NEW YORK D RES-.MAKERS. A Business Which Requires a Good Deal oi Talent. " C<'V!/ri(/ht?d. 1887. J Nkvv York. Dec 3.—’Truly, there isnoth ing now so modish as (esthetic trade. The above is an involuntary tribute on my part to a small modiste's establishment on Fifth avenue. A few years ago Miss Van Horne—her name in everyday life has a bona fide Knick erbocker ancestry and begins with a Van, though it does not end -with a Home—was the pink of fashion, and belonged within the charmed circle of the Astors. Desper ate ruin overtook her father; and, instead of sitting down in the dust of her fallen for tunes and pouring ashes on her humiliated head, the Knickerbocker heiress became the dressmaker’s apprentice, and, after a year or two spent, in the chrysalis state, expand ed her wings as Mile. Marie , the dash standing for an adopted French patronym ic, and now manages a four-story, brown stone establishment on the avenue Miss Van Horne was a gifted girl and Mile. Marie has thrown the energy of a dozen women into her business. She has manners that woul.\ charm the proverbial bird off the time-honored tree. She tits every gown with her own taper fingers and throws a talent that might have made an artist —her brother is a painter—into its con ception. Her drapers and trimmers are French, and the rooms where her acquain tance-customers await her pleasure are those of a denizen of refined swelldom without a hint of trade. There are one or two gems of etchings, a zither and a mandolin, a dainty arrangement of flowers, a tete-a-tete service in exquisite porceiaiu, and the latest novel flung upon a couch. Mille. Marie is a brave and sensible wom an. She understands her day and genera tion —and she is worth-something like half a million. Dressmaking in New York, in its higher branches, is a business that calls for talent and can easily employ genius. It has for tiuies in it, and fortunes are being harvested out of it. American women are the best dressed and the most exacting in matters of dress, in the world. They do not grudge a good price to those who prepare their tri umphs for them. f The high priests and priestesses of the world of fashion are supposed to serve for eign shrines. The great dressers of New York society are imagined to run over to Europe once or twice a year to procure some of the wonderful creations of Worth or his rival, Fingat, to Wander from Felix to Mangus-Baromie and to inspect the latest thing out at Mme. Laferrierres’. Asa matter of fact, if you can’t see style in New York itself you can’t see it any where, and some gowns which their wearers suppose to have been imported are in bet ter taste than if they really had smelled salt water. A lady whose gowns are one of the stock attractions at the box show of the Metro politan Opera House on opening nights stepped into the show rooms of a well known modiste and importer of Paris robes no long time since. She wanted some “confection” in the line of a reception dress, from Worth if possible. Madame thought she could suit her. “Have you finished that green and black plush combination f” was the question she flung at her head dressmaker a minute after, breathless with a hasty run up stairs. “Yes.” “Well, put a Worth belt into it and bring it down stairs as soon as you con.” That Worth belt—dressmakers' keep stamped belts in stock from all the better known Paris houses—sold the gown to a woman who would not have looked at it if she had not supposed it was imported, and made it fetch $4.10, where as the product of home talent it might have brought $125. The dressmaker, whose work the gown was and who has never seen Worth or Paris, told me the tale and vouched for its accuracy; in truth the trick is not an un common one. • There are not less than 20,000 dressmakers in and about New York and Brooklyn, and if one counts the women employed on dresses in the factories and the slop shop workers for the wholesale clothing dealers, the number would be increased by many thousand more. Dressmaking is a good business, and there are few trades, if any, in which an intelligent girl can make better wages. Dressmaking as a fine art is a profession, or rather it includes two or three profes sions. It takes brains. It takes an eye for form, an eye for color, a knowledge of fab rics* and their capabilities, and it takes an artist’s instinct and an artist’s executive ability. “If’l had a daughter with her bread and butter to earn I would make a dressmaker of her.” The speaker was the modiste in charge of the order room of one of the city’s big shoj iping stores. “Will you tell me how much of an ap prenticeship to the business one has to serve and what it pays (" I questioned by way of reply. “1 keep eighty dressmakers employed the year round,” the modiste went on. “We make no dresses for sale in the general stock, but get up walking gowns, matinee and evening gowns to order for society women and others. It is not an easy mat ter to get good dressmaker when