...imagine what a furor this news will cause in the "What the Well-Dressed Man Will Wear" columns in Vanity Fair and theatre programs. Having missed being the heralds of a new age, Cholly Knickerbocker and Beaunash will probably commit suicide. It may soon become the fashion for engaged Columbia couples to exchange compacts at Christmas, perfectly assured that their presents will satisfy; and, beyond doubt, everyone will be rejoiced to see some saint in the compacts which haberdashers have always had on display along with perfume sprays and manicure sets...
