The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1909-04-18

The Herald begins this morning the
publication of photographs Of members
of an extensive bachelor club of Salt
Lake, a company Of men who were
overlooked in the matrimonial rush of
the leap year of 1908. The club is quits
exclusive. consisting OF marty Of salt
Lakes most desirable young ana near
-goung men, and membership is limited
to those whose pictures will appear
from time TO time. Requests have been
many for a display Of the manly desir-
abies Of tie city, and as SO manly Of the
beauties among the fair sex have al
ready been shown. it seemed only right
thar both sides should be presented.
Surely in the realm of fashion at least
there is nothing new Under the sun.
Now comes the news that the Direet0ire
gown was not the invention Of a Paris
ian designer, but really emauated from
the brain of certain lovely lady Of
Rurmah. some 200 years ago And the
cause thereof tall male prudes to the
contrary, was the fact that the Bur
mese women had temporarily lost some
of their we'll known attractiveness, ana
as d consequence the matrimonial mar
ket was somewhat slow.
OF course. the style must have had
the desired effect. for we have Rudyard
kipling's own word for il that There's

too. If there is anything that WUud
conduce to some sort at least of neat
ness il would be the style so summaFily
disapproyed Of by the world at large.

And still, on the never falling subject
of fashions. isn't it good news 20 learn
that the real Parisians and THE Amefi-
can women tn Paris are rejecting the
huge mOnstTosities Of headgear which
are sent over here as real Paris hats?
This, from across the waters. would
seem t0 set the pace. but Of course now
that everyone has purchased her spring
creation. the news viii have to be taken
with d grain of salt
When the milliners began 10 display
their spring wares the shops we're filled
With hats which resembled inverted
waste paper baskets. They were not
unlike the CUssack hats which found
favor for time in the winter. but the
shape was much exaggerated.
To enhance the ueiiness little OF" no
trimming was added to the bare shape
of the hat. The smart French women
looked these hats over and decided they
would not do. The result was that the
first spring days in Paris saw revival
of the enormous fiat hats trimmed with
HONtIS OF oStFlch plufueSr WHICH nave
always been favorites here.
The French actresses followed the ex-
ample and no inverted waste paper bas-
kets could be fobed in the theatres.
But the final blow to the milliners
was struck when Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
and some other prominent American
women positively refused even to try
on hats of this kind
This decision by Mrs. Fish was rot
unique. Practically every American
woman who is buying the new season |
hats I'm Paris has refused to take the
advice of the milliner and convert her
self into fright. 4 strange part of
tho whole matter is that nothing else
cen hc seen in tho smart shops Of the
Rue de la Paix but the inverted waste
hdsNCts. while not one can be seen I'm
the public and private places where
fashion Consregates socially.
The result probably will be that the
whole cargo Of mats viii be sold to
American buyers and dumped into
shops i'm America where women may be
persuaded they are buying the latest
Partisan fantasy.
