Monsieur Worth Is regarded as the ortgi-
nator of the dressmaking business. but for
a long time the house he established
rcigned without rivals. This young Eng
Iish lad came to Paris in the early days OF
the Third Empire as assistant In draper s
shop, and was an important element In the
wool trade before he launched the idea he
had long considered Of combining the busi-
ness OF the cloth merchant with that OF

business on these lines. The original
Worth was a man with positive genius
for color and combination. and 1t was not
long before he was taken up by the En-
press Eugene and became the court dress
maker.
Worth. however, always designed gowns
for individual customers, and never re-
peated one Those who followed him began
to perceive the sheeplike nature OF the
women and to see the practical advantages
of the model gown. and so In the rich,
fashionable world at least the providing or
