Postscript
In spite of the gusty out- -bursts
which occurred during;
the last week,-even leaf '
' prophetic; of us knows, that
Spring real f flowering, ' bud- , .
ding Spring is upon us. We
have tasted it hi those perfect- '
' days that came to us in mid
March, and we are not likely -to
forget it because -of the be
lated snowf lakes which came .
. scurrying through - the streets
the other day, . ;
In the tailoring salons on the
seventh floor preparations for
Spring go on apace not one
jot abated by the chilly wind ;
"for," as the master tailor re
minded us, "when it eventually .
comes it is the more certainly ;
' Thd .'.spacious apartments
with their softly . carpeted
floors, tall mirrors and deep .
mahogany panels are quite as ,
splendid as any "atelier", in the '
Rue de la Paix, and the mod-
1 els! verily, they leave little to I
be desired. They are prophetic,
Their lines " and coloring are
unlike ; anything .yesteryear, ;
though one must perforce use
words which hark back to his-
, tory to describe what one sees.
"Empire' "Directoire," . "Jap
anese" and "Bulgarian," when
used to designate the new cos
tumes, are only names upon
which the- bewildered scribe
seises to 'differentiate rathej:
thatf to depict. Really, how
ever, the unexpected and xm-:
- precedented in fashions has be-t
come the usual t thbg, if one
may state a seeming paradox. ,
; The task of giving an adequate,
idea of the new models merely
bv usine words is daily becom-,
ins more difficult v - -
At the farther ndo the nwia
lion removable panel revealed a
collection t of , the newest, and best
' that the Parisian hbubes have pro
duced this , season. KThe word
"tailored,", as .commonly, used, has
little application to the French .cre
ations that pass under 'that name.
The softly " flowing draperies and
irregular lines of the new French
models have little in common with
the straight, uncompromising ideal
which has for so long been the uni
versally accepted "tailor made." .
Thj wpman who accepts .the job-;'
lot pattern for her , tailored suit .'is',
she who has no ambition to be well
dressed. The feminine world s be
ginning to discover thatT the ordi
nary "man-tailor" who, has for scr
long been keeping her "suited" has
been following the simple1 plan that
. he uses with his male patrons that
of making each, suit like every oth
er, or,- at least, with so few varia-
tions that the color and material'
are the only means of distinguish
ing one from another. An excel
lent plan for the sterner sex, but
one which has no place in the sar
torial Ideals of fair woman, y,z
. -.There is no reason why one's
suits, which are easily the most im
portant item in- one's wardrobe,
and in which one must face the try.
lng light of day, should not be fash-
. loned on the most becoming and
agreeable lines. '''- --p
This is just what the Custom
Tailoring: Department is doing for
the women of PortlandReafeing
that only , the most fortunate of us
can be thrust into the conventional
"tailored", outfit and ; look ; our
best, the Lipman & Wolfe salons
have adopted the French way of
designing , for individuals. ' The
fashions of today give an almost,
unlimited scope, and the results are
delightful.
Mr. Lipshulu, who is in charge
. of the department, is a designer of
National reputation. His sartorial
achievement In the Eastern cities
have . brought him much' glory
