American Fashions for American Women
By Donoqcinr dec.
,A campaign that should have the sup-
port ot every intelligent -woman, in. the
land has been inaugurated by Mr. Edward
Bok for the suppression of the Paris
label on gowns and hats, and the sub
stitution therfor of
the hom grown
one. ,
The. battle cry of
this holy war Is
"American fash
Ions for American
women." Its ap
peal is to tho good
tense, tho 'pockot
book and the pat
riotism of the wo
men of the coun
try, and here's
wishing the new
"erusade success,
and that the time
will not bo far
distant when a
respectable Ameri
can woman will no more think of getting
her clothes from Paris than she does
her morals from there.
$?Too lonsr have we been under tle
.thralldom of the fallacious idea that
partorlal glory not only originated in
Parish but stayed there, and that because
fe- dreis or s hat was made in Par'fs it
'was Ou'nd'to be a, marvel of beauty and
(tBBteinnd have points of excellence,
's'bout it that no other dress or hat made
'.elsewhere, and especially in America,
oould possess. Paris has had us hypno.
tlzed to that degree that we have taken
whatever she handed out, and have worn
It, no matter what freaks It made us look
Hkc1, without daring to criticise or ques
, lion.
Ihit the time has come for us to make
h few p'asses at ourselves and wake up,
"nd face tho. truth, ano that Is that the
ripcrlatlvo artistic touch of the French
tressmaker and milliner Is nothing but
a mytti,. and -that there Is no other such
Sloppy .dressmaking-, extant, as that exe
cuted on the'banks of the Seine, and, thai

Our blind devotion to tho French fash

when wo get tho real artlclo tnai is ac
tually made in Paris, but it becomes
protcsquely humorous -when we find
women willing to pay nearly double for

York, or Chicago, or Philadelphia be
cause It haa a bogus Paris label sewed
on it. Tet they do this every day, and 90
per cent ot the "Imported" clothes for
which women spend their husband's good
money were Imported from Sixth avenuo,
ind are no nearer French than is tho
French accent ot the Mary O'Gradys,
nd Sally Jonses, who masquerade as
"Madame Therese," or "Clothllde," or
"Fiflne."
Itecontly a pawn shop that was in
vestigated by the police In this city was
found to havo tens ot thousands of tho
labels of celebrated French dressmakers
and milliners that it sold to enterprising
dressmakers and milliners here. Further,
a man Interested lh this subject was told
by the head of b large millinery house
in this city that SO per cent of his Im
ported French models -were made right
in his own workroom, and the French
labels pasted in.
Xow there Is no use in blaming the
merchants for this duplicity. The fault
Is with tho woman. They demand French
goods and they aro supplied with what
Ihey ask for. If they would ask for
' American-made hats and gowns, the
merchant would be glad to furnlsli them.
Nobody leads the double life for choice.
Of course, in millinery and dressmaking,

Mr. Devery would say. And that Amerl-
caji milliners and dressmakers can de
liver the goods is sufficiently proven by
the fact that this substitution of the
domestic article for the foreign ono goes
merrily on, and women are perfectly
satisfied- to pay the Paris price for a
homc-mado dress or hat provided they

and the woman's clubs can do no more
effective work or patriotic work than In
bringing to bear thelc , tremendous Influ

that decadent Paris, and not Inventive
and young America, is capable of properly
clothing American women of refinement
and taste.
We like to boast that-we are the most
Ingenious people in tho world, tho most
practical, the quickest to see a need, And
to supply it, and this being the case we
stultify ourselves if wo admit that wo
have nobody among us capable of ori

tiful and. harmonious lines, and composed
of artistic combinations ot colors.

Also because American women refused
to wear tho clumsy and Ulflttlng foreign
shoes, the American Bhoe has the earth
for Its own, and on the most fashionable
shopping streets In London and Paris
thero are huge signs which proclaim
"American Shoes Sold Here."
It is absurd to say that we can't mako
as pretty hats and gowns as are made
anywhere else in tho civilised world. We
do, But wo sell them under a irrencn
label, at a higher price, than, if they had
their own honest American trade-marK

a brief relaxation. The cold eye of his

Miuiam Henrietta Peave, who Is an
American, despite her foreign name, is
snld by many to be the handsomest busi
ness woman In New York, and It was to
this pretty and successful young woman
that I put the question; "When Is a lie
not a lie In business?"
Madame I'eave Is u Scandinavian

and blue eyes, and her artistic shop on
Fifth nvenuo shows tho evidence ot hec

cessfully competing with other estab
lishments of tho samo kind who help to
make lovely women more lovely still.
"Some years ago," said Mndu'me Penvc,
"the woman In bustnesH, especially the
woman who sells goods, had the reputtt
tlon of having to be a clever prevurlcator
to get on. In those days you could fool
some of tho women shoppers ull the
time and all of the shoppers some of the
time. I3ut today 1 think that women, as
a rule, are more honest than men In busi
ness, and that they tell fewer lies.
"Vou see, the woman who buys has
been educated; she Is no longer tho trust

saleswoman. The nowspapers and maga

not nnjy In regard to styles, but also
about materials and their value.
"Then there's another thing. The
woman who Is In business for herself
and whot caters to other women knows
that she cannot convince them' of . the
superiority of her goods unless she truly
believes what sho Is sayjng. Shu must
have every confidence In her goods.
"I think that Is a great point. ;ind It Is
ono reason why women are' succeeding in
business to such a great extent. The
good saleswoman won't tackle a line of
goods that she doesn't believe In or that
she has to lie about.
"Of course we all know that you have
to smooth over a point now and then or
exaggerate in every business," said
Madame Peave, "but I wouldn't cull thut

Madame Peave.
"And when' U one past middle age?
That's a question I've always wanted to
know,"
"Wfll, that depends upon how old ono
is oneself, 1 should suy that one Is past
middle ago at about M year,, but I sup
posa when I get near thut age myself I
will shove the date on to SO years or even I
later," Inughed the young woman.
"After f5 years most women are willing
to be classed ni "older" women, and
tliey are tho hardest people lo suit. There
are two kinds of these older women, and
with both kinds a sales person has to
employ all tho tait that they are cap
able of,
"One kind of older woman Insists on
ir-fldng much younger that she Is, while
the cthr kind would .like to .wnr lace

'Willi such women you need more

It would tako to lie tactfully, so I don'f
know which Is the 'worst. Perhaps It Is
because they belong to the older genera
tion, that they are nut willing to accept
the truth about themselves, as the
younger women do. Undoubtedly, the
modem woumn, whether she Is selling
goods or buying them, Is more frank and
morn truthful and less inclined to trust
the fierson who flatters.
"That may not be so In social life, but
It Is trim lit business.
'Every woman Is so sophisticated, ac
