engaged by the enterprising; tnaiui-
ers of 1 he New York unci Paris
Young- J,n lies' Fashion I5u,a.ir, to
contribute exclusively to the column-)
of that oular iiiag;aziiie.
All of them are well known in New
York, for their reputations have
preceded them. Mrs. Astor, the
Vanderbilts, Mrs. Cleveland and
Mrs. Marshall (). Roberts are among;
the soi iel3 lenders who have worn
the o-owns designed by these artists
During; ;m interview w ith a reporter
one of the designers said:
i-aris still leads the world of
fashion although Rugenie no
longer sits 011 the throne. Parisian
gowns have a style about them that
can not be equalled. That, I sup
pose, is the reason why we have
oeen eng-ag-ed to come to America
to teach the ladies of your beautiful
country, through the columns of
The New York and Paris Young La
dies' Fashion Uazaar, how these
wonderful creations of the dress
makers' art are constructed. It is
our business to design the liand
Romest and most fashionable gowns
lor the different seasons of the year.
These designs will be nrinted in
colors and will be accompanied by
such clear instructions as to the se
lection of muterials and the cutting
and fitting of the garments that 110
woman of sense will have the least
difficulty in making perfect fitlinir
gowns herself. It is a knack, a
science, to fashion a gown that will
make a very small and verv fleHv
j . j
lady appear slim. Not one designer
in a thousand can hit imon the (mo
lines unless he makes it the study
of a lifetime. You ought to see the
May number of our mairazine. We
have designs in it that will take the
hearts of the ladies by storm. They
do not get a new dress made up
every day, and I can tell you is is
an important item lo get the best
magazine, and the very latest and
most exquisite Paris styles, and
have it fashioned like the one that
is best suited to their figure."
