Mr.. Leo August. OF the clothing
manufacturing firm OF August Eros.
e. Co, OF Rochester, n. T., was In
the j. d. Mabley store. corner OF
Grand River-ave. and Griswold-st,
one day recently. showing the line
offered by his concern for next fall
and winter. Commenting on the
fact that IL seemed odd TO find ac-
tivity la fall and winter garments
just as most men were getting their
spring garments, . Times reporter
led MIR. August into a series or In
teresting observations concerning
the manufacture and sale OF cloth
ing, past and present.
Mr. August went on 10 relate that
back OF the present offerings OF the
manufacturers and back OF the pres
ent inspection OF styles and samples
by the retailers, lies much other
preliminary activity. II was away
last January when Mr.. August be-
gan viewing and purchasing the OF
lerings OF the WOODEN mills for the
clothes OF next fall and winter. On
the nature 81 the weaves offered by
the mills, and on the pattern de-
signs. the productions OF the clothes
designer must very largely depend
Every designer must take large &C
count of the material in which his
n no "a
is with the clothes designer.
And. right here. a little factor in
clothes designing one little. II ever,
taken account OF by the man who
selects the material for his clothing
at the tailors, may veil be noticed
Some cloth appears we'll In the piece
that will not appear well when
made into garment; and, vice
versa, some cloth that Is far from
attractive in the piece often yields
surprisingly TO the designer. who.
by long training is able 10 form an
intultive judgment of the treatment
necessary to produce attractive and
pleasing clothing. So it is, as al.
signer is largely influenced by the
various weaves and patterns which
the mills supply, and with which he
is TO work.
And then, beside suiting the fab
rio to shape and style OF garment
There is that all-important trade con-
sideration We know as style. There
is rather frequent rebellion from the
dictates OF style but after one hears
Mr. August's putting Of the matter
one is apt TO feel that style is not
quite so arbitrary as one has been
in the habit TO fancy. style" says
Mr.. August, lis that which Is new
TO the eye and Is at the same time
practical" Every person, pretty
mucn, as Mr.. August we'll says, de-
lights in a new expression OF the
staple. every day things of life.
IT is one thing for designer to
harpoon a fine idea in mid-air, so to
speak. and so capture IL for express.
sion in a material way; but II is
still another matter to express that
idea in all the garments that shall
be made up and sent out TO the pub
lie. Admittedly 1t is different
matter; but here is where the ele
ment OF deft workmanship comes In.
Workmen who can translate ideas
into cloth are, indeed, skilled arti-
sans.
Yes said Mr.. August. "Roches-
