WOMEN DRESS FOR BEAUTY IS
PARIS DESIGNERS CLAIM; WELL
NOBODY HAS DISPUTED MATTER
PARIS. .Ian. 22.—Woman's dress
will never aipproach the uniform type
of man's dress, declared Madame
Jeanne Paquin, founder and chief
owner of one of the oldest of the
Paris houses, who has just rounded
out her 33rd :ir a fashion leader
and maker of dres-es tar those who
■would appear beautiful.
“‘The styles of tods ' range back
to those worn by <iie Egyptians, such
as I once saw on the mummies of
the new sunken island of Philae,”
said 'Madame Paquin
“If we admit that dressing a beau
tiful woman an art, then it fol
lows that this art changes as other
arts. One cause of such changes
lies in social i ond t ons.
“The season 'o season changes
come from the '.act that fashion cre
ators wish to continue to create. I
for instance, as soon as I have com
pleted a eution, wish to pass to
somethin, different I can't help It.
It is the t restive 'instinct I obey.
“There can for this reason never
be a set. uniform style for women,
so long as women wish to be beauti
fill ami met wish to have them so.
“The feminist movement means
death to Roman's beauty, and for
this r< isoi: it can never succeed in
France ftor women wish to appear
a i
beautiful, our men approve of (bis
desire, and, within their moans, are
willing to pay the bid.
"When it was pointed on: to
Madame Paquin that her own suc
cess in business was used as an
argument for the feminist movement,
she objected energetically:
“Whatever success 1 have h id wa
due in large part to my husband
My mother insisted that as a girl I
should learn a trade, to have as a
weapon in life. I studied millinery
and when I was married at IS. m:>
husband and I decided to take ill
that line. He knew little about it
but he had a good business head
Without that I should never have
succeeded. Women are too careful
They need somebody to push them U
execution. Boldness Is largely re
f.'Ponsible for American success."
"The great tragedy of a woman's
life." she continued, “often is that
she is not good looking I have
known of many of the*r» tragedies.
"Behind the smiling exterior ol
the rUh or the highly placed worn
an. the fear of growing old. of not
looking well, has hundreds of timet
hrough them to me in tears.
".Vo, so long as a woman is a
woman, she will wish to be beautiful
and just so long will there bf
changes In styles,”
