Poiret flashed upon the fashion world about 10 years ago. A collection of gowns for southern wear was sent to America. Among them were I five models almost startling in their daring ness of type, line and color. "A new Americans said; "who is he?" "Paul Poiret." "He will take his place among the fashion It masters or mc worm, I Poiret's start in life was prosaic enough. As 1 a hoy he was apprenticed to an umbrella merchant.

One day he was asked to deliver a package in a big store. A new life opened before his eyes. He saw of dressed I women. He studied them. He became interested in clothes.

He began sketching. Wherever he went he made sketches of what he saw. He would ride up and down the boulevards on top of a bus and sketch. He even essayed some original designs. With these, one daring day.

he knocked at the door of a dressmaker. It was opened. His designs were changed into clothes. Poiret had found his field. In 1904 he opened a small shop of his own.

By 1907 he had moved into larger quarters and his growing fame had reached America. By 1910 Poiret's genius had gone so far that to the amaze- REPRODUCTK ment of Paris lie left the busi- Yk A1 Jf 1 ness neighborhood and opened 1 his wonderful establishment BlltKnT fefl at 107 Faubourg St. Honore, WllvIJunf an old chateau set in the cen- 19 ter of a great garden, which at once became an art center 3 And Now Pc As Attache de fa Ministere de la Gi from his duties to take up again his be I Pnirot- rre.ites his new models sends 20 to New York, from which 14 ganizes a company to exploit them. 1 produce these models, under the direc that each one is faithfully reproducec These Are the Models Present Exclusive One house in each community throughout the United States is offering; them to the public.

SI How came Poiret's rapid rise? Through his innate genius, which revolted against old established customs and dared to do IM the new things. "Woman should he clothed in liquid flow- inR lines," he said.

"Materials should merge with CS the contour of form. A costume must empha- size the grace of motion. But above all the Hi artist must paint his picture with broad sweeps uj of color." To Poiret his art is that of a painter or a I sculptor. His pigments are fabrics. His canvas is woman.

3 To the great masters of painting and sculp- turc Poiret goes for bis inspiration. To the classics of Greece and Rome, to the i masters of later schools, into churches to study 11 mural decorations, back to the excavations of goes wherever a suggestion jj will stir his imagination. A primeval passion for color lays deep in his nature and a touch sets 1 it aflre. 1 His models, of course, always reflect his I travels, studies ami researches. I I Now the scene changes.

jXj It Monday morning, August I second day of mobilization for the great war. We go to the Salons of Poiret in Paris. We I liml him dressed in soldier's clothes. He is sur- I rounded with weeping crowds of devoted fl helpers. "I go to join my IN regiment," he says; "an artist 1 is nothing when a soldier is rl "I Kt.l wanted.

France needs men Jj jC today, not artists. My atelier fig closed and will remain closed until I return, if I do return." 11 And so Poiret disappeared for nearly three years. 9 nret Keturns ierre, he is given sufficient time away doved art. But Paris is closed to fash- i especially for American women. He are chosen for reproduction.

He orIe authorizes four specialists to re- I rtion of his own representative to see 1. line for; line, color for color.
