Paul Rieger & Co., 169 First St., San Francisco cause every time I come home, I like to find how much my own country has improved. Yes, I am able to afford vacations again. 1 have climbed off the Burning Deck into a house with a garden ; my name again gleams in front of theatres from Maine to California and greets all my friends when they cross to the other side of the Atlantic. What is my suggestion for making good? Don't expect to succeed over night and be assured that if you do, the result may not be lasting. Don't get the idea that the world owes you a living. You owe the world something and if you make good you can collect. Keep trying, keep smiling, and never forget that there is no part too small to play and to play well — and there's no age limit. Never be jealous of the man higher up, the star of your organization ; your bit can stand out, too, and may lead to something better. Many people in all walks of lite work industriously in small parts for a certain length of time without murmuring and then because they are not noticed when they feel the reward is due they kick over the traces just as they are spotted for promotion. Then they lose out entirely and blame their plight on bad luck, woofing that the world is against them when in reality they simply aren't stickers. Whale bait is courage, hard work, friendliness, cooperation, and patience. With these the whale will ultimately land at your feet. My whale has been washed up at last and with your help I am now eating him ! -♦ The Original Chanel— Continued from page 27 Or the kind of wife who always remains the mistress of her husband's love. On the Bois, along the boulevards, they'll tell you that Mademoiselle might have been Madame the Duchess of Westminster. And that her corsage of the evening like as not was presented by the Grand Duke Dmitri. Had her courage not been equal to her charm, she might have been a modern du Barry. But her talent, and her will to win — alone, have lifted her from the lowly estate of a little milliner to national and international pre-eminence. War, the ruiner, was in some measure the maker of Chanel. She sensed the fitness of severity in times when the enemy pounded at the portals of Paris. She observed the war-time popularity of the smart uniforms worn by all of France. And she capitalized the vogue by inaugurating a fashion of mannish materials and tailored things which spread like good news to an emancipated womanhood that stood shoulder to shoulder with its men against the invader. War passed. But the new liberty symbolized by Chanel lived on amid a world of sports clad women — short-skirted — bobbed-haired — free ! The responsibility for the entire revolt of women against a tradition symbolized by stays and bustles and binding swathings of the sort rests upon the shoulders of Chanel. For the mode reflects the life of its time. When women sat back and rested on their — shall we say — laurels, fainted now and then for divertissement, and were given to fits of "the vapors," the stifling styles of the period were satisfactorily imprisoning. But today the girls enjoy a freelimbed liberty — morning, noon, night — in business, in pleasure. And Chanel has dressed them to enjoy the new life to the limit. Mademoiselle no spik VAnglaise. But although grandpa did little in the Great War, he has, none the less, read sufficient books, seen sufficient plays, heard sufficient talkies — and enough stories about doughboys and French girls to know the proper approach. So "Parley-voo Franchise?" said I. Now, had Mademoiselle responded "wee, wee," I would have caught the cue and come back with the proper snapper about "Then why don't you give the guy his change" — or perhaps one of those "voulezvous avec moi" things. But, apparently, they don't speak French in France any more, because Gaby looked a little blank and turned to the interpreter. My French was Greek to her. Thereafter the dialogue became an animated conversation with the svelte Miss Davidow giv ing us both an even break, and not being in the least perturbed by being caught in the middle. And this is what I learned. You will not be wearing prints this season. But vivid color schemes will be de rigeur. And please be careful of your color combinations. See, too, that the hues you effect become your complexion. In the evening your gowns may reach the ankles. But while the sun is up — your skirts must be likewise. A full fourteen inches from the ground. Mademoiselle's styles will be introduced through Goldwyn pictures six months in advance. Her creation of special costumes suited to star personalities is vitally different from the practice of her establishment in the Rue de Cambon where her work is purely impersonal. Fashions are made for you, and you and you — for the multitude, not for the exception ; for the many, not for the few. Most girls look well in the current styles — else the mode would change. Although Gaby has never been here before, she is familiar with New York through motion pictures. She can call its tall buildings by their first names. Like Ed Wynn, she "loves the woods." After a strenuous season in Paris she seeks rest in the country. She doesn't know many movie stars. But she likes Marlene ' Dietrich. To her, the present flair for pajamas for formal wear is "destestable." The place for pajamas is in the home. Styles are created for Youth. And the dowagers may look out for themselves. The trick is, of course, that fashions designed for youth lop off years from the age of maturity. A good figure is more to be desired than a pretty face. Which is a break, the former being more easy of attainment. And, incidentally, it is as easy to dress a "stylish stout" as it is a boyish form. Red is her favorite color. It is the shade of happiness, gaiety, life. It exhilarates. But — be careful — black is safer. Most girls may look trcs snob in black without risking colors. Mademoiselle prefers white flowers. Perfumes must be mysterious — subtle — vague. They must not be recognizable. Upon smelling "Jockey Club" one should never be able to say, "Phew, there's Cruikshank." Be vague, intangible in your perfumes— and they must" be faint, suspected. Wear jewelry as junk. No foolin'. Its function is to "amuse," to be decorative. This regardless of its intrinsic value. In fact, an expensive jewel may be a bore — like, if you'll pardon the interpolation, an
