THE well-dressed american woman is
the best dressed woman in the
Il world She is also progressing
faster in the art Of dress. Anyone
with a memory has only to compare pres
ent day crowds Of mOdish women with
those Of twenty years ago Awkwardness
and unsuitability have given way to grace
and fitness.
The American woman Of today has
learned that good dressing requires
thought and care. Mere buying-paying
the price-does not assure a becoming and
artistic gown. Originality suitability for
the individual, are some requisites of sue
cessful gown building. Combined with
these must be an understanding and ap-
probation OF the artistic. a woman who

does not stand well about the neck or a

a whole dress, just as a splotch Of dirt
would a picture. Attention to the small
est nicetiss Of detail is an absolute neces-
sity to the successful building and wear
ing OF gowns.
American women are fast learning that
all beautiful gowns are not born in Paris
that dresses can be made as well and
artistically here as anywhere in the
world. What the full requirement Of the
lesson viii mean can be gathered from
the fact that each year they spend abroad
something like $40. 900 600 for dress. When
women are convinced that they can pur-
chase to no better advantage abroad than
at home the greater portion Of this money
will remain in the United States. This
