EAHLY VIEW OF COMING MODES

! iulns Who Show Oft the
Costumes.
, PARIS, Sept. IS That the new tariff has
already had a distinct effect on the num
ber of costumes ordered by American
women is affirmed by one of the directors
of an establishment whose name la known
to every one of the sex which Is perfectly
willing to suffer If It may be beautiful.
'pl-ovldrti, however, that'the suffering does
r.nt entail obedience to what all over pur
chaplnv; Purls for the moment Is spoken
of hh an Iniquitous proceeding on the part
of lh home government. If feminine walls
could he curried acrcss the ocean It Is
llk. lv- thut a certain elasticity of procedure
would be Instituted at the custom house.
; "It Is always the way." she affirms
"philosophically, "when the American tariff
'goes thtoui'h Its usual rhango at the be-
ginning of nn administration. There Is a
j.ri!t hue and cry. The traveling publlo Is
jmnile frightfully uncomfortable for a time
'.a 'id the home voyage spoiled with the
pider of custom house Infection.
"Purchasers are wary and orders are
. less In number. But It It a situation which
docs not last. Just as soon as the sensa
, tlun blows over a few detentions and selx-
urcs have been widely advertised and the
government has shown Itself tremendously
.fpeir.etlc, tho furor dies out and affairs
l-o on Just the same.
"From the Parisian point of view this
continual change Is very unfortunate for
the American ladles. One of our customers
has voiced the sentiments of many by say
ing that lust as long as Paris can give
Iwomen more artistic costuming and a
wider range of selection of materials that
'cannot be secured In Anerica. Just so long
the buying will so on hero and the gov
ernment Is simply forcing Its citizens to
tricks ami deceiis. There Is no mora)
sense In the average feminine mind, I have
'dljcoiert d ' by many years dealing with
them. Alv customers tell me that every
char.ee tney can gel to take advantage of
ll ' government they will ndop."
The speaker Is connected with a dresa
n.aking establishment which has so many
orders, in spite ot the new tariff, that it