we want them, and every woman here earns good wages if she chooses.” “What is the first step in learning the trade!” I pushed the inquiry. “I like to get for an apprentice a well oducated, quick, alert girl of 15 or lfi,” was the reply. “For three months I pay her notliing, and she does very little in return. She learns more with her eyes than with her fingers in that time. She is expected to ob serve what is going on and how it is going on, and I give her what small jobs she can be trusted with. Julie, come here.” Julie was the youngest apprentice, a round little creature with short, curly black hair, fresh cheeks and snapping eves. ‘•1 ani putting a belt into this bodice,” and she held up her work, “and sometimes I put in tapes to bang up a dress by, and some times I make a pocket for someone else to put in ” “That is step number one,” my informant continued. “Step number two is taken when a girl be comes sufficiently skilled to be trusted to make the plain under dress, which is the basis of all dressmaking nowadays. She sews up the long straight seams. She put on the facing and the braid. “Step number three advances the girl to tho making of trimmings. She doesn't cut the material, y*u will understand. All that is planned ami arranged for her; she only puts together what someone else has blocked out. “When she takes step number four she is allowed to put the draperies on the skirt. The draper has previously designed the fall of every fold ami cut the material, indicat ing just bow it is to go. The younger hand does tho needlework necessary to adjust it in place.” “And bow about the bodioo all this time!” I inquired. “Bodice making and skirt making are two different trades. We decide quite early in an apprenticeship whether a gird is to learn waists or skirts, and then afterward she works on the one or the other exclusively. 1 have skirt makers who have been with me fifteen years who have never touched a bod ice. The ambition of the skirt maker is to become a drajjer. The ambition of the bod ice hand is to become a fitter. “in making a bodioe the cutter first cute out the lining. This goes to the fitter woo has a session with the woman who is to woar it. Next the cutter cuts the outside mate rial of the bodice and the fitter ha* a second session with its prospective owner. Now comes the turn of the bodice makers, who, according to their proficiency, sew and fin ish the seams, put in the sleeves, finish at the neck and waist line. esc. Making button holes is another distinct trade.” “And what does all this pay the women who do itf” "That depends on intelligence, as in every other business. My women ore paid by the piece, and a fairly good seamstress on bod ice or skirts earns from $8 to sls per week. Talcs this basque, for instance,” and she held up something iu black moire with a green silk vest. “When theeutter and litter have both done their work, the woman who fin ishes it, button holes not included, is paid $•1 50. It doesn’t take a long day’s work to make a living at that rate. “Cutters, fitters and drapers make better wages, of course. A cutter earns from sl2 up. Fitters and drapers are the aristocrats of the profession. .Men do most of the cut ting for the tailor gowns, but women cut and fit all others. No man can drape a gown as a woman does. Drapers and fitters earn in modest establishments from sls to S2O a week. When they have genius they earn more. A woman who has originality, who can put anew idea into silk or velvet, who can design a successful gown is worth almost any figure. There are drapers and designers, who are paid $25, $35, SSO, SOO and S7O tier week. Women who have brains to put into dressmaking, as they put them into medi cine or other professions that they are tak ing up. set up for themselves when they know the business and make fortunes at it.” All this in spite of the starvation wages of the tenement house sewing woman. There is no other business where the range of prices is so great. Mme. ,on the avenue, will not put her scissors into cloth for a plain wool gown short of SBS for the making. For a silk she shakes her head at $lO. She gets her rates because they do not seem high to a woman who is used to putting some hundreds into an imported gown. Precisely the same material is put into a gown with just as much work in it by the wholesaler who must place it so that the retailer may sell it for sl2. If the material is worth SO, when two profits come out there is less than a dollar usually for ttue needle-wom an. And yet dressmaking is as good a busi ness as there is for the woman who sews for a retail or order market, or who establishes a trade for herself. There’s nothing like in telligence and common sense anywhere. Eliza Putnam Heaton. WOMEN’S DOINGS. How Some of Them Make a Living and Others Win Fame. New York, Dec. 3.