     I am relieved that Effie and her fellow Scotswomen do not wear kilts (the mistake made by the majority of today’s “Sylphide” productions), but their empire-line dresses seem to have been purchased in Jane Austen’s Bath, suggesting that this Scottish farmstead houses many more ultragenteel young ladies than we can really credit.