can scarcely fill them. It has been visited
In a line of march that haa covered much
Parisian territory and much time. Among
the house visited are Callot Soeurs,
Paquin, Doucet, Agnes, rrecoll, Worth
and others whose names are household
words to the dwellers of Lonely Gulch.
They are nearly all situated In the vicinity
of the boulevards and one can walk easily
from one to another. Several hours are
spei.t at each, for the exhibitions of th
coming season's fashions are no less In
teresting than the methods of display and
the people congregated to see them.
The salons of these establishments are
catalogued with other Parisian attractions,
with churches, picture galleries, theaters
and cafes. When one Is not admitted to
the openings It Is considered a great ad
vantage to have been allowed to make a
casual survey of the show rooms and other
public parts of the buildings. Louis
Qulnze and Seise styles prevail In most
of them and the principal salon leads to
other salons, some times a suite of four
or five rooms comprising the reception
part 1
These rooms are panelled with gold and
white. Rococo decorations and the flimsy
prettlnesses of Pompadour, Du Barry and
Marie Antoinette days are at their best;
draplngs and carpets are of expensive ma
terials, but neutral In tint, so that the
colors of the gowns shall not be spoiled by
contrast. The Inner curtains are usually
of real lace or made for the house ex
pressly. Mirrors line the walls extending
from floor to celling, and In these the re
flections of beautiful young women In
beautiful gowns, of costumes thrown hur
riedly over the arms of the "omnibuses,"
are repeated a hundredfold.
There Is one room panelled In gold and
white and the carpet is dove gray. Tht
walla, bas relieved with garlands ot roBes
In white and gold, are inset with bevelled
mirrors and the ceilings support enormous
chandeliers glistening with hundreds of
prisms. People walk about as If at a re
ception given to royalty. Gilded chairs,
tables of marquetry and enamelled wood
and velvet divans break the monotony of
splendor. There, are no ornaments, no bric-a-brac,
no pictures, nothing to distract
from the focus of attraction the exhibi
tion before the crowd of Invited guests
of the very last shriek of Paris modes.
The premieres which take place In these
establishments begin about the middle ot
August, and for the limited, number of In
vitations there is much competition and
wirepulling- Cards for the first days are
only sent to well known patrons, buyers
for houses whose favor means hundreds of
Ihouxauds of dollars each year, celebrated
dressmakers whose word is ultimate in
their home cities and to hociety women who
buy direct from Paris itself. In th.se as
seiubliis you may see a member of liuro
pean nobility, a wife ot an American mil
lionaire, hobnobbing with men and women
whose keen glances and crisp valuutlons
mark ;' i .r.:-1' i ?' adorn and the
reH.iiML..i..i a iuj placed in their
hands. Cards are more often refused than
granted, even to those whose demand for
an extra one would seem to be equivalent
to its receipt. When given the exact de
scription of the person for whom the In
vitation is required must be supplied. The
fear of having novelties copied and cWeap-
! ened before they are fairly on the market
j is reason enough for this excessive care.
' Thtre was a time when tnls rula was not
! strictly enforced, but experience teaches
in this as in other matters, and the easily
swinging doors of the houses of several
years ago are as unknown today as Is the
easy credit formerly obtainable by Ameri
can women of the wealthy class. The en
ormous bills that American dressmakers
allow their customers to contract are un
known In the old world. A limited credit
' la permitted only. If royalty has a greater
leeway the secret is careruliy guarded, and
tbe lUrtat that a woman will take away
her patronage and that of her friends, so
often made In the new world, haa less
than significance here.
The story that the Worth house was
saved years ago, when the combined at
tack on Its finances by the Franco-Prussian
war and the commune nearly de
stroyed It, by the order of an American
millionairess is still historic, but In the
same breath the director of the house who
admits this will not admit that the same
thlrg could happen today and states that
the fortunes of Spain and of the South
American countries, of Russia and of Asia
tic court circles pour into Its coffers with
a liberality as marked as that made no
torious by Americana.
"Let a stranger come to one of these
houses today, no matter how elegantly
gowned," says another manager Inter
viewed, "no matter with what display of
equipage or letters of introduction from In
fluential patrons, the short delay that Is
asked for while she waits In one of the
many reception rooms or Is engaged In
preliminary conversation with one and an
other of a courteous staff is really taken
advantage of to discover her exact status
by a method which is carried on here with
the perfection that marks the espionage
of the most watchful and tricky city in
the world.
"The recent panlo in America Is respon
sible for the Increased care displayed In
dealing with your wealthy class. Some of
the failures had far-reaching effects, as far
as the boulevards. At present all the
modistes keep In their business offices de
tailed memorandum concerning the finan
cial standing of every woman who buys
largely of the establishments In Paris, but
this custom is followed as well by Jewel
ers, furriers and even the antique dealera.
One American writer not long ago com
menting on this fact observed, Thus Is
the Bertillon system applied to society.' "
You think of what another writer has
said, giving modern Paris an accurate de
scription In calling it "the Market of Vani
ties," as you take your allotted seat in
one of the salons of a celebrated establish
ment on the occasion of one of these pre
mieres. It is half past 10 in the morning, an
early hour for fashionable women to be
visible, but there Is already a crush at the
door, nearly ever seat Is taken and a sug
gestion that in a few seconds the space
alloted to the standees will alsa be
crowded. On your way to your chair you
have had the pleasure of listening to the
arguments, entreaties and final Irritation
of a fashionably gowned woman nut un
known to the pages of "Who's Who," who
cannot believe that the mention of her
name will not be sufficient fur her admis
sion.
She suggests at length payment fur her
seat, a generous offer paralleling a pur
chase of an oivhecira chair fur the opeia.
This too is blandly refused. Hhe mentions
the names of a long list of purchasing
friends extending from New York to San
Francisco, but even the prestige of the ab
sent is insufficient to aid the present and
she has finally to aoce.pt defeat.
"If she would come back in a few days,"
says the voice of a Fifth avenue dress
maker at your elbow, "she could obtain
admission. The rules are relaxed, the
won't see Just the same gowns, but there
will be plenty of beautiful ones exhibited
then fur the second presentations. Of
course now only the very select ones are
on view. In some of the houses the Ger
man representatives are not shown the
models until tevtral days srter the Ameri
