The Funny Side of Dressms king.


eDressmaking has lis humorous side
as well as anything else" remarked a
little blackeyed dressmaker on North
Clark street. "There is the thin
woman who will dress in snaky stripes,
the scrawny girl who insists on de-
collete gown, the matron of embon-
point who pleads for flounces to the
waist, the match-like maiden who
wants a torturingly tight bodice, and
the fluffy puffy little body who wants
gathers. But l never give in to them,"
she continued with snap of her eyes.
81 think too much of the human race
l believe we all have one duty toward
humanity. Mine is to keep women
from committing artistic suicide. The
little idiots come into my parlors. look
at a fashion plate, discover the picture
of lady in green gloves holding her
fingers as if they were covered with
molasses-candy, and decide that they
want dress like hers. Now, there
are nineteen chances out of twenty
that the dress was never meant for
her at all. If they think SO much Of
dress. why don't they make study of
it? There Is certain rich lady here,
with the face Of a Madonna, who
came to me with goods for a plaid
dress. I wouldn't make it for her.
Madame l said, you must dress in
gray silk I had my way. There
wasn't bit of trimming on that
dress-nothing but draperies-and she
looked like a goddess. Then another
mistake is the universal adoption OF
color because it is announced to be
fashionable, regardless of the fact
that the majority Of the wearers are
making perfect guys of themselves.
Heliotrope is point in question
