few years. We have made great strides
as designers on our own account, but
now that the war is over it will be but
short time till Paris Is supreme again

are coming down a bit In the fan, but
this does not prove that Paris is fol-

JamaisV America will only be the lead
er Of fashion, in his opinion, when
South America and Europe come TO us
for their fashion MODELS as heretofore
they have gone to Paris. Besides, he
pointed out, the leading designers Of
our best American houses are not really
Americans themselves, but of French
descent.
HIS opinion would perhaps have i'm
pressed me as more free from bias had
his speech been more free from Paris

My next jump landed me at one OF
the smartest tailored gown and suit
houses, whose real American heads

said that our skirts are coming up
little this fall, but that this doesn't
mean we will be following Partisan
fashion dictates, 'Neverl never" He
said that the enormous strides Ameri-
can designers have taken during the
war have given them a permanent
place on the Throne Of Fashion, and
while perhaps Paris will not be pushed
completely of, she will at least have TO
put up with a foreign consort. To prove
his faith in his contention, he is start
ing up a Partisan branch Of his house
where he will import strictly made-in- |
America tailor-mades, which, he said |
South American and European maids |
and matrOns are clamoring for.
And there you are Sort Of $780,
Little old last years war was inter |
esting, but the war Of fashions that is !
about TO be pulled off looks mighty |
mussy.
The Peace Conference may have to
settle the skirt question, for surely the

Fashion says skirts up"

And Paris is just opposite

To little New York town.
ITO be or not 10 be, that Is the ques-
tion. whether It's smarter in the main
to suffer the slits and narrows Of out
rageous fashion, or TO. take steps against
a sea Of hobbies and by oppos-
ing shorten them.
II rsWilllam Shakespeare were only
alive today, he would simply have to
bring Hamlet up-to-date by rewriting
the soliloquy around that burning topic
Of the mOdish mOmcnt--"Skirts." The
long and short OF Il IS that not even the
live ones seem to know much about e..
In Paris the skirts are climbing TO
even dizzier heights. IN New York they
are going to such desperately narrow
lengths that you can't take steps about
anything, any more, and a promenade
is just one short jump after another
II is indeed a ticklish moment The
fate OF the future arbiter OF fashion
hangs by a skirt. Which way the skirt
goes will determine without a doubt
whether New York or Paris IS TO set the
mode for future femlninity. If the
Partisan skirts begin TO come
down, 10 means that Paris is coming
down, too, from her perch as Queen OF
Fashions. II American skirts go up, it
means that our hope OF leading the
fashionable parade will be cut off as
shortly.
Making as much speed as my hobble
skirt would allow, have been on the
jump The last few days from one lead
ing American designer to another, crav-
ing their expert opinions. They all
agree that the long skirt is here to stay
and that American women never, never,
will accept the ballet length garments,

The head Of leading Fifth avenue
house, while admitting that the long
skirts are here 10 stay and that the |
American woman would have none OF |
the short ones, contended with his |
marked Partisan accent that this by |
no means proves that America will |
