The cha ngmg styles not only in

Nrr are people who are tar from
aulueiil oblivious of the dictates ot
fashion, 'tne texture of their clothes
may have been, perhaps, none too
good in the lust place and wuh the
cun ago of season only a little wear
may be left. But even this is wast
ed because the average person will
not appear in out ot date fashions,

an unreasonable expense to follow
tie quickly cuangtng styles but men
und women will tollow them. It may
be staled too that the styles ure
changed wuh great rapidity in order
to ploy on ihts weakness ot humanity,
this vanity if you please, to tne end
that money may be extracted from
the general purse for the beuclit ot

of clothing makers, woolen and silk

that they are not. English nude

to anything turned out in Paris In
fact many of these American designs
me appropriated by tho so-culled
master-designers of Paris and then
resold to America. Several of our
publications have started campaigns
to Induce American women to fo3tei
American styles. Hundreds of arti
cles have been printed which showed
th* hollowness of the Parisian claim
to a monopoly of the dressmaleers’
art An Incident, one of many, was
related of a Texan girl who was In
Paris to buy some gowns. She was
clothed 'n u beautifully simple dress
made In her home town She and het
fa’her received distinguished consid
eration in the Pasts establishment,
as all Americans are suppo3ed to^be
millionaires, und the munuger himself
paid her some attention His experi
enced eye no sooner rested on her
frock than he knew it for what It
was-—a little gem and he at once
summoned an artist who was in
structed to 3ketch the design. In s
few days a replica of this Texas girl's
di<ss was being shown customers ws
another evidence of the Parls'm
dressmakers' wonderful urt. Put
these campaigns have done little
goed. Those who cannot buy originul
creations from abroad must have
copies that flatter the vanity of the
buyer by bearing the lube! of a Paris
ian modiste. And when the publica
tions say that the styles have changed
in Paris most women read about the
new styles with the greatest Interest.
Women may change in this respect
but it is difficult to believe that thej
will.
The French costumers U3c many
methods of advertising their wares In
America. One of the3e is to send
over a man of title and let him talk
to the gentlemen of ehe press in a
very condescending way about the
average American's clothes and man
ners. He is usually a good deal of
a fool and talks bally-rot but It
makes good copy. So the newspapers
punt the stuff which Is eagerly read.
The flr3t thing he usually says is that
the people of wealth and culture who
go to Paris and London every year
are the equals In retinement and pol
ish of any in the world. Then he
cri' cises the rest of us superciliously
as though he Imagined we would be ,
such a silly ass as he if we could.
Such an emissary came to our shores
recently bearing the name of Mar
quis Paul Louis de Qiafterrl. He is
the scion of a noble family and cos- 1
turner for the queen of Spain and
her ladles la watting, and represent
atlve of leading Parisian costumers.
He tells us that the winter styles will
bo partly medieval and partly rennals
sence in blues, grays and vermllllons.
Street dresses are longer, with shirt
like effects, very open necks, because
the medieval fashion was to make the
gown wide at the neck so that It

could be splippcd over the head. In-1
cidf ntally the Marquis remarks that I
the American women should stop I
woar.ng her hat on the back of her
head and he ndds that her shoc3 are
very badly selected. Of course.
For tho men ho has news of prime
Importance which should be borne,
heme to every real man as soon as
possible; It is nothing loss than this,
that pajamas are going out and the
old fktshioned night gown is to come'
back. Qee. What a wonderful mes
sage for the dear Marquis to bring
us How to make a living, the dele
gate election, the war in Europe, all
are lost sight of when we consider
thl3 great idea. Night gowns are to
be worn by men in place of pajamas, i
A noble thought from dear I’aree. 11
Of course there are subtle distinc
lions to be borne in mind. Those who: t
follow the styles will discard their i i
pajamas and wear a gown which Is I
called a robe do nuit. Those who <
continue to U3e their pajamas at1
n'ght will not be in style. Nor will '
those who have always clung to theii
nightie. They are simply old fash - j
ioned folk and cunnot be considered
of the mode bicuuse forsooth they
have not chunged their night appurel i
with the style.
