Surprisingly smalll STORES test WHY BOW - TO THE ‘PARISIENNE? ‘Why must American women 160k to her as the personifi- cation of chic? What I think is the one dif- ference between the Parisi- enne and the American. laer A 3 BOTH in New York and Paris I've always been concerned with: the buying habits of women of fashion. T don't mean of women of wealth alone, because the woman of a most limited income may have the style of a princess. By the term “a woman of fach- jon” 1 mean nothing which con- cerns the pocketbook exclusively. Of course. there is one fundamen- tal difference between the Parisienne and the American which does con- cern money—the former never has so much to spend on gowning her- self. Her fame for chic is certainly not on the basis of expenditures alone, I think the real secret is in a mental rather than a financial realm. My feeling is that the French woman always thinks hefore she buys, whereas the American is too often led by impulse. Yet this is strange. An American will spend days and days deciding on the interior decorations of her home. For instance, she will have numer- ous conferences regarding a treas- ured antique piece of furniture—or the proper cretonne—the harmoniz- ing walls. She will preplan her home with infinite detail. Primarily, the French woman does that with her wardrohe: secondly, with her cuisine: thirdly. her inte- rior decorations. Her costume is the most serious matter with her. She dares not make a mistake. Her pur- chases must be thought out care- fully, because she cannot afford to be impulsive. This tendency. happily, is growing in America. With the transplanting of fashion so expeditiously nowa- days, there is also coming to Amer- ica something of the Parisienne’s “feeling” for chic. This is a hopeful situation. Not iat “the latest” was all-impor- tant. Nowadays there is a growing tendency to apply the Parisienne’s ideal of thoughtful pre-planning. Nowadays there is also enlighten- ment as regards the combination of style and economy. One need not sacrifice all to the vogue of the mo- ment. While French ingenuity pro- vides the mode. it takes American ingenuity to-wed it to practical dura- bility. To generalize less. 1 mean that while the latest edicts of Paris can be adapted over here. it takes a house like Julius Kayser & Co., with all its world-wide resources, to give. for instance, a sheer pair of evening hosiery that other wanted quality— sturdy. wear In my goings about from Spring opening to Spring opening. from shop to shop and manufacturer to manufacturer. I am delighted with the Kayser offerings this Spring, as T know you will be. This great house specializes in those three intimate articles of the toilette, hosiery, lingerie and gloves, the three items which touch one's skin. They specialize, likewise, in silk. They bring. this season, the elegan- cies of Paris, seemingly fragile, yet uniquely durable. They bring the current originations, yet not at im- port prices. Thev offer exquisite and dainty things, but made to wear. All because Julius Kayser & Co. has one unchanging policv. Its lahel guarantees 100% pure silk and 100% pure dyes, plus fine workmanship. Styles may change with the sea- sons, but Kayser quality netver, Kayser standards are ever the high- est. . This'accounts for the ever-increas- ing number of women. T believe, who are learning to THINK before they buy. They insist upon seeing the Kayser label. To buy_otherwise is sometimes disappointing. Mere “looks” and mere “feel” are often deceptive. “' Let me give you an example. There is the genuine full-fashioned hosiery.” such as Kayser makes. There is the imitation. The genuine has a real seam which runs from the toestip to the top of the stocking. It becomes a fitted hose, knit to conform to the leg and not losing its shape. The imitation is merely the old- fashioned tubular hosiery with a fage seam running up the back. With the first washing it loses its shape—twisting and wrinkling around the “ankle in loose folds. So often it is with the claim of “pure silk™ and “pure " There is often “loading” or “weighting” also, which gives a fictitious impres- sion of weight. Mere weight is nét an indication of quality. Kayser hosiery is mever weighted. ‘With the present-day tendency of “outfits"—that is, the proper set of tingerie, hosiery and gloves for each occasion—it is highly necessary to THINK, as the Parisienne does, be- fore one buys. It isn't at all wise to buy on impulse. To do so means short satisfaction and quick disappointment. advice is to buy carefully. to iook for the label. Do not be misle:d by pretty pictures or hysteric claims. not he guided by “feel” and “looks” ‘alone. If your, purchases bear the Kayser label you can be as- sured of both chic and economy, you *| can follow the suecessful plan‘of the Parisienne, who, we must all admit, sets the pace in having solved that most coveted secret of style, a prop- er sense of the fitness 8f things, an .understanding of the delicate bal- ance between the appropriate and the inappropriate. The Kayser offerings, as an- nounced in the adjoining columns, are, well worth you inspection. have seen them and I promise that you will be delighted. | |
