American Business Girl Now Sets Own “Styles”; Leads Fifth Avenue Her Taste Improved, She Has Discarded Showiness for Quality and Simplicity r ¢ This Year Has Shown Designers They Must Deal With Girl Who Has Learned Color Harmonies and Value of Individual Expression in Both Dresses and Hats. By Margery Wells. \ Pashion Expert, Associate Editor, Interior Decoration Department of “Le Bon Ton, and Editor of of “Women's Mome Companion.” Copyright, 1821, by the Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) refuses gingerbread styles. She will have nothing to do with trick embroiderings end stitchings. She has e sharp, oritical eye that ts out for ultra simplicity and smartness. She demands quality with a stamp @f her high-heeled French boot. This is the fashion expression of the American business girl. @he is choosing her colors with the wtmost feeling taste. She is wear- img woollen hose and flat heeled walk- fog boots. She is showing a hat that ig round and plain and, oh, so witch- ingly becoming. She knows instinc- that this costume is bringing out her national characteristics and the intensity of her personality. She » «ds not the remotest chance of re- turning to the era of buttons and oraids and beads galore. Once the American working girl was accused, and rightly so, of wear- tag trumpery; of delighting in fimsy stuffs; of clothing her body in shoddy materials and questionable interpreta- tions of style. Not 80 now—in these Jater days of 1921. She now has an air of knowing that she !3 smart, of what she wants—of telling worl | asked an eminent designer in New York—o Ms gelf on from mod ‘went for his id said, “I do not go to the and the Ritz, as you might sup- pose, but when | feel stale, | wan- der out among the working girls as they walk upon the street, or fake thelr way home’ in thronge after their day’s work. There | real indivi Bo, it seems, the working girl is re- fusing to bo led by any cooked up Sdeas of the manufacturers. She fails miserably to fall for their trick clothes which so pleasantly cover up deficien- cles with trimmings. She is striking tor better style, They say they can't sell the stock en their racks in many of the stores. ‘Well, thie is one of the reasons. The girl who wears the clothes knows what she wants. She sniffs a bitter sniff at any d'splay of shoddiness Simplicity, good lines, good materia’ —these are the words in her dress motto. And to these standards she is clinging to the disruption of the retail trade and the bewilderment of the manufacturers. Walk down Fifth Avenue at noon when the business girl is abroad in great numbers. Go into the subway when she wedges her way in on her way to ber working place. See for yourself how smart she really is. Ex- amine the lines, the cut, the material, e making of her clothes. ‘Their standard is A Number One. She car- sles her frocks like a Princess. She gends out an aura of inspiration born of her own deep satisfaction in he: suitable and beautiful array. No rundown heels among New York's younger women.

During the course of his open- ing address the Mayor said: “Entertainment is needed at the jail. It is hard to be behind the bars.’ “How do you know?" asked Spotts from the rear of the hall. “By observation only,” replied Mr. Walker severely. “Now,” he contin- ued, “if a show could be arranged for the poor unfortunates in the jail I'd volunteer to do a monologue.” “The way of the transgreseor is hard,” said Spotts ‘The Mayor became very angry. “T cannot be interrupted like this if we are to accomplish anything here,” he said. “I am desirous of making the sang out Spotts. It was more than Mayor Walker could stand. “Is Constable Pelee Brown in the hall?” he asked. “Right here, sir!” said the officer, “Arrest that man!" Brown flew at Spotts. A fight fol- lowed, in which the constable was knocked down four times and squndly Spanked, but he managed to subdue Mis man by promising to get Dr. Arch- ibald Marshall Pinokney to write him @ prescription. Mayor Walker claims that Spotts was in the employ of the Anti-Walker Democrats, who are trying to defeat the Walker ticket at the polls. The whole town is talk- Phere ig much indignation.
