It seems there's a Bulgarian by the name of Metchnikoff in Paris who sits down and designs these things — the buttermilk, you know, not the blouses.
Isn't science wonderful — simply WONDERFUL!
We're going to take up Metchnikoff in a serious way.
You know what he aims to do is to lengthen life.
The question is: "Should life be lengthened?
Or should it not?
The Leaders of Thought will have to thresh that out soon.
The question of old age is a subtle one, isn't it?
And it's very typical of our times, don't you think, that we should discuss the problems of old age?
Other epochs have done it, of course, but not optimistically.
The question enters into everything — even millinery.
I'm having the loveliest hat adapted from a French model — to wear with my lingerie costumes, you know — a wide-brimmed black lace with a black velvet crown.
