VAGARIES OF FASHION.
TASK FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS. JUDGE LOOKS FOR GUIDANCE. London, March 11. Psychology as a factor in woman’s dress was discussed in the King’s Court by Mr. Justice McCardle, who asked who was really responsible for female fashions. He said to a witness, a leading West End male costumier: “You are an expert?” “I may be an expert,” replied the witness. “But nor an expert in women’s fickleness,” quoth the Judge. “Women do not do it all4-the big designers are men. Why do they so prodigally scrap materials and ideas? Is -it the changing public taste, or do women demand it ? If so, what determines the public female taste?” The witness replied that he did not know. “Fashion lacks psychologists,” 1 said the Judge. “I have never met a psychologist in the dress trade. There ought to be some. It would avoid the [present appalling losses in the trade.”
The fashion expert of the Daily Mail [.states that in addition to scarlet fash- ! ions colored lingerie will be worn in orange, red,' purple, magenta, and magpie, with corsets to match.
