But many of them are designed and made up because some American ¢itl— often she Is young and ‘not especially experienced—has the inspiraticn to dress herself and her sisters. That's why we talk of the American type-— because besides being peppy and bright and @ompetent in business she is apt to dress in the things which are her own expression, It Is Interesting to see these Amer- ican girls start in for making frocks and then develop in. their own sweet ways, They mike pretty stories.

A sweet yuung girl loved to sew even from the doll clothes stage. But she hated thin women. She simply couldn't dress them. She swore she liked them nice and plump, if she were to have the task of dressing them. Well, she began doing dresses for her plump friends and they were wnusualiy successful. She could make full ngures look like sylphs without seeming to try, And from that small beginning she worked up a business where only large ladies are admitted and are privileged to go forth dressed in one ot her creations. It is a shop where it i8 a privilege to be stout and where smartness and style for that sort of figure are absolutely avaranteed, Did you ever hear of making hats from newspapers? It doesn’t sound awfully attractive and, as a matt of fact, it isn’t except that the news- paper medium enabled one American girl to show what she could do in the way of making a hat. Sie hadn't 4 cent of money to buy even the cheapest of materials. And, beside flimsy fabrics do not make good look- ing hats, which she knew. Sue had never made a hat, but somehow she felt that she could, So she asked 7° friend, rich in comparison to herse if she would stand the expense of tl materials if the amateur were to cut into them and attempt rt hat No, the friend, though she pined @ hat, would not make the investinen on so slender a margin. This was hitter blow. But, nothing daunt: for the urge was strong, the hat-mak- ing young lady zed some news- papers and put together such a real smartly constructed creation that si got the order without the least de lay. And from that be blossomed forth to the she needa prove nothing, art and ability are taken for ana where she her time making girls, AN INDIVIDUALITY EXPERT, In a town outside New York there lived a little girl who made clothes for herself and whom the villagers called quecr. They feared she was doing something quite untoward be- cause those dresses of hers didn’t look like any others that they had* ever seen. Her mother could see that she took all of her stitches in the wrong ways. She could tell that the child had no idea of how to cut curves. So she positively forced upon her daughter the restrictions and pat- terns of a dressmaking school. The child just did survive that or- deal, but only by the merest margin. She was pretty bad at adopting schoul methods. And as soon ag she got loose from the teacher's authority she started out in New York to find her own paths of work. Her rise wasn't any path of roses, but I want you to know that to-day she is doing “indi viduality” gowns all along those “queer” lines that obsessed her so when she was a child. She confesses that she still has moments when she expects to be spanked for the untried things she ‘s doing, but she finds that there are plenty more girls like her- self who are only comfortable in the sort of frocks that she knows how to make. And she has come far enough along by now to have the pleasure of seeing her dresses copied by others who never dream that they are strangely done. Which also means that her conception of a girl's clothes is all right even if it doesn’t follow the ex- act rules lald down by minds which are often nnimazinattve. A SHOP OF SIMPLICITY. Another girl worked in a fashion- able shop and sold dresses to women whe had millions. She says that she coud not heip but see there were many women in the world wh could not find what actually wanted to wear and went away often with dresses which did not actually suit them, ‘This girl watched and watched tue situation from day to day and finally she evolved the simple theory that most women wanted simple clothes and couldn't get them. This was some year: go. So she set out to estu lish for herself’ shop where only simple clothes would be forthcoming. She keeps strictly to unadorned dresses. If a customer enters the precincts where she now holds fortl and demands a dress that is ‘dressy’ that customer is politely ms understand that she has entered the wrong door. Nothing is done to con- cede to her demands. She is “eased out” as the saying goes. For not a frock is sold in that now. thriving shop which has any claim to the ornat state of dress affairs. Her dresses have become the rage and now the Principle that she saw showing so Plainly out of a mass of trimmed dresses is being adopted hy almost every manufacturer of dresses. Dut she was a pioneer who now, fortu- nately is reaping her reward _ NEGLIGEES ONLY. Negligees and tea gowns and Neuse Zowns were a passion with a rit! who had no place on earth te wear anything of the sort. But’ she had jus ene enough to find herself a fob in a shop where these things were sold almost exclusivels he reyelled in the lines of them and the foftoess uf the materials. But, ull the while, she kept feeling that she could improve mightily upon the sowns as they already existed, And the conviction within her grew. One day, in fear and trembling, she came to Work with’a precious pack- * UJ age under her arm. It was a negli- gee, the fabrics for which her small savings had purchased and her small hands had stitched at night. She displayed it for the management. to sec, The management was cold but patronizing enough to buy it for i ridiculously low price. And the miracle happened when it sold, Do- spite its in many ways radical lines and design it Was like And now that girl does negligeex exclusively for the most , exclusive trade. Moreover, her principles of making them have permeated to many corners of the business and, though her stamp is not upon them, she has the joy of knowing that she was at least among the first to think of those tly classte lines as up- plied to house gowns of this sort.
