“Whom Do Women Dress
For,” “Why Does Peacock
Preen Feathers,"-Answer
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—“Whom do
women dress for?” *
Here is a question that has never
been solved and perhaps never will
be—the reason being that women
can never be taken generally. Some
women dress to please their hus
bands; some dress to please other
women’s husbands; some dress to
spite other women and some dress
io satisfy their own sweet selves.
Why does a pbacock preen his
tail feathers? That’s the answer.
We are not interested in “why wo
men dress” but, in the fact that they
do dress better today than ever be
fore in the history of the world.
Fabrics have never been so beauti
ful and the intricicies of gownmak
ing have been developed until
clothes have ceased to be mere gar
ments of utility, but have become
objects of art.
The best dressed women today are
not the light-headed heartbreakers
of motion picture vamp style. Ah
no! The best dressed women are
those whose husbands have nice fat
pocketbooks and equally well dress
ed are the money sisters.
The vamp is seldom dressed in
good taste. Not so long ago every
small town had a few females who
out-dressed the other women of the
town and startled them with their
eccentric hats and frocks., their
white fox furs and silken hose. Wo
men on upper Main Street gossiped
about them but never spoke to
them.
It was not always that their mor
als were at fault, but nice women
didn’t approve of their stylish
clothes.
Where are these small town vamps
today? It’s the self-same nice wo
men who have laid them on the
shelf. The banker’s wife, the butch
er’s wife and the baker’s wife have
grown to be the style leaders of the
towns. Women who seemed middle
aged ten years ago have blossomed
out into fascinating thirty-five
year-olds. And it’s modern dress
ing and cosmetics that have made
this possible.
No! We are not interested in
“why women dress” but we certain
ly get . a kick out of the fact that
they DO DRESS, and preen and
furnish our streets with silken
ankles, roughed lips and beauty!
Married women are seldom jealous
of the clothes of their married we
men. It’s the single girls whose
slenderness and modish clothes make
them wish they didn’t have to div
ide their spending money between
the household needs and their own
desires. Whether to buy' new cur
tains for the house or some new
feminine furbelow in a constant bug
bear to the married women of lim
ited allowance. One hesitates to
suggest that curtains should take
second place, since most men adore
pretty homes, but a pretty home
with a poorly dressed mistress isn’t
always a success, whereas a well
dressed wife can cover a multitude
of household sins by appearing
lovely in the eyes of her husband.
Somehow7 the average woman of to
day manages to keep the homefires
burning well enough and to keep
beautiful at the same time.
We speak of married women and
of girls when w'e speak of fashions.
There seems to be none of the
women left who w-ere formerly
termed “old maids.” And the lea
son we have so few unmarried
women of middle age in clothes,
bobbed hair and cosmetics! Added to
this is the fact that women no
longer deem it proper to sit at
modern girl gets out into the w-orld,
becomes a part of it and- of its
fashion, and makes herself inter
esting in mind and in dress to all
mankind. Coy and corseted ladies
are no more and the modern female
is indeed “more deadly than the
male” when it comes to plumage!
* * *
Paul Poiret advances the theory
that women w'ill eventually wrear
trousers. He claims that the simpli
fication of female costume is lead
ing to the wearing of trousers. The
masculine trend in bobbed hair cuts,
pajamas, knickers, etc., might point
that way, but if trousers become a
feminine style, it’s a cinch they’ll
be short ones, as women will never
accept a style which does away
with the showing of their silken
ankles. Trousers are a bit too mod

Mary had small, dainty feet,
Her ankles, too, were pretty;
And she had very shapely calves,
Which seemed the more a pity;
For all the disappointed gawks
Said “hecks” and “darns’ and
“Goshes”;
Since everywhere that Mary went,
She wore those tall galoshes.
