 THE DIFFICULT DECISION

"But the thing to remember is that the french [sic] know the difference between a fashion and something that is being done that is not a fashion, some people follow everything but the french have a delicate sense, they know what is a fashion and what is not a fashion." 


Gertrude Stein, Paris France, 1940.
