FEW BUYERS VISITED PARIS Women Adopt the Upward Draped Skirt--Attractive Girlish Frock of Blue Taffeta--Chemise Robes je Cut Into Tunics. Eg HH New York.--The millions who are employed in the making of women's ap parel inthis country are disturbed by an important discussion that is golng on among themselves, It has to do with the importation of French clothes, with the prices asked for all kinds of apparel, with the threatened abolition of the famous French semiannual exhibitions, and with the tendency of the public to ask for American clothes. No woman should be ignorant of this situation, asserts a prominent fashion writer. On her shoulders, as an indi- vidual, which is part of a mass, rests much of the responsibility of the fu- ture. In France women are, the de- cisive factors in fashion; in this coun- try they have not assumed that role. With the exception of a few, they are willing to be led. They are guided by those in authority, thority are guided by Pa This is not true to the extent that the reformers and the crities preach. No one is any the for it. Our country has not been In a position to assume the leadership in fashions, any more than in art, architecture or liter ature, We have had to be led in all these things; yet the very man who goes to Paris and Italy for art is the first one to ask his wife why she Is foolish enough to adopt the French fashions! If, therefore, the American women were not free thinkers regarding clot#es, and were merely led into each fashion by a comfortable noose that was pulled along by the merchants and dressmakers, it was because they placidly felt that this was the best path in which they should tread. Since the war, however, there has been a growing feeling here of indepen- dence of Paris. All of us who firmly believed that no country could get along without the deciding vote of France as to what should be done ia clothes, realized, during the first years of the war, that our opinion was cor- rect. ris. worse Changes of Importance. ~ But the situation has changed, and our beliefs have changed with it.
