Angrily Against Frances Most Elegant
Actress and She Defends Luxury as the
Chief Source of Her CoW,t1y's Wealth

nettes," the working girls OF Paris, are all
ostentatiously wearing silk stockings.
When THE Cotton Stockings" heard
that Mile. Sorel had given orders for tine
making OF the most magnificent gown that
had ever been worn on French stage
they, had a meeting at which the whole
subject was fully discussed II was de-
cided that the entire group should take
seats for the opening night pf the play,
THE Prince d'Aurec,' in which II was to
be worn, and make a formal protest
against such extravagance
The frst night of the play they were all
in their places with a stern expression
upon their faces that bespoke the sin
certify Of their purpose. Everything went
along well until the third act-a gorgeous
fancy dress ball scene-and then the ten
sion among the crusaders became more
acute. The time for action was at hand
One character after another entered upon
the scene, dressed in costumes that were
so gorgeous that the economy crusaders
OF "The Cotton Stockings" with great diff
ficulty refrained from firing before they
saw the whites OF Mile. SoreIs eyes. But
they allowed these minor sinners to pass
without comment. Then came the awful
moment
Mile. Sorel entered with compelling dig
nifty and a charm1k grace, looking as If
she had stepped out of the court of one of
The Louis. An exclamation of admira-
ton and wonder came from the audience
even the crusaders joining in, having been
carried away by the beauty and elegance
OF this queen of fashion. But they soon
recovered and remembered what they
were there for. The leader surprised the
audience by crying out loudly:
What disgusting extravaganza"
This was followed by chorus of pro-
tests from other reformers, such as:
DO you forget we've had a WARP
Outrageous"
Some people can't buy bread"
Then the rest Of the audience came to
the rescue of their idol. There were cries
of protest all over the house Some shout
ed to have the party of crusaders put out
The Washington times., 1920-08-08

NJ years ago that luxury would ever
be denounced as a sin in the
worlds capital of luxury-Paris?
Yet this is exactly what has happened.
A band of reformers who call themselves
Cotton Stockings" because they are OPP
posed 20 the ruinous use OF silk stockings
and other expensive articles, demonstrated
angrily against Mile. Cecile Sorel, the
famous actress. simply because she was
dressed too magnihcently.
Mile. Sorel has been the idol Of Paris for
years, noted for her beauty and grace and,
above all. for the elegant manner In which
she wears the most fashionable, the most
splendid and the most costly creations OF
the Partisan dressmakers.
The Cotton Stockings" murmured, dis
approved, almost rioted, simply because
she showed herself on the stage of the
great Comedie Franchise more elegantly
costumed than ever before.
Mile. Sorel explained afterward most
reasonably that Paris owed her fame and
her wealth to her reputation as the capital
of luxury, and that as good Partisan she
was only doing her duty In maintaining
that reputation.
But still the agitation against luxury
went on and will continue to do so. For
France is confronted with most distress
ing condition. riot OF extravaganza
among those who have r"~ney and great
poverty among the majority of the people
owing to high prices. The reformers con-
tend that all unnecessary luxury and ex-
travagance add to the distress of those
who are struggling to live.
Silk stockings typify the things that
make life difficult in France. A distin-
guished writer recently pointed 'out that
all girls were wearing ru nously expensive
silk stockings, that young men could not
afford to buy silk stockings regularly, that
they were discouraged from marrying and
that the recuperation of France was him
dered. Therefore the reformers adopted
Cotton Stockings" as their title. Strange
to say, even persons who have little money
are extravagant, and the little midi

On her fingers were her famous pearls
gems which have history almost as great
al France, for they we're worn by some OF
the wives and facorites OF the most af.
nous rulers and mobiles of France, and had
seen the most luxurious and extravagant
days of the French monarchy. An i'm

of old, crowned the creation. II was made
of large ostrich plumes of the same color

Dut tney reSolutely stuck
TO their guns and flung de-
fiance back. A fpw even
threatened violence, but
the serious leaders Of the
crusade checked them.
Mile. Sorel took 1t all in
the dignified way that so
becomes her. There she
stood, clothed in a splen-
dor OF costume such as
has rarely been seen be-
fore. She wore a gown
that cost $4,000 and jew
els worth nearly a million!
Mile. Sorel's costume
certainly lacked nothing to
make it original as we'll as
expensive. She wore an
immense head-dress of or
ange, yellow and blue os-
trich plumes, the colors
artistically contrasted, held
in a setting Of a diamond
studded band about the
forehead; curiously shaped
pendant earrings of dia-
monds and pearls; ropes
of pearls, each pear a for
tune in itself. The dress
was designed by the famous
portrait painter Of the no.
bility of France. Jean
Gabriel Domergue. The
underskirt was of cloth Of
gold-something unknown
in the manufacture of fab
RIGS to-day. Over this was
draped an art shade Of
blue tulle, bordered and
studded with brilliants. A
cuirasse of diamonds COM
ing we'll down in a point
at the front, relieved
by a hand Of orange,
made a brilliant
artistic effect.

thougbtless, perhaps well-meaning, women
led away by false ideas based on misin-
formation think to reform the, world by
destroying luxury? Do they not realize
that the very hing-elegance--which they
protested against tonight is what has
made frances reputation In the world?
We are nation de luxe! We always have
been so and We always ought to remain so.
It is that which draws the world at large
to our country. We hold the unique posi-
ton of being the worlds purveyors OF
luxury.
I'VE have been brought up to love the
life of luxury; education increases our
love of the beautiful and appreciation Of
the artistic. This is what inspires us to
create the wonderful things that give
pleasure of the world With luxury re-
moved, France would be no longer France.
Luxury is an important asset in sup
porting the life of France. When you con-
slider the great amount OF capital that is
invested in dressmaking shops, jewelry
manufacturing modistes, making Of artis-
tic things, which are all the children Of
luxury, you can appreciate what 1t
would mean to take this asset away e
from French business. There are ~
thousands of our best people IT
who are dependent upon IT
