Civil War Veteran Long Time “This effort for a national dress is being brought about by two causes. 01 is that the American woman is an sentially 4ifferent physical type from, say, the Frenchwoman. The latter 1s petite, slight and distinctively feminine. Devotion to sports and athletics has made the American tall and brond- shouldered. The gowns made in Paris for French women do not become her.
