he goes on, “people aren't observant. I don’t know what causes this, whether it's a lack of interest, or simply that people don’t notice the refinements of good taste. A surprising numbér of women never acquire it.” “It's been my experience,” Mr. Mooring continues, “that the - dressed women have a wond respect for their dressmaker’s opinions. Now I don't wish to sound conceited in this. But it's true. For the reason, I suppose, that two heads are better than one? Before 1 col a woman tompetent to choose, or to make clothing for herself, she must know her figure, and know what suits it best.” :

“I haven't any preferences,” he says. “I like any type of costume, just so long as the clothes suit the woman and look well on her.” Asked for his advice on a good basic wardrobe for:the business

Lines Are Best

“And, of course, the simple original line is the hardest to develop. Good fabric is an important factor in making -a fine design. And when you say good fabric, today, you imply that it will .be expensive fabric. Following the breakdown in standards occasioned by the war, many cheap fabrics are expensive on the counter, come to think of it. “In déveloping an original design,” Mr. Mooring continues, “one should never attempt to do anything. that kills the purpose of the material. You've seen this sort of thing done in women's suits. Classic materials are taken and over-manipulated and they turn out looking ‘Bad Hollywood.’ Women wear them with thick, thick platform shoes. That wsor of thing is bad design. Dressy materials for floWing lines. Classic materials for classic lines, as I see it.” Mark Mooring’s advice to women who sew for themselves, then, can be summed up in two words -simplicity and becomingness. Let these be the goal, and you will rate among the women other women envy-—and a man is proud to squire around the town.
