The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-11-13

why the cult of elegance is so univer-
sal in Paris In London a plain wo-
man gives herself up as a bad job,
but in Paris a plain woman makes
the best of bad business, and outwits
nature by the ingenuity of art. Indeed
it might be said that the prettiest Pa
risian women are the plainest.
There is no demand for art where
nature is comedy. There is no art in
Switzerland, because there is so much
scenery. The Alps have a good deal
to answer for. Where nature is at
her best. man is at his worst. If Pa
risian women were made beautiful by
nature, they would not trouble to per-
feet the art of dress. They would
be content to go about as God made
them. Fortunately, the majority OF
Frenchwomen are plain and they are
compelled to set nature at naught. The
miracle of Paris is that she enables a
woman to triumph over a bad figure
and a bad complexion. 1t is not ne
cessary to be beauty in order to be
beautiful, Paris can make a silk purse
out of sow's ear, and turn bag into
houri.''
| The American woman says Mr.. Dou-
glas, is so attractive because she knows
how she should be dressed, she got
to Paris to accomplish the feat:
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-11-13

1T is difficult to distinguish between
the elegant American and the elegant
Frenchwoman. If you see a brilliant
ly turned out woman you may be sure
that is why the revolt of the Ameri-
can Venus against the tyranny of Pa
ris is bound to fail. Even the new
tariff will not keep out French gowns
and French hats. The other day an
American friend of mine wrote to me
asking me to pray for her on a certain
date. She was going home with a stu
pendous cargo of Paris hats and Paris
gowns, on every one of which she
would have to pay nearly as much
duty as their cost But she would
ruin herself rather than wear Ameri-
ca nhats and American frocks.''
So far Mr.. Douglas has been upon
fairly safe ground, but when he puts
on the mantle Of the prophet we feel
that he is taking risks which only
great age, vast experience, and life in
surance can justify. He seems to think
that women will one day revolt against
the tyrannies of fashion and take con-
certed action against them:
"The only remedy against the tyran-
ny of Paris is self-denying ordinance

League, the members of which would
wear simple uniform like the livery
of the nurse or the Salvation Army
lass. l have no doubt that the intoler-
able burden of fashion will sooner or
later drive women into a defensive
uniform like that which was adopted
long ago by men. 1t is not generally
realized that men wear uniform, but
severe simplicity of male attire is a
sex uniform. 1t is at it's austerest in
evening dress, but there is little room
for fantasy even in tweeds. Our dan
dies and bloods find it difficult to sat
isfy their taste for decorative origin
ality. They are forced to ring the
changes on ties and tie pins, socks and
spats, gloves and canes. Even then
their uniform is simple compared to
the maddening complexity of feminine
raiment. Man has vanquished the
tailor. Woman is still the helot Of
fashion"
1t can only be said that there are no
portents of such a revolt. Moreover,
we are not sure that we wish to see
all women dressed as hospital nurses
or in any other kind of uniform. And
as women dress only for the fascina-
ton of man, it would be necessary to
! debate such a matter at great length
before it could be acknowledgement

BONE OF CONTENTION
Idea for Which Beyeridge Is Fighting Causes Trouble
in Conference President Worried Over Posi-
bilty of Plan Going Awry

Indications are that 1ne argument
viii be kicked up over the tariff COM
missile question before the tariff bill
is fms y disposed of In Congress.
The .ovement which is on to emssCu-
late c, apletely the provisions Of the
tariff + 4 which give the President the
authority to name commissioners to in
quire into tariff matters. with a view to
aiding the President to enforce the
maximum and minimum provisions Of
The law, and to afford information to
Congress, is causing an uproar.
President Taft himself has learned
what has been done In conference to
the tariff commission provisions. He has
been apprised that the conferees have
stricken from the bill the provision that
relates 10 furnishing information to
Congress. This makes OF the commits
sion nothing more than 4 body Of ex-
perts to advise the President as to IN
forcement of the maximum and mini
mum provisions OF the tariff.
That President Taft is much dis
pleased over this action is learned from
callers at the White House. He is IN
favor Of the tariff commission idea. The
confereest have made it plain that they
distrust the commission idea in the first
place. and that they are afraid to leave
the authority proposed in the hands OF
Mr.. Taft.
The aariff commission feature which
was. put into the bill in the first place
was looked upon by the supporters OF
Che commission idea as a mild one. It
was much less than they wanted. but
It was the best they could get Under
It, they hoped the President would name
competent, unbiased men. The President
undoubtedly would make such appoint
ments to a tariff commission, if given
the chance.
Then the high tariff men got SUSPECT
GUS. They feared that II President Taft
named a broad-gauged tariff commits
sion. the reports of which could be trust
ed and respected, the country would ac-
cept the reports of such a commission

after, there would be no Juggling with
