■ . /
iBY Mme. Ida Jolles
All of us appreciate the constant change
that is the rule in the world of fact,;/
too few, perhaps, realize what is behind
such change, or what change marks the
| inauguration of a true style departure.
The fact is that the best style is the style
that best expresses purpose. This is true
whether you deal with automobiles or the important ac
cessories of women’s dress. Whether it’s a car or a hand
bag, it must have logic as well as loveliness if it hopes to
start a style.
Personally, I expect automobile design to embark upon a
new road in the very near future. Too much attention of
late, has been going to the detail of decoration and too litti e
to expressing the constant improvement that has been
marked in automobile construction.
From all I hear, the car most likely to establish such a new
style cycle appears to be the new Buick which will soon be
announced. Reports that reach me point it out as some
thing that derives its smartness from its improvement in
functional design. That will be sufficient to make it a car
that At last starts us on a new style cycle.
