Eve and the New Furs.

Eve is a great admirer of the new voluminous high-collared fur cloak, but finds it impossible to see—much less appreciate—the dinky tassels on her new boots

She also finds her friends have the greatest difficulty in recognising her, and that Tou-Tou is continually getting lost

Furthermore, these high collars make it necessary for Jack and Tommy to feed her when she goes to tea with them at the Savoy. (Doesn’t it make a pathetic and appealing picture?)

One advantage, however, is that when Johnny Slacker, Mr. Bore, or anyone horrid heaves in sight she can retire without danger of recognition

Eve adores the ferocious masks which adorned the muffs of the truly fashionable last winter. But the above tragic incident, which shows a convalescent V.C. fainting in sheer terror at the sudden appearance of our heroine—and muff—has considerably shaken her pleasure in her hand warmer

Eve is “simply mad” over the way Gertie Millar does her hair in the Gollywog song at the Palace Theatre. She tried it, went to the theatre, and found herself the centre of interest from all sides and abuse from the back