can clients, for the reason that their near
ness to Paris makes it possible for the
cohtumes to be copied Immediately and ex
hibited before the modes are fairly ac
cepted here." ,
The spectators admitted to this function
show an unconcealed Interest. If a new
play of a popular author was to be given
the faces would not be more animated or
expectant. People stand about the walls
and in packed corners for hours without
showing fatigue. Women are In the ma
jority, but a fair sprinkling of men separ
ate the mass.
They are mostly of the commercial class,
buyers, representatives of celebrated
houses In Europe and America and a few
of the leisure class, who have risked (he
ennui of a morning with wife or Bister
to catch a glimpse of the celebrated
mannequins on duty girls who are famed
for some special beauty of face, figure or
grace. If not Including in their equipment
of feminine accomplishments all three.
The hush that precedes the entrance of
the first mannequin resembles that which
preoeds the rising of the curtain on the
opening act of a much-advertised play. The
only space left In the suite of rooms Is the
aisle through which the girls are to walk,
and In addition to the guests are many
members of the dressmaking staff, who
have come from fitting and finishing rooms
to note if every detail is correct. They
carry their weapons, of office, long shears
and spools of thread, pencils and pins,
their workaday skirts and pluln blouses
are covered with aprons, tnerr hair Is
neatly, but not fashionably, arranged and
their figures are In striking contrast to
those of tha impels, and yet your guide
explains that a position of this kind in the
establishments is often the outcome ot a
beginning there as a mannequin. .
This may explain the look of Intent In
terest on their faces as they watch the
procession of beautiful girls and note the
ohsl and ahsl of admiration which fre
quently break the silence. At other times
the staff shows to the studious glance the
Indescribable knowing manner of the
Parisian business women, who, with cold,
level glances, appraises your exact finan
cial value and with courteous words and
smiling lips that belle the glance compli
ments you for your residence on the planel
while she permits you to see the absolute
Inutility of attempting to get the best of
ti alned Judgment In any particular.
The mannequins enter the room with
the peculiar gliding walk that Is learned
in the show rooms. It Is designed to ex
hibit every artistic line of the costume,
every aesthetic draping of material. It Is
as distinct In Its way as the wnlk of the
spear girt in a musical comedy and once
learned Is never after forgotten.
Charming as the gowns are you are les
interested fur the moment In them than
you are in the wearers, whose manner is
as perfect in technique as if gained by the
instruction of a stage directir. In spite of
the fact that even the dinner and ball
gowns are shown In the daylight rather
than by artificial light the manneeiuins
are all made up, the lips heavily crimsoned,
the eyes blackened, the brows delicately
pencilled.
There Is no rule of coiffure established;
each face and style Is studied and the
hair arranged to suit. One has a multi
plicity of little curls and puffs through
which garlands of ribbon or flowers or
perhaps a flat wreath of ivy leaves is run.
One is simply arranged In the style made
famous by Cleo de Me rode; one head la
wound about with strands of loose hair,
a late novelty ut hair dressing, another
has the equally, popular braid, a profusion
of puffs and not the slightest vestige of
the pompadour, which seems to have lost
its popularity although it is by no means
rigidly excluded.
The girls walk about the rooms slowly
and without apparent knowledge that
they are scanned admiringly, curiously,
pitilessly, as the case may be. fume
times they walk close to you and stand
for a full minute with wide open eyes,
absolutely devoid of expression, looking
Into yours, an4 then turn slowly and walk
away. It la noted that some of the French
men, blase as they are, look a little em
barassed by this unexpected attention.
One of the mannequins, a figure with
soft plumpness and childish contour of
face, weara only debutante gowns and
changes from ono to another with the
usual rapidity of these establishments
where perhaps five hundred costumes are
exhibited by a soore and a half of girls
at a prmleera. One time she appears
In a full skirt of tulle made over rose
satin; down the panel of the front semi
wreaths of rosebuds are fastened at regu
lar intervals, clusters of rosebuds are
In the full flounce at the edge of the skirt
and the corsage, slightly low cut Is simi
larly decorated. In the golden hair a
wreath of rosebuds follows out the girlish
effect. She carries in her hand a white
chiffon scarf hand painted with tiny rose
buds. A. tall, stately young woman, wears
regally the gorgeous opera coats; whose
elaboration of wonderful linings and ma
terials of one thickness of chiffon over
another, each a different shade so that a
peculiar mother of pearl effect Is produced,
seem to strike about the highest note
possible in beauty and delicacy of design.
Some of the coats are of velvet reaching
to the edge of the train, with exquisite
linglng of contrasting or harmonising
satins, trimmed richly with fur, and heavy
as the material Is and though made with
a generosity of design, a peculiarly cling
ing effect Is obtained. It is an effect which
seems to run through every style of gar
ment for while the sheathlike dress seems
to have had Its day and fullness of skirt
Is revived, there Is yet preserved with
wonderful skill the graceful appearance of
the adhesive gowns.
One of the most beautiful girls Is spoken
of by your guide as the teagown manne
quin. She Is voluptous, dreamy eyed.
Her floating walk Is the perfection of
grace. The negligees she displays so
effectively are Impossible to describe. They
are creations of wonderful tulles and soft
silks and moussellnes.
The laces are exquisite enough for a
queen a wardrobe and the piicen suggest
the same destination. One is nf h snft
mauve with clouds of rosy tulle draped
over It and the mauve lining, itself lined,
shows while the mannequin steps softly
about, little touches of pale green. The
price is J1.000. and you are asked by your
guide If you do not consider ila bargain.
Wliile this special establishment does
not deal to any extent in lallor made suits
a few are shown; one especially likable is
of a soft grayish green tweed Willi loii;
coat almost to the edge of the skirt; and
the big collar Is of the Napoleon, directolre
type. The sklit shows the French disin
clination to encumber the figuie wall b.lts
and buckles, especially when the cotume
is of the rigid, severe style. It continues
the style of the spring and summer in
making the belt a superfluity l.y the height
of the skirt.
The evening gowns are worn by a young
girl, whose hair is simply parlid and rolled
back from her forehead, this simplicity
ending, howeer. in an elabuiation of
puffs and curls at the back. It Is orna
mented with a black velvet ribbon aid
with nearly all the gowns she wear a
short necklace nf black beads, cut jet,
which makes a striking contrast with the
pastel colors of which most of the gowns
are made.

