Paris Dressmakers As Gimmick
Conscious as u4utc ) Manufacturers
By PAT HERMAN
United Press International
Paris -(DPB- The Paris dress
makers, who change women's
fashions, are as gimmick con
scious as the automobileman
ufacturers who with clocklike
regularity turn out different
style cars.
Both are in' business to
make money and the Paris
dressmakers admit it just as
readily as do the merchants in
Detroit.
But in both cases, it's the
basic design and the quality
- not the gimmicks - that
bring the customers back.
There are good and bad
dressmakers - even in the
world's fashion capital.
But both good and bad use
gimmicks to get their names
across to the public. The best-
known gimmick is drastically
changing the skirt length for
longer or for shorter. But
there are others flattened or
exaggerated busts or hips,
waists that are bosom -high
or hip-low. ,
Change Is The Secret
Another pressure to which
all dressmakers are prone is
that of U. S. Dressmaking
Headquarters, Seventh ave
nue. They know that Ihe hun
dreds of American " buyers
come to Paris to see clothes
that are different, because
change is the secret of doing
business, whether the busi
ness involves cars or drosses.
But critics who dismiss the
high fashion business as frivo
lous and flossy forget several
very important things: -
-That the Paris dressmak
ers, many of whom are wom
en and therefore never could
be tabbed effeminate, have
done as much to enhance the
female form as to distort.
They were responsible for
liberating women from cor
sets, shortening skirts back in
the twenties and giving them
the bikini bathing suit.
-That any fashion "gim
micks" they come up with
must pass the scrutiny of the
world press and hard - bitten
buyers before the innovations
are copied down to retail
prices for American women.
Americans Have Own Minds
-That American women,
who have minds of their own
barely blindly follow the dic
tates of Paris.
-That high fashion as a
whole cannot be condemned
as "frivolous" business when
more than 20 thousand people
in France depend on it for
their livelihood and American
buyers pay the equivalent of
1,000 dollars as assurance
against piracy to see it shown.
The influx of American
buyers, particularly since the
war, has been so tremendous
that many of the fashion
houses chalk off the expense
of their collections against
their sales to the buyers.
.The buyer, who sees at
WOMEN'S COTTON
Sweaters
$277
Medford's Bargain Corner
; f , Jfc;--few,
I least five or six collections of
more than 100 models each,
has to choose a "winner,"
that is a dress that can be
copied down to retail prices
and that will sell.
He is looking for something
adaptable to American tastes.
In the case of the controvers
ial sack he chose a number
which was hard to attractive
ly copy down to retail prices
because of its subtle cut.
Will Modify Short Skirts
You can be sure that he
will modify the dramatic
above the knee skirts shown
this season by Dior because
he knows that American
women will not wear them
that short.
What t the buyer hopes for
is a "Ford"-a model that will
sell again and again. But a
"Ford" by Seventh avenue
standards is something less
dramatie than it is by Detroit
ones.
. One Paris dress is said to
have set a record by selling
22,000 times at retail prices
in the United States.
This is small by comparison
to automobile sales.
Talking Rummage7 Sale
Held by ToastmistressClub
A Talking Rummage Sale"
was the theme of the regular
meeting of t h e Medford
Toastmistress club which was
held at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. C. A. Thatcher, 210 Beat
ty street, August 12.
The idea was the discard
ing of old bad habits so that
new and better techniques
can be used.
Mrs. Bernice Kunsman as
topic mistress offered for
rummage .such articles as
worn out cliches, dangling
prepositions, redundancy in
speaking by use of too many
adjectives and adverbs, de
flated programs, split infini
tives and poor diction. Speakers-bid
on the articles by of
fering solutions.
Mrs. Ellen Lynner, lexicol
ogist, brought a bright jewel
for rummage to present her
chosen word.
Dinner Honors
Gold Hill Couple
On Anniversary
Gold Hill-Mr. and Mrs. W.
A. Kelley, Blackwell hill, cel
ebrated their fifty-sixth wed
ding anniversary at a family
dinner given in their honor
August 1 at the home of their
granddaughter and her fam
ily, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald R.
Kalista and sons, Bill and De
Wayne in Gold Hill.
Others attending were
Ralph Kelley and Mr. and
Mrs. Allen Reed, Blackwell
hill.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelley were
married August 1, 1903, in
Omaha, Neb. He is a retired
plasterer. They came to this

State Supervisor
To Be Honored '
Mrs. Virginia Duvall, Van
couver, Wash., state supervi
sor of Royal Neighbors of
America, will be honored at
a meeting of Mistletoe camp
Thursday, August 20, at 8
p.m. in the Pythian hall.
All Royal Neighbors are
invited to attend.
Wednesday Meet
1 Roxy Ann Home Economics
club will meet Wednesday,
August 19, at 8 pjn. at the
home of Mrs. Ray R. Offord
Sr., 3054 Roberts road. Co
hostess will be Mrs. Cecil R.
Hall.
president of the stale Oregon Denial auxil
iary; Mrs. Lee Mellish. president of the
Southern Oregon Dental auxiliary; and Mrs.
N. T. Capsey. chairman of women events
during the meeting here.
But the competition is just
as rough.
Before the buyers go in to
pick the winners the world
press, has already ' briefed
American women on what to
expect. Theyf in turn, already
have a pre - determined idea
of what they - will and will
not buy.
One thing that baffles
people in the dress business
here is r why the American
woman is pictured as a lamb
going to the sartorial slaught
er at the time of the bi-annual
showings.
They contend that she is
independent enough of mind
to pick her own style without
blindly follpwing Paris dic
tates. Some of the American men
who foot the bills dispute this.
They claim that the Paris
dressmakers and American
buyers contrive to force their
wives to change their dress
styles twice a year.
There is something to be
said for both sides. But are
American women any more
prone to changes in fashions
than their husbands are to
changes in the style of cars.
Mrs. C. H. Redmond, toast
mistress for the evening, in
troduced Mrs. Thatcher who
spoke humorously on the
trials and tribulations of se
lecting, and developing a sub
ject for a speech. Miss Anna
Streed gave an education talk
in a serious vein on the same
subject. ,
General evaluator for the
program was Mrs. Arnold
Bohnert.
The garden of the Thatcher
home was the setting for the
potluck dinner which preced
ed the meeting, with the hus
bands of the members attend
ing. Other guests were Mr.
and Mrs. R. S. Chandler and
Mrs. Amy True.
The area meeting of south
ern Oregon and northern Cal
ifornia will meet at Rogue
River Lodge August 22.

"Jewels of Achievement" and

A thick cut of beef chuck,
either the blade-bone or the
meaty round-bone choice,
makes a hearty and economi
cal selection for the barbecue.
Beef just naturally is every
one's first choice for cooking
on the outdoor grill. However,
the economical chuck some
times has been overlooked in
favor of steaks and ground
beef.
There are special tricks in
barbecuing the chuck cuts.
Start, first, of course, with
quality beef. For best results,
let the meat stand overnight
in a flavorful sauce. When the
coals beneath the grill are just
right, barbecue the beef chuck
to just the degree of doneness
