A GERMAN WOMAN'S PRAISE
She Says American Women Dress Bet
ter Than Parisians.

ter Than Parisians.
American women dress better than
the women in any country in Europe,
V e In Paris says Miss Helen Hasse,
a German author nov travelling in
America.
SIN Europe only the wealthy classes
dress well, but in America all women
do. Clerks who make only So or 81 a
week dress IL perfect good taste. With
a one dollex shirt waist and a n dol
lar skirt they have the style Of queens,
q style that European women do not
get by spending many times that
much. They dress their hair beaud-
fully and take good care Of their COM
plexions. The latter-although some
times more art than nature-are very
good. AS an average the American
women are pretty.
Here in America It IS unusual to
see q badly dressed woman, while in
Germany II is unusual to see one who
is well dressed.
81 am q great admirer of the middle
class American woman. She is in
telligent, always looks the lady, makes
her own clothes, does her homework
and is a splendid housekeeper, Tie
German woman of the anne class new
err looks well dressed, is always in
dressing sacks, dirty and scrubbing.
One seldom sees the American woman
scrub, yet her house is always clean.
'The Paris woman possibly has the
better of her American sister on hats
and gowns, but the American woman
looks better. Only the high society Of
France can afford these expensive
gowns. The average American woman
can make herself a beautiful and styl-
fish gown for little money; consequent
ly the 1aurels' belong to her"

the shoulders is a pretty and becoming one
adapted to almost all seasonable materials,
This one can be worn over any guimpe. In
the illustration, 1t is made of chiffon, en-
broidered with beads, but the model Is just
as well adapted to heavier materials and
can be finished with bands, as shown in
the back view, or in any manner that may
be preferred. Silk, linen and the like, en-
broidered with heavy thread or in couch
ing style, would be quite as smart as the
chiffon blouse with beads illustrated.
- The blouse is made in one piece. The
tucks are stitched over the shoulders and
the fullness at the waist line can be held
by a belt. or by means of ribbon or tape
inserted in a casing.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is ~ yards p or "
