PARIS FASHIONS. BRITISH TEXTILES, FRENCH STYLES. (raoic OTT* oww bmhmwoimw.) LONDON, August 28. At- the annual summer school of the Drapers' Chamber of Trade, at Oxford, Mr P. A. Best (managing director of Messrs J. Shoolbred and Co.) said: "Women will always wear French clothes because the Latin raee dress women in the way which pleases them. The Anglo-Saxon race will never be able to render women this service." Speaking from the point of view of the retailer, he said. British machines were idle through lack of obedience to the demands of fashion. "Paris," he added, "is the shrine of fashion, to which specialists in women's garments go from all parts of the world. Why is this? Because the Latin race, particularly the French, look .. upon women in an entirely different light from us. "We regard women as sacred representatives of motherhood. We enshrine women, and therefore cannot expose them. The Freneh glorify sex artistically. Therefore, they emphasise that which they glorify. "So the Latin people will always dress women to the glorification of their sex, and therefore women will always wear Freneh clothes. Anglo-Saxons who glorify women as sacred things will never be able to render them that service, therefore let us continue to be great producers of textiles, but let us produce the kind of textile that is required by fashion." Different views were expressed by Mr Arthur Hitt, a well-known Bradford manufacturer. "Why this halo for foreign-made goodsf" he asked. "Clothes and models ean be made in London to equal those made in Paris."
