 of Domestic Origin-Notes- Announcements

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, the noted society
 leader of New York. commended the gowns made in America" several days ago, when discussing the changes that the war is causing in matters of dress. She said:
 Tt ought not to be as difficult as some people imagine for New York dressmakers to originate models, since many of the best dressed women in New York say their most successful gowns have been created by New York houses I know from my own experience that the quest Of the too popular Paris model has led to dire results. A certain French model and its replicas appeared in the wardrobes of no fewer than 12 of Newports fashionable set this summer. Indeed, no one of us felt safe in appearing in the famous blue gown without telephoning to the other Il to find out what their costumes were to be for that particular occasion. This wholesale reproduction of one idea gives no more distinction than a livery. and if our own dressmakers can give us indi- vidual designs we shall be, very glad to wear them.
 Heretofore" Mrs. Fish says, "the ex- cuse of the American dressmakers has been that we refused to buy anything but a French model and that they had no in centive to create and no opportunity to launch their own designs; that New York gives no stimulus for artistic apprecia- tion and no recognized occasions, such as Longchamps and Auteuil, for display ing their models. Well, this can no longer be said as the women of society, with trained artistic appreciation, are lending their patronage and best energies to offer our dressmakers just such an occasion as those enjoyed by the couturieres of Paris. The results depend entirely upon them. We shall be there to see, and I predict a big success"

 For
 Evidently
 Their brutal conversation had had as its subject herself!
 When she got home she repeated the conversation to her family, and then she said: t.44s T have just performed a task which requires great deal of diplomacy and
  to do with the diplomatic service. I have merely been buying winter hat l know that doesn't sound nearly so perilous as being engaged in the war. or going to the north pole, but it was so perilous for me that I'm sure if those two women who were talking about me on the car had known what it meant they'd have been more kind.'

Also l must get my winter hat early because having had only one summer hat it becomes shabby and must be replaced Now, as we all know, the fashion in hats Is here today and gone tomorrow, The early part of the season hats may be large and in two weeks small, therefore 1t is plain that l must buy compromise hat which will do when both large hats and small hats are the vogue. Maybe my hat I've bought for the winter Is unbecoming, as those women said: maybe