—The famous drop curtain of the Madison Square Theatre was the first work executed by a group of wom en in New York, whose subsequent efforts have placed on a firm foundation what de serves to be called the only distinctively American School of Art in the country. Some day the great American novel may materialize; someday we may have an American School of Painting or of Music. Some day we may not look to Europe for ait culture in any line. Meantime the As sociated Artist ot New York established a school of embroidery, whose work is as characteristic of its time and founded on as enduring ait principles as were the old Gobelins tapestries. The exhibition of American tapestries in progress for the past fortnight at the rooms of the society has de monstrated again the fait that as beautiful drapery, upholstery and wall hanging fab rics are being produced in this country as are made in the world to-day. Mrs. Candace Wheeler is the head of the Society of Associated Artists. She is a sis ter of Mrs. Jeanette Thurber, of American opera fame, and the mother of Dora Wheeler, an artist of exceptional powers. Mrs. Wheeler is an exquisitely pretty wom an, who looks quite as much like her daugh ter's elder sister as her mother, and has a thoroughly feminine charm. She is a wom an of business sense, also, and the affairs of the society have been managed with skill and discretion. She has pushed embroid ery further and in a more independent di rection than any other art in the country, has been a very apostle to teach self-help to young women and has made considerable money withal, by her inventions of new methods in tapestry and of artistic fabrics and dyes. WHEN MRS. WHEELER BEGAN WORK, decorative needle work was the last thing to which one in his senses would think of ascribing a money value. What she and her coadjutors have accomplished is a trans lation of the painter’s methods into needle work. Her first object was the training of strong and original designers, so that girls who had been flittering away their days in “fancy work”—with no fancy in it>—might treat textiles with a feeling belonging to pictures. All this called for new fabrics, new materials, new color effects, now meth ods of expressing drawing and perspective. All this has resulted in a tapestry canvas woven of silk and so treated that the de sign wrought bv the needle becomes part of the texture, and a landscape with color, foreground, middle distance and perspective stands out upon it, reproducing even the painter’s technique, whether it be the brush work of an oil painting or the broad washes of the water color. The bold creation of beautiful forms which this new embroidery is accomplishing is an important addition to the serious art work of the country, and is showing numbers of young women the road to honorable self-support. The new tapes tries are not playthings for a day. Some of them are purely decorative fancies true in spirit and in execution, but subject to the caprices of fashion, but others are master pieces for all time. Take an instance from the tapes* ry studies from American fiction, Hawthorne's Alice Pyncheon on her way to Matthew Mhale’s wedding, show n at the ex hibition. Alice's thin white gown clings close about her and a blinding snowstorm fills the air. The subject would not be an easy one even for a painter to treat, with its narrow range of tints; but in tapestry it is poetic; it suggests Hawthornes weird charm; it does for Ameiriea and American literature what t he embroideries of the mid dle ages did for the history and the romance and the art of that bygone time. Dora Wheeler has, perhaps, the finest artistic instinct of American tapestry de signers, but Mrs. M. A. Williamson, of In dianapolis, is as bold and thoroughly orig inal an American, 9s any. THERE IS NO MORE INTERESTING MOVE MENT now going on in New York than that which looks to tne organization of tenement hou-e working women. It is interesting because it is made from the iuside, not the outside. New York is plagued witli a big contingent of professional philanthropists. There are scores upon scores of women—newly rich many of them —with little or nothing to do, living on the edges of society and eager to cross the boumlary line. The readiest way that occurs to them is to get their names written down on “boards’ r of one kind and another and take up benevolence as a diver sion which keeps them in good company and gets their names into the newspapers. These women taint everything they touch with patronage. They spend their money lavishly, and most of them are thoroughly good-na tured at heart; and, in spite of their selfish motives and dilletunte methods, really mean to do good, and think they are doing good. The great mas of the working women fight shy of these amateur Lady Bountifuls. They don’t want to be invited into a Sunday school class with a cooking school annex. They don’t want to have their morals suiiervised, their way of living criticised and their independence of thought controlled. They don’t care a fig about sweetness and light; they want some' butter on the bread tuey