A Fashion Model’s Diary
By GRACE THORNCLIFFE *
She Discusses a Pair of Lounging Pajamas.
IT certainly takes all kinds of"
people to make this %orld! And
at one time or another they all
stroll in to Madame's shop. Some
■women are eo charming and easy
to sell to, that it’s a pleasure to
serve them. They’re the kind that
know exactly what type of costume
they've come to buy, and pick it
out and take it. They’re generally
in the shop Just a short time. And
usually the woman who knows what
she wants and comes in and gets it
without a lot of fussing Is the woman
who knows what style is and knows
what is most becoming to her.
Another type that’s easy to sell
is the woman who doesn’t know
what she wants but who depends
on us so much that she’ll take any
thing we say is right for her. And
we do our utmost to help them select
something that we think looks well
OIButthe type that we have the,
difficult time with is the woman who
doesn’t have any idea of what she
wants and who wouldn t for a min
ute take any advice. She some
times doesn't want anything at all,
but just wants to look. Of course,
we can generally >sell them, too, and
it isn’t our fault If they end up in
purchasing something that s not a
bit becoming, for if they haven’t
any style sense themselves and won’t
listen to us. what can we do?
There’s a Mrs. F. who comee into
the shop quite regularly. She be
longs in this last classification. She
has more money than she knows
what to do with, but to look at her
you wouldn’t know it. It Isn’t that
she doesn’t spend a lot on her
clothes, and she certainly spends
hours selecting them, but she just
doesn’t know what’s right for her.
She took up my whole morning
today looking at everything we have.
She started with evening gowns,
went through all our afternoon
frocks, looked at tailored ensembles
and suits, and, finally, when I was
near exhaustion, bought a pair of
lounging pajamas.
Well, anyway, they’re stunning.
Modernistic Inflnence Shown on
Lounging Pajamas.
and khe looks better In them than
in anything she’s ever worn. They’re
black and white satin—the trousers
and jacket black and the blouse
white trimmed with the black In a
modernistic design. A wide sash
ties snugly over the hips.
It’s too bad Mrs. F. can’t wear
them in the street, they're, so.he*
coming. ... _
