of Paris. It was only natural that the
American people should feel that the
outbreak of the war in France would
stop all the wheels Of her commerce
in clothes and that the other coun-
tries would be compelled to go on their
own.
It would take us q century to ac-
complish what we now buy from Paris
in week. We are too canny to give
up the best source of fashion on the
planet for no reason whatever. If we
had to depend on our own creations
for the commerce in clothes, three
quarters of the firms engaged in this
industry would fail within two years.
1t is a happy piece of news to re-
port in support of this outlined SEN
timent that the shipments Of costumes
from France which will take place this
fall will be as heavy as in norma.
times. The number of buyers who
have gone abroad has been reduced,
on account of volunteering, cOnscrip-
tiOn and changes, therefore, in the per
sonnel of many business houses, but
the resident buyers and the important
representatives for groups of houses
have been able to transact the expect
ed business.
Where America Comes In.
So much for Paris. But, with all
that she will do, the war places an
important task on American women.
Never before in the history Of COM
merce in clothes has this especial de-
mand been made upon them. 1t is
this: they must work out their own
salvation. Our heads of shops and
dressmaking houses are far from be-
ing aids to the dumb. They must sell
what they have bought and made and
they have rarely studied the needs Of
the individual.
The buyers who went to Paris in
other days haunted the fashionable
places where the women of pleasure
and power foregathered. These won-
en- made and marred the fashions put
out by the designers. When our buy
ers saw that these leaders were fea-
turing certain fashions they brought
them home for the American.
But, and this Is the new situation
the women here are now confronted
with the fact that thousands of new
costumes will soon be unpacked from
the boxes that brought them over the
ocean, and as they were chosen from
whatever the French houses had to
offer, it will be our part to select from
that heterogeneous mass that which
brings out our special type and suits
our environment. This is sane and
sensible wartime adjustment of ones
times and income. and possibly the
lesson may be so thoroughly learned
and digested that it will prove to be
a lasting benefit to the national COM
munity.
