A well-dressed, imperious woman is seated in a chair, with her feet on a cushion, holding a scepter and a paper that states, “Fashion’s Decrees for Summer Resorts.” Among the rules are the following: “Ladies must wear at least three costumes a day,” and “Good form requires every lady to have a maid and every gentleman a valet.” After listing the rules, it ends with “Style First, Comfort Afterwards.” On the left are idle workers at an empty “American Summer Hotel,” and on the right, crowds of travelers pass through terminals to board steamships headed “To Europe.” Caption: Dame fashion’s foolish and expensive rules are responsible for the increasing exodus to Europe and the empty summer hotels in America.
