A Fashion Model’s Diary By GRACE TH0RNCL1FFE She Discusses a thnner Dress. IT ^sn't often that we have as* much excitement In the shop ms we had today. The days gener ally run along very smoothly, with customers coming in and out and orders being ouietly filled. This morning, however, something very interesting happened. It was Just before the luncheon hour, and the shop was pretty well filled. Helene and 1 were waiting on two of Madame's best customers. i noticed a slip of a girl come In an ! sit down quietly In a corner, as >1 she were citing readv to wait patiently for attention from one of us. It wasn't unusual for someone to do Just that and. had she been one of our familiar custoincrs. T probably wouldn’t have locked her way again, after greeting her. How ever. 1 had never seen her before, and ■ h* w-.>» *v*-M<*ni»rlv wet) ; dre.oset: I K-'pt glanemg m hci direction oc casionally and wishing that some body would get through soon to wait on her because 1 don’t think It is good business to keep a n»w cus tomer waiting. I noticed that she didn’t seem to mind, and thought that perhaps she was waiting to meet someone. I had Just about forgotten her. w-hen Helene nudged me in passing and said. * Sav. Grace, look wbat that girl’s doing’’* I took another good look. She had some slips of paper In her hand and seemed to be sketching. In a flash I thought she must be a designer from aome oilier shop getting id<as from our models. Of course, we can’t copyright our clothes, but we do like to keep them original and exclusive. But It turned out that she was merely a student In designing, anxi ous to get something new Into a test drawing. All this we found out later, after Madame had asked the young lady if she couldn’t serve her. The poor girl was so flabbergasted at Madame’* personal attention, that <*ho ha«tlly stammered*an explana tion and dashed out. As «he rose, she dropped a peach lllm-k Chiffon Uinnrr Frock. of a sketch of one of <Hir gowns. It was one of the smartest and most exclusive dinner gowns we've shown this season.
