Woman As Decoration Is Intended As A Sequel To _The Art Of Interior Decoration_ (Grace Wood And Emily Burbank). Having Assisted In Setting The Stage For Woman, The Next Logical Step Is The Consideration Of Woman, Herself, As An Important Factor In The Decorative Scheme Of Any Setting,--The Vital Spark To Animate All Interior Decoration, Private Or Public. The Book In Hand Is Intended As A Brief Guide For The Woman Who Would Understand Her Own Type,--Make The Most Of It, And Know How Simple A Matter It Is To Be Decorative If She Will But Master The Few Rules Underlying All Successful Dressing. As The Costuming Of Woman Is An Art, The History Of That Art Must Be Known--To A Certain Extent--By One Who Would Be An Intelligent Student Of Our Subject. With The Assistance Of Thirty-Three Illustrations To Throw Light Upon The Text, We Have Tried To Tell The Beguiling Story Of Decorative Woman, As She Appears In Frescoes And Bas Reliefs Of Ancient Egypt, On Greek Vases, The Gothic Woman In Tapestry And Stained Glass, Woman In Painting, Stucco And Tapestry Of The Renaissance, Seventeenth, Eighteenth And Nineteenth Century Woman In Portraits. Contemporary Woman's Costume Is Considered, Not As Fashion, But As Decorative Line And Colour, A Distinct Contribution To The Interior Decoration Of Her Own Home Or Other Setting. In This Department, Woman Is Given Suggestions As To The Costuming Of Herself, Beautifully And Appropriately, In The Ball-Room, At The Opera, In Her Boudoir, Sun-Room Or On Her Shaded Porch; In Her Garden; When Driving Her Own Car; By The Sea, Or On The Ice.

When the train pulled out from home and I saw that crowd of loving, tearful faces fading away, I believe that for a few moments I realized the actual bitterness of death! I was leaving everything that was dear to me on earth, and going out into the dark unknown, alone. [more]
