was the American impatience that stole
the thunder from the French openings.
Paris had the new silhouette up her

thing exciting, but America forced her
hand. She compelled her to introduce

the tightening of the hem.
There have been a dozen seasons in
which Paris had nothing more original
to offer than the drastic change from

creators of fashion. Already, this leaven
of the new silhouette has infected the
whole loaf of American styles.

tried to keep in touch with what was

BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

F1HE 1sr of March and the LIST of
April bring about n continued,
but separate, discussion of new
* clothes. This happens every
year. as sure as the calendar marks the
months.
On the 1st of March those of US who
are intensely interested in the new
fashions as source of industry and
merchandise on great scale discuss
and digest, If possible. the clothes
which Paris has shown to the Aneri-
can buyers during the month of Feb
ruary.
These clothes do not arrive In America
until after the 1st of March. and those
who go over to France to see the open
ings feel by the time the lst OF April
arrives that they are an old story. Eut
this is only true of the people who are
directly interested in the reporting and
merchandising of clothes. Women ln
America begin the discussion of new
clothes on the 1st of April They h5-,a
seen the French models since the l',g
or 18th of March. and the entire output
is a new story to them.
New clothes In Paris are little more
than a theory TO the American public,
visible every hour to the curious and
the interested, are important They be-
gin TO bear upon ones own condition.
On the LIST of April thousands Of woIn-
en- begin to speculate. serenely or fran
tically. on the prospects of wearing this
or that silhouette, of the cost OF a new
outfit of the reliability of q new ma
terial. of the suita bility OF a dominant
color.
1t is when a thing comes home to us
that We begin to take action. All the
abstract PHILOSOPHERS on humanity with
which this world has been particularly
and pressinSly filled since August, 1914,
do not really take hold of the human
heart as much as one single episode
that drives a condition like wedge
into our own lives
There are thousands who do not know
what France has done in the way of
clothes in February, except through
reading about it in the papers, but
when these clothes are in the shop
windows and when they are shown by
the little seamstress through the me-
dunn Of sketch. or by the high-priced
original model. then one begins to sit
up and take notice and discuss the
things that France has done.
There is only one comment among
those who merchandise clothes concern-
ing the output OF Paris in February.
That is, that it was disappointing.
Nothing seems to differ from that
statement. The fact is spoken of with
kindliness and not with any desire to
be unpleaSantly critical. That Paris was
able to put out about 2,0o0 new models
at time when the stringenc of every
thing in the French capital caused
heartsickness and physical depression
was a bit of bravery worthy of all the
praise and approval that the buyers
had to give.
But this does not cover up the fact
that the clothes lacked briiliancy of
invention, that they seemed to reflect
the strain under which their creators
were passing. And they gave to the
American designers and shops in great
cities the first genuine encouragement
they have had to go to work on lines
of their owIp choosing.
To those who report fashions there
seems to be a very good explanation
for this disappointment. The February
