Every important dress making house in Paris which was asked by Candide whether rxench-society women were spending less on dress declared that it was so, and added that French women were abandon ing , the great houses . which now looked almost entirely - to foreign custom. ..-" Paul Poiret was among the most pessimistic. "The dress making industry is in its death agony," he declared. "In three years we shall have passed out of existence! French customers? They stopped coming long ago! Why should they come? . They've gotno more money! ; And why should they dress? There are no more full-dress ceremonies, and tno; more autocratic rules prescribing what must be worn. People dine and go to tfie theatre in afternoon dresses and they don't buy those afternoon dresses from me! The foreign woman alone is able to pay. But as the foreigner only dresses to outvie the native, when the French woman has sriven ud dressing, there will be no competition, and no more , fashion! . i "We may hold out for three years with difficulty.1 French customers have reduce dtheir orders, to two where they used to be twenty, said the house of -"Ann." . - "They even dare to make over old dresses dating, back four or five years It was added.
