and dressmaker. The recent advance In
price of certain kind of dress trimming
precipitated the remark.

Tha gown was a-no ft and clinging bro
cade of a shade that you could call nothing
but green, yet It had strange alluring lights
In, it aa dm caught glimpses of the silk
through ,the rich , old laoe shawl which
covered (the front and aides almost to the
knees and fell In a. long point over the train.
The ends of the ahawl were caught hp on
the shaUHIers. There It was, one of those
handsome pieces, .of lace that dpsens of
women .have had atoied away for years,
and vndet the skilful fingers of the French
dressmaker it had become a distinctly
fashipnaUe trimming.
'.,.' What It Flgares Vt.
"TrjM rjiodel cost , me exactly 1700, duty
Included, i and I could not duplicate' the
gown Ih; 'cheaper materials for the same
money' unless I knw where to get on of
these 'shawls, said the dressmaker. "There
tf but a few. of them to.be had because
French dressmakers' .agents have been
scouring this country as well as their own
fbrjtioftth's buying them up right under our
noses .With the Intention of using them In
this fashion and making them the smart
thing of the moment. v
"If a woman had brought me such an
heirloom months. aro'and had . offered it
foi; hjnie the original cost or even less 1
would probably have refused It. In the
first place the lace' when genuine and
u'ntlqoe looks a .bit faded. I . should ' not
dare to' put It on a handsome ' evening
gown without the approval of the Parisian
fashion creator, but when Paris makes
these shawls fashionable It la almost Im
possible to get hold of one.
'Thl shows you the Ingenuity and fore
sight Of the French. They get, together
when' It Is time to plan the next season's,
fashion and decide,- to. push chantllly
draped evening dresses, let us say. Through
agents they purchase all the antique chan-.
tflljr; ahttwls to be found at home, or over
here.) "They take them from right under
our notes and we are helpless to prevent

'""A Puson,: or It" may be a year.' or two
later, there are practically no shawla in
tile market: They are all veiling handsome
French evening dresses. ' ; '

Pari Has the fthawla. .. . .
"The French fashion .creator wjio sells to
American dressmakers must Ije able, to sup
ply several duplicate of a model, and ,lf he
he one to show with chantllly lace drap
ery he must be' able to reproduce It If a
buyer like it And the buyer must pay the
advanoed price demanded because chan
tflly laoe shawls are scarce; because, in
fact. Pari has them ail.
"You cannot 'substitute strips or sections
of lace and get this same delightfully grace
ful effect on a gown. The model calls for
this long pointed drapery at one aide and
the ends-reaching to the shoulders. We
cannot reproduce the model "without the
laee- ploe,.so we are compelled to pay any
price demanded for a 'shawl if a customer
wants us to copy the gown. ' " ' -
""Cornering the' chantllly' lace' ' shawl
market leia much les serious matter, how
ever, thari cornering the fur tnarrket."rOrfry
few women desire this particular evening
gown,' but every New York woman, a
well . as every woman elsewheVe in this
country who keeps up with the latest nov'
elites, Insists on having a coat a neckpiece
and muff o trimming f the particular kind
of fur that la sent out by Parisian houses
as the very latest cry In smartness.'
"Mo that thousands of women feel the ef
fects of a corner In, the fur market. Year
after iear when If Is announced from Paris
tbat a oertatn kind of pelt Is to be the fash
ionable fur for the winter we. buy back at
a much higher price quantities of fur that
we iiave sold to the market operators a year
or two earlier. '.'.,..

"This year they say that you cannot
buy an opossum tor love or money be
cause' the Knglish and the French furriers
li.v been collecting skins In every state
. where the little animal Is found. And as
the ae anon advances opossum will be the
smart fur and Its prices will soar far be- j
yvnd that for which It could have been
purchased lust wthter.
"The Billy 'possum Is said to be respon
sible for the fun erase' of the coming sea
sen. European furriers heard so much
about' the American animal 'that it set
thetil'td thinking- and then' they'ralmly
proceeded to get hold of all the available
opossum fur. The opossum fud promises
to -surpass the squirrel or the ermine fad
ef tow seasons- ago.
. "I, cannot say what the price of opoa
aunuwtll be: it a too early yet for this
style; of fur -to be actually launched on the
market- lut it will nut be cheap, and
It. 1 tulug i held back for an appearance
