By DORIS E. FLEIsCHMAN.

A MERICA has deluded itself sufi-
n GENTLY with the belief that it is
incapable Of designing clothes.
That this idea has so imbued Americans
that not only the people who buy, but
the people who supply them with gar
ments have come to accredit it as an
AROMATIC truth is the opinion Of a
fashion expert who ridicules this belief
as folly.
America is not inherently, or by
reason Of a detrimental environment
Incapable Of taking upon itself the
fashion leadership which falls upon it,
with the enforced resignation Of Paris.
That America has undoubtedly an en-
visb.e opportunity and that there is
every reason on earth why it should
rise successfully to the situation is the
opinion Of Lady Duf-GOrdon, known
through her trade name, Lucille" as
famous creator Of fashions, expressed
in an interview she granted Trib-
une reporter.
Lucille" has a dressmaking estab-
l.shment in London, one in Paris and,
Of late, one in New York. Her work
and her observation Of what is done
in ell the worlds fashion centres en-
sbles her to speak with authority on
the subject, and she has placed her
mark Of approval on American efforts,
and predicts success for them If Amer
cans but desire it strenuously enough.
Contrary to the opinion Of many
