12 Years Ago...Now She's Ranked As Famous Fashion Historian

inviting you to a ball with tickets

bank balance was $142 and the third a broker's note to inform you

looks a little like the noted Elsa, works with her once in a while, Back 12 years ago, when she received those three letters, the study of costumes had simply been a hobby with her. She didn't waste time worrying about the state of her affairs. She telephoned the broker and told -him —yes, told him—she was going to make him a costume fo wear to the ball to which she had received an invitation. The broker accepted and then gave her another job. He was marrying an ex-chorus girl and wanted the girl to make an impression on what he called the “New York tabbies.” He engaged Miss Meyer to fit her out. He gave the embryo costumer $3000. She hired several women, turned her apartment into an improvised shop and launched herself on a business whose branches have been many and varied. Today she has a New York shop, has lectured at Columbia University, and demands and gets high prices for preparing costumes for some of the na~ tion’s biggest parties, including the Beaux Arts Balls and the recent Dallas Debs party. . Much of Miss Meyer's rise was due to*the authenticity of her costumes. Costumer’s shops could outfit their
customers but not with the authen-
tic costumes designed after much study or by painstaking copying. The collection of bridal gowns which she will show at Block’s includes many originals and several copies of famous gowns. : History, great . romances and current, events shape the trends of fashion, Miss Meyer says. Asked about Gone With the Wind trends, she just chuckles. In fact she is quite a chuckler. “Nothing now will be popular that a girl couldn't get in and out of a rumble seat in,” she retorted. “Can’t you ‘just see a woman rustling a bustle into a bus?” Miss Meyer says women’s clothes have never been as sensible as today. Which is something coming from a woman fo say whose business is built on period costumes. Did you know that bridal gown
As a matter of fact, she acts a little like her and actually
is a comparatively new term? They used to be called ‘walking out gowns.” Time was when the bride walked from her parents home to the bridegroom’s home with a 10minute pause at the church for the ceremony. That until 1814 ‘“some-~ thing borrowed and something blue” was not the thing for the bride as blue was considered bad luck. That white roses were the only thing for bride’s bouquets until 1836 when the orange blossom came into its own. And that the reason so many brides probably fainted in the 1880's was that the gowns they wore weighed around 30 pounds. There is a -true story connected with one of the Civil War gowns in the Meyer collection. A wedding was taking place in the vicinity of Altanta just as Sherman was making that terrifying march to’ the sea. The Yankees arrived and so the food for the wedding was secreted hurriedly in the cellar. The silver, however, was found and carried off leaving the guests to fare with their fingers. : Many, many years later the bride’s granddaughter wrote -home to her southern family to say she was in love and wished to marry a New York man. The family was a. bit afraid to break the news to Grandma that a Yankee was soon to become one of the family. The day the news was given the elderly lady she got up from the dinner table, marched upstairs and closed ‘her bedroom door. After three hours, in which the family had some bad moments, the old lady came out and asked that a letter be posted to her granddaughter, the essence of which was: “I have: looked up your young man in the Yankee Bible (the New York Social Register) and it appears he comes from a good family. Therefore you will have opportunity to have dinner at some of the better homes there. I thinX it is all right for you to marr; him. You may be aple to locate our silver among those Yankees.”

Woman's Party Wants No ‘Protection,’
But Equal Rights
By GERRY DICK WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (NEA).— Washington is full of pressure groups trying to get protective legislation for women in industry. But the National Woman's Party is working hard to get all such legislation wiped off the books. What the Womans’ Party wants is'an equal rights amendment to the Constitution. This amendment is very simple. It says “Men and women shall’ have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction.” The fight has been waged since 1923 without much success, but Woman's Party leaders are hopeful they may get action at this session of Congress. Congresswoman Mary T. Norton, chairman of the House Labor Committee, says she will vote to submit the amendment to the people. A canvass of members of Congress shows increased sentiment for the measure, The Woman's Party’s point is that all protective legislation stands. in the way of wemen’s equality with men, and that protective legislation such as maximum hours, minimum
wage laws, is really restrictive in effect.
A bitter fight resulted from a clause in the original Wages and Hours Bill prohibiting : women from working at night. An army of telephone operators, telegraph operators on night shifts, scrub women in the employ of railroads or other corporations engaged: in interstate commerce protested. The
Equal Rights group joined their
ranks and Congress abandoned ifs

~ Should the Equal Rights ame
. ment pass Congress, ‘some revision
for Feminine Workers
would be necessary in the existing laws of all 48 states. ca 0 In some states, a husband can collect his wife’s wages—even if the couple is separated. In others, a husband has the management of his wife's property. The embattled Equal Rights forces resent this particularly because, they say, it gives married women the same legal
status as children and incompetents.
They consider it an injustice that women are tried in court by a jury of men, but in’ some states may not
themselves serve on juries. In some states the inheritance laws favor the men by making a father the sole beneficiary of an estate left by his children, unless the child's will especially designates; the mother.
Some state laws give the father |
the right to collect his children’s wages, and sue and collect for damages if either his wife or children suffer injury. In one state, women are prevented by law from serving as Gov-
‘ernor, Highway Commissioner, or in|
any high office in state government. The Equal Rights defenders are hopeful for organized women voters behind this constitutional amendment next year. If they could, women voters, who in the last general election cast about half the total vote, would constitute an important pressure group. But they admit sadly that a great number of women who will leave the kitchen or bridge table to vote for President, are pretty old-fashioned and persist in believing that the good old double standard is good
