Those visiting any of the smarter restaurants of London are able to appreciate the truth of what visitors and travellers say, that London, now the most "brilliant" capital in Europe. It seems agreed that it is certainly the place where, in the evening, people dress most. In Paris the white shirt and the bare back or shoulder are getting increasingly rare, and great elegance at night is equally scarce in other cities. So far as I can see, it is chiefly the very young Londoners who do not wear evening dress. They are going to a film perhaps, or perhaps they cannot afford the more expensive dinner-rooms. So they frequent the galleries of clubs like the Embassy of Ciro's, the grills of the hotels and of such restaurants as Quaglino's, where there is accommodation for both evening and morning dress. For the dividing line is everywhere strict, and as yet no tailor has invented a male costume corresponding to the "adaptable" frocks women can wear now, thereby allowing them to pass, if they like, from grill to dancing floor, to reveal themselves as sheep in goats' clothing.
