Trousers for Women.
On the eve of his departure for
France, M. Paul Poiret, the noted
couturier, told a reporter who was
seeking for a glimpse of the musty
future that the women of tomorrow
will undoubtedly we r trousers.
"Women will not wear the ordinary
masculine trousers that we wear,
however,” said M. Poiret, pointing
with a smile to a checked pear of
his own, "but something more eugen
ic, more feminine. It will be the log
ical outcome of the tailored suit.
And it will not, by any means, give
woman the 'mascluine swagger or
make her appearance more mannish
in any way. On the contrary, it will
only accentuate her femininity by
contrast, just as concealing her hair
would emphasize the smallness of her
face. They will be Oriental trous
ers,” concluded M. Poiret, who in
addition to being renowned as an au
thority on fashions is also something
of an Orientalist.
When asked to what he attributed
woman’s craving for infinite variety
in style M .Poiret said it indicated
on the part of woman a mind more
fanciful and more capricious than
man’s that found Its expression in
clothes.
Ana aisu, auueu nu. x-ouoi, aiiei
a pause, ‘‘a mind more artistic. Oh,
yes, indeed, wpman is artistic. But
in this respect the Ameri.can woman
cannot compare with the European,
and especially with the French wom
an .She is more staid, more mat
ter of fact, not so ssceptiblue to emo
tion. She does not express her tem
perament and her individuality in her
dress as the French woman does, it
is not the designer who creates an
artificial desTe for styles. The de
sire is there; the designer sTnply
makes propositions and the women
choose.”
M. Poiret does not look or talk like
an originator of feminine styles that
has set two continents agog. He
talks in a calm low voice, without ex
travagance of ges*ure that one might
expect, is quite lacking.
“The American woman is extrava
gant in her dress and she doesn’t
know it,” said M. Poiret. “The Amer
ican taste generally is extravagant.
Look a* the paper on this wall. It
is covered with flowers and designs so
that the simplicity of the background
is lost. It is the same with Ameri
cans in all things. The women think
that my styles are extravagant and
bizarre because to them simplicity
has become extravagant and bizarre.
My style is simplicity itself, but they
do not recognize it as yet. When my
wife appeared with a plain white hat
people turned to stare at her in sur
prise. And yot the women who were
•doing so wore in their own hats gi
gantic feathers and plumes that were
the height of extravagance.” •
M. Poiret was inveigled into talk
ing of the feminist movement about
as easily as the average citizen is
induced to pay a debt.
"That is a matter of politics," he
said. “But feminism, I will admit,
has already tended to make women
more logical, more simple. And when
they get the vote they will become
even more simple and logical—in
dress as in everything else.”
And so he bowed himself out of
America.—New York Sun.
