the girdle.
The gowns at this exhibition. designed
for the French and American trade,
were intended to show that there WAS
no tradition in the realm of dress that
could not be broken, and that here
after. women who had thought out
clothes in the terms of even hens on
their skirts, must begin to think diff
ferently.
The Fashion Established.
For a day or two, this was anus
ingly commented upon by the OBJ
servers of clothes who sat around
the tables in the Ritz grill or along
the wall on the red plush benches at
Ciro's for lunch. The American buy
ers strongly insisted that the Ameri-
can women would not want skirts
that were ragged and unequal about
the ankles. just as they were insist
ing that their countrywomen would
never consent to wear evening gowns
that were cut without any kind of
sleeve and with sufficiently deep arm
holes to expose the under part of the
arm.
There was little dissent from these

New York, June 6.-I remember
very we'll watching the parade of man
nequlns at the house of Premet on
the Place Vendome during that fatal
August when war began, wondering
what was the matter with the hens
Of the mannequins' skirts.
The continuance of this seeming bit
of carelessness started a lot of wnis-
pering among the buyers who sat
against the wall. and most curious
looks were cast by few spectators
upon the ragged appearance of the
garments around the ankles. No one
could quite believe that the thing was
Intentional; and yet it was soon evil
dent that such a mistake could not be
repeated twenty-five times in Xxx
sequence of gowns. The premiere
was consulted, and the answer con-
WINGED all that the thing was inten-
tional and that the house of Premet,
possibly with a eew other houses, in
tended to depart from the tradition
that a hem must be even.
