A Philadelphia Record style column discusses dress sense, grooming, and moral implications of clothing. It extols careful selection, neatness, and simplicity, notes the cost of fashion, and urges girls to manage allowances to teach thrift and responsibility. It also surveys fur trends and notes shifts in taste across periods.
The article notes Mrs. S keeps a vast silver vault of belongings and a two story butler’s pantry, but she clings to worn plain white dishes. Four small white items including a teapot and cream jug are cherished as “old friends.” Family out for luncheon, the butler presents these dishes for her special meals. Some friends link the quirk to childhood memories in Brooklyn before wealth.
The Philadelphia Record argues skirts deserve classification as distinctive tailor garments due to their cut and construction. It praises precise tucks and a well cut design, noting that a well cut skirt hangs naturally and is quickly made, appealing to independent young women.
The column recalls Mrs. Elihu Root opposing Washington life and influencing her husband to resign as Secretary of War and return to New York. It notes her surprise at a dispatch about his decision and a quip about taking a police job, followed by high praise for Miss G who ended her maid's service abroad last spring.
The Designer notes how infants reach six months and common practice shifts to short clothes for spring births. If born in early spring families may advance wardrobe changes to abbreviated garments by frost end, while autumn births retain long clothes until milder days arrive.
