NO. 9. j Postscript To those careful people who are always prepared for every season, there is no need to speak of Spring and Easter. But to those busy folk who "haven't time to turn," Spring comes with Jack-in-the-box sudden ness, and is not a joy, but an embarrassment For their convenience the millinery salons on the second floor have an endless variety of chapeaux, and the suit and dress departments on the third floor are receiving shipments of new things every day. By the way, it is fascinating . to be by when the huge boxes are unpacked, divulging the se crets of "la mode." Dozens of them are being received every day. Never before have we seen such attractive styles. Never before, we believe, were such lovely things made for the delectation of busy femininity. Inaugural week in Washing ton is, of course, the occasion for intense patriotic feeling. However we may feel inclined " to regard Mr. Wilson and the New Democracy, we are con strained to huzzah for the First Gentleman of the Land, and to admire anew the erudition of those youthful patriots who know every word of the Na tional Anthem, while we can only hum the tune. At any rate, we are proud of our Flag, our Country and our politics whatever they may be. , We think it singularly fitting '' that we should be able to an nouncrnmtai this time the triumph of American fashions over those of gay, magnetic Paris. That American fashions have come to stay is the assured opinion of the foremost manu facturers and the leading au thorities on dress. The design ing of hats and costumes for American women is gaining . ground rapidly in the East, and -. the milliners and costumers of New York no longer feel con strained to look to Paris for their ideas. To cap the climax, and to put the American designers on their mettle, the New York Times offered a series of prizes for the best original ideas in costumes and hats. According to the Times, there were over a thousand competitors from every quarter of the United States. Mr. Edward Bok, of the Ladies' Home Journal, who was chairman of the awarding committee, graciously admitted that the task of deciding on the best designs was a heavy one. Miss Alice de Keyser. of the Lipman, Wolfe & Co. millinery department, took second prize for her hat "The Rose of Portland." Miss de Keyser's creation at tracted a great deal of attention, and was decidedly the most "chic" and dashing hat ex hibited. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the contest is that Miss de Keyser was the only designer outside of New York- the commonly accepted head quarters of Dame Fashion to receive any award. The New York Times her alds this exhibition of Ameri can ideas as the beginning of a new order of things. An en tire section of last Sunday's edi tion was devoted to the Fashion Contest, with splendid color plates of the original hats and costumes. A copy of the Times' series of illustrations is on exhi bition in our show windows. , 0 The New York Times Fashion Contest A Portland Milliner, Miss Alice De Keyser, Wins Prize in the Greatest Millinery Style Contest Ever Held in America Three prizes were offered by the New York Times for ihe most original American design of hats two were won in New York City, and the only other city in the United Slates to win a Nation-wide victory in which a thousand milliners put forth every artistic effort was Portland, Oregon, "The Rose City." ' 1 ' ' . . Miss De Keyser, a member of our millinery staff for the last five years, was urged by Mr. Lipman to enter this style contest. Miss De Keyser at first hesitated,' as to enter this contest meant to match her ability against an imposing array of the greatest millinery talent in America. Getting her inspiration from the Rose the emblem of our fair city she deftly evolved the Rose Hat. , The submitted designs were carefully examined by a board of judges composed of Mr. Edward Bok, editor or the Ladies Home Journal; Mrs. John W. Alexander, who is a designer of note; Miss Annie Kussell, the disttnguisned actress: Mrs. Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd, a ncognized authority on good dressing; Miss Abby E. Underwood, a' distinguished illustrater of fashions, and Mr Crosvenor K. Glenn, editor of The Ilustrated Milliner. . After a careful survey of the millinery creations they awarded the "Rose" hat a prize.
