"In this book we are studying the Costumes of 'The Gay Nienties" and those of "the Turn of the Century", since they are so closely associated both in style and design. We are describing colors and fabrics of the actual Costumes, most of which are in the private collection of the author. They are of extraordinary elegance as this was a period during which the art of clothes design reached a high water mark of perfection. Music has always played an integral part in American folk lore. As every Costume brings to mind some old loved melody, we have asociated Costumes and Songs throughout the book".
