a. return to the simplicity of Greek dress. This is Miss Lilla M'Carthy, the actress whom many Australians will remember as a member of Mr. Wilson Barrett's "Sign of the Cross" company. Miss H'Carthy suggests that tho Greek style would be especially suitable for the working girl, owingj to its cheapness. All tho worker would have to do would be to.get a simple dress made, something like a Magyar blouse, but continued lower down to the ankles instead of stopping at the waist. For tho drapery sho would buy four yards of material of any colour sho pleased, and wind it around her. Instead of a hat, a piece of light drapery could be tied around the much as irirls wthr motor-veils around their heads (it the seaside. The obvious question is, why does not Miss M'Carthy.set tho fashion? The actress was asked. Her reply was*characteristic of the sex. "Oh, but I love modern fashions, too." ,