have honestly earned and a piece of meat to go with it, all to be eaten withont Japanese paper nap kins or deluging anybody with thank yous. The present effort at organization for bet ter wages is not controlled by any board. •There are woU-koown women who are giv ing t heir services, but they are not profes sional philanthropist*, aud the general di rection is in the hands of the working women themselves. Miss Ida M. Van Bit ten, who has lectured at Vassar and John Hopkins University on the battle of the workingvvomen. Is a bright-faced young woman, almost girlish in aspect, who has i enlisted for the war. Bishop Huntington's 1 daughter. Arria Huntington, has worked j among the east side poor for years. Ga brielle Greeley is Horace Greeley’s daugli t •!' and another who is in the fight to stay. Dr. Anua Daniels has been the outdoor phy- THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 18S7. sician of the New York Infirmary for a long period. Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell is a sister-in-law of the poet, and one of the most intelligent members of the State Board of Charities. With these are asso ciated Miss Mary C. Andrews, an intelligent woman and a typesetter, who does her best to get her follow-workers feminine to join the Typographical Union; Miss Mary Me Ginley, a feather curler and a prominent Knight of Labor; Leonore O’Reilly, a shirt maker and a bright and pretty girl, and a number of wage-workers more. The proj ect of a big general union for women is making substantial progress, and is the most practical move ever made to raise the wages of the tenement workers who are helpless and hopeless when isolated. THERE ARE NOT EAR FROM 25,000 WOMEN already organized in trades unions and local assemblies of the Knights of Lalior in the city. These are mostly women who work in tne factories and shops, not in their tone meat homes. The silk weavers organized in 18S5. The feather workers have a union and the dressmakers have built up a com pact organization. There are hundreds of telegraph operators and typesetters who be long to unions of men and women. The buttonhole workers, paper box workers, fur operators, hat and shirt makers, the bookbinders, the shoe operatives and the tailors have more or less prosperous unions. The girls in Higgins’ carpet works are very strongly organized. It is astonishing what an amount of busi* ness sense the women display in their unions. The organizations are positive ed ucators, though uow and then, as a matter of course, there are exceptions to the rule. A German woman, a tailor for the slop shops, tried to start a tailor girls’ union this past summer. She knew exactly what she wished to do, but had not the faintest con ception how to do it, and I came upon her one morning in a fit of hysterics because the big Sunday picuic up the Hudson which was to supply funds to set the union going had left that embryo organization hopeless ly in debt. Her flow of tears was interrupt ed by the entrance of the man who had fur nished the chowder kettle which had pro provided the picnic dinner. Grief turned to wrath as she declaimed against the iniquity of renting a kettle with a hole in it, that hole having spoiled the dinner and through it the receipts. She declined to pay kettle hire, and the kettle owner claimed double pay on the ground that the abused utensil had been whole when it left, his hands and had been returned ruined for future letting. There was a squally scene in that very dingy tenement room, both parties ap pealing to me in a voluble flow of not too classic German as referee iu the quarrel; and I made a precipitate exit as the war of words grew fiercer, fearing the fate of the umpire in a disputed base ball game. MISS ALICE LONGFELLOW HAS BEEN in New York a great deal this fall. She is a girl of 28, who looks like the poet, her father. She has dark hair and big soft, dark eyes aud dresses like a Bostonian, that is very simple, but with a sharp eye to the fit of a bodice after all. Mrs. M. Nimmo Moran is the only wom an who belongs to the New York Etching Club. Her husband. Thomas Moran, was her master in art, and her recent work is strong, original and dramatic. Mrs. Emily Moran etches also, but her work shows more delicacy than power. Women don’t applaud much at theatres, hence men must have au eye for gowns, for there is a symphony in two greens which Mi-s. Rotter wears in the studio scene in Mlie. de Bressier that brings down the house without fail. I saw her in Brooklyn last week drop the cloak that enveloped Ber and stand fully two minutes before she could proceed for the storm of applause that greet ed the revelation of the gown. It was men that made the noise. Mrs. Cleveland had a pretty gown made in New York this past week. It was a white plush, wholly without ornament and without draperies; a simple robe falling straight to the feet,'the material lieing too rich to fritter away its effects with trim mings. E. P. H.
