CoStumer Says.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 14.-When Musso-
Iini attempted to set STYLES for the
women of Italy he undertook a task
which was too great for dictators and
monarchs of ancient days, Mrs. Minna
Schmidt Chicago costumer, asserts.
For so years Mrs. Schmidt has
studied the history of feminine attire.
Cromwell. she finds. tried to shroud
his women followers in austere garb.
but at his demise they went TO ex-
tremes in dress which far surpassed
those Cromwell sought to abolish.
Several French kings, too, banned
frills and furbelows.
Efforts to No Avail
"All to no avail. Women will wear
what they please" she says, Neither
king no, modiste can change them un-
less they want to be changed"
4 hundred dolls dressed by Mrs.
Schmidt represent famous women of
the ages. The gown of each. she says,
reveals an individuality which was a
factor in the personality and achieve
ment of it's wearer.
Cleopatra made her attire add to
her voluptuousness and with her
physical charms she disarmed war
riors and statesmen.
Owed Much to Dress.
Catherine of Russia and Elizabeth
Of England owed much of their pres
tige as monarchs to their dignity If
dress. Mrs. Schmidt believes, and
Louisa May Alcott , and Elizabeth
Barrett Browning in the field of litera-
ture were distinctive for their attire
as well as for their writing.
The cave woman. with a raw fur
pelt wrapped about her, is the earliest
exponent of costuming in the Schmidt
collection--and the latest is "Trudy"
Ederle.
"Trudy finally demonstrated that
woman's quality of endurance is
