138 Pauline Frederick finished in front by a graceful sash drapery falling Egyptian fashion from the waist to below the vandyked hem. Over this is a mantle train of azalea rose georgette and gold lace sewn with rose flowers, which has simulated sleeves of rose color and a center panel of vivid Chinese green. This robe is exchanged for a slender dinner gown of chalk white georgette traced with lines and medallions of shimmering silver. Sleeveless and ankle length the straight line unbroken except by an inlet godet panel in the center front, which falls in rippling silver lines from a diamond waist clasp." The visit to Australia touched Pauline so much and instead of making her conceited, all this homage made her feel so humble for she knew that it was very genuine. It seemed to make up for so many of the heartaches that fame had brought her. All her disappointments over poor pictures in recent years, seemed now to be compensated for. It had healed a wound and removed all bitterness from her heart so that she would not mind whatever might come in the future, for the memory of this Australian tour would always remain. It concluded as it had begun, with demonstrations that went right to her heart. She hated to leave those hospitable shores but with her went so many mementoes, for she had been showered with gifts. The journey home gave her a welcome and much needed rest which it is as well that she took, for there were further triumphs ahead.