noon whose fullness of skut is taught in
by a sash about the knees, so that only
very short steps can be taken, Inquiries
how it would be possible fur a woman to
wear that style and board a Broadway
car. The Frenchwoman to whom he la
addressing his Interrogation looks at him
Inquiringly.
"Tram, I mean," he explains.
"Tram, monsieur? But the French
women do not ride on trama."
A aylph of a girl, one of the most beau
ful of the mannequins, who wears a gray
chiffon evening gown which looks as If
hundreds of yards of the soft material
were draped about her without the use
of a single snip of the shears, la stopped
by a stout German women who la at
tended by a grizzled personage of middle
age whose old fashioned devotion to her
does not prvent hlB taking an Interest
which Is scarcely fatherly in its seeming, of
tho pretty mannequins. They are explained
to be of the Imperial family of Austria.
The woman has on a short skirt which
unconsciously follows the new fashion of
fullness about the waistband. Her corsage
Is of heavy cream satin covered with bro
caded roses and her hat to the American
eye looks like a cross between a Jeffer
son market vegetable stall and a Grand
street bargain In "trims." She notices
her husband's admiration and that ap
parently nails a moment of Indecision, for
after asking the mannequin to raise her
arms, to walk backward and to stand here
and there, she orders a duplicate gown
made for herself.

thing as a "rational" dress designed for
the coming modes nd that the dresses
for the winter are more feminine than ever.

Robert A. Mathewson spent an exciting
half hour on the flooor of his barn in South

because his head was on one side of the

behind his head were the floor and the
