Unfortunately some of us become
rich too rapidly and acquire an obvi-
Gus dyspepsia in the matter of good
tasee in dressing. And Which dyspep-
sia is usually disposed of by the rem
cdy known as the French designer 1t
is Mrs. Glare Sheridan, the English
sculptress. who claims that American
women dress monotonously because
they all have money enough to de.
rive their clothes from French de-
signers. and therefore, they all wear
strikingly similar clothes.
But so. undoubtedly die same is
true of the Jewish women who have
The wherewithal to keep in the height
of fashion. And the same may be
applied to the quantity of their clothes
as well as to the quality.
Whac Kiplirg said of Judy O'Grady
and the Governors Lady" is quite as
true of clothes as of the matter of
falling in love. And if we finally
buckled down to the arguments of the
economic interpreter of history, there
would be but one conclusion; that eli
mate aud topography determine the
characteristics and tendencies OF Il
people. And thus having generalized
for the whole of mankind, it remains
hut to place the Jews in II similar
category.
Dressing becomes, therefore. not a
matter of race or religion but of So
cial habit. And then, what is over
dressing, buo social habit? Or un-
der-dressing?
Having determined that Jewish
women are quite the same as other
women, and that the tendency to dress
overornately is the same in any Ian
guage, it remains but to add that the
simplicity of American clothes and the
habit of long generations in America
will survive as typical of American
women despite their religious or racial
origins.
