On his Harlequin.

A mannequin is a good-looking, admirably formed young lady, whose mission is to dress herself in her employer’s latest “creations,” and to impart to them the grace which only perfect forms can give. Her grammar may be bad, and her temper worse, but she must have the chic the Parisienne possesses, no matter whether she hails from the aristocratic Faubourg St. Germain or from the Faubourg Montmartre. [”The Bystander,” Aug. 15, 1906]

A couple observations about the easy chair on your homepage:

1.) It appears your right "cheek" is heavier than the left and

2.) Those are mannequins in the picture on the wall, aren't they? So you're a mannequin sympathizer, aren't you?
