Jacques Worth of the House of Worth, which dictates the dress of American; women and indeed of ail civilised women, has juat arrived to pay his frst visit to New York, And th rtorial prophecy and phiios- s Worth, as he unfolded them for me, should be of tremendous interest to the feminine hait of New York. In a series of articles for The Evening World he discusses wit to wear nd how to wear It as only he or a member of his family is able to do. He of a yout ty the grandson of the man who went the shoulder and ending in a point, will be popular for evening wear. “Low collars will be@ generally worn.” i “But what about the sit skirt?” Tine) i ' ‘So many women are wearing M, Worth leaned back and his natur- ally arched brows described a yet more} M. arabolic curve, also his double set of | “When the extraordinarily white and regular teeth showed In a fleeting smile. THE HOUSE OF WORTH DOESN'T MAKE THE SLIT SKIRT. “We do not make the sit skirt,” he enunciated, the emphasia on the royal pronoun quiet, yet marked, “But I do not wonder that it is worn I som What else was there to do when the hobble skirt was drawn so tight as to prevent all movement? We, the House of Worth, never made the extreme hobble. How could we? It is so ugly, 80 ungracefal, utterly impos! nding the feet of in such @ way that hare monious movement is out of the quea- She had to walk this way"—and M. Worth executed a pitty-pat shuftle of hin ehapely patent Jeathers, which had been curled up under the rounds He {# much taller than the average Frenchman, a!so much slenderer—not a bit the “bon papa” comedy type. However, he sas his full share of national politeness, 1 know, for he talked to me in the Plaza lobby, though he was yearning both for break- fast and for a shave. It is a moment when the average man reverte to primi- tive savagery. a BUT THE NARROW SKIRT WILL iE WORN. “But the narrow ekirt,” he resumed after his imitation of a hobble-iet, ‘the narrow ekirt is charming. It will be worn for @ long time to come because it makes a woman look ner. Prop- erly out and draped, it makes even @ stout woman more personable than she could be imany other sort of dress, “% think thet the American woman has naturally the loveliest figure of any woman in the world.

And yet she had paid a great deal of money for the clothes she was wearing. Sometimes we have to do that,” he added, with « ful, apologetic grin. “But we don't tor" “Yet you said you were going to ine twoduce more daring clothes than ever this coming season,” [ remarked. ‘I never, never said such a thing!" he exclaimed, indignantly. ‘Worth has been, will always be, conservative.

But the fat woman wears ng, heavy corsets, the woman who is niither stout nor slender wears the stays which she needs, and no woman Who pretends to be well dressed di sen altogether with such support. nd there 1s another prediction that women will shortly come to trousers,” UT mentioned. “That, too, Is out of the question,” Worth dectared, with decision. annikins appeared in the streets of Parts, wearing the harem skirt, they’ met with such showers of abuse and even of more forcible mis- siles that they were competled to flee showrooms. So you nee even Parislan public opinion would not stand for feminine trousers.

And yet, if © of these modes should appear in 1917 and you shoukl come to me with this article and sa: e! here ts what you said in 1913," I could only reply, “I know! Hut what I sald then 1 be- on M. Worth returned to the safer puriieus of prophecy, those which do not extend beyond the present sea- son “The colors which will be chiefly worn fre peacock blue and emerald green,” he vouchaafed, “Also what I call the ‘middle colors’ will be much lked; those come in between red and yellow, russet and brown.
