IF YOU WANT to know exactly
when men wore muffs, what hap-
pened to the gent who wore the
first top hat, how little clothing
Regency belles wore, or how much
weight Victorian ladies carried,
Dr. Willett Cunningham is your
man, In a book, The Art of Eng-
lish Costume, recently published
in London, the learned doctor sets
out to analyse costume as an art.

On the matter of the more
subtle and elusive why and
wherefore of changing feminine
‘stylesseDr. Cunnington plumps for
Sex-appeal as the moving factor.

We have our own view. If you
offered almost any woman a dress
oozing sex appeal or a mink coat,
we think sex appeal would lose.

But on this seemingly frivolous
question many eminent author-
ities are loquaciously serious.

Dr. Cunnington’s theory is on
the lines of that propounded by
Professor Flugel, of London Uni-
versity, known as “the shifting
€rogenous zones.”

This, simplified, merely means
that if fashion reveals the female
leg, then when the male gets
thoroughly used to it skirts will

the female anatomy will get what
might be called “a build-up.”

John Laver, of the Victoria and
Albert Museum, London inclines
te this theory with the modifica-
tion that shape “is influenced by
something like a consensus of all
political, religious, economic and
artistic factors of the time” which
may sound vague, but has a lot
of sense to it.

Quentin Bell, a distinguished
British artist, has amplified the
‘theory that the influence of
money, here as elsewhere, has a
lot to.do with it.

Certain clothes, he argues, are
acts of ‘conspicuous

and impracticability that the
wearers are rich and don’t work
for their living, ;
Personally, I think each theory
has a qualified validity, with the
casting vote in favor of money.

Fashion, as we commonly speak
.of it nowadays, is a product of
the Industrial Revolution. It is
improved mechanical technique
which enables manufacturers to
copy, with modifications, for the
millions the fashions worn by
leaders of “society.” So that as
soon as a fashion becomes popu-
lar it, so to speak, becomes un-
fashionable, and the vicious circle
goes round and round.

lear by living. No matter how

mocracy are explained, when they a
home, they may remain remote theories.

children hear much talk of equal-
ity of the sexes, of individual
rights, and so on. Too often it
remains just talk, completely
divorced from what he sees.

For example, father comes
home, arinounces he just has time
for his meal, a glance at the pap-
er, and he must be off to a meet-
ing. Mother, it develops, has an
important meeting as well. “Fine,
fine,» beams father. He loves to
hear mother is active. “But,” she
explains, “I can’t be there on time
if I make, serve the meal and do
the dishes, bath and settle the
children. Besides, who will stay
with them?” “Can't you ‘get a
sitter?” says father vaguely, mak-
ing his sole contribution to solv-
ing the problem.

In this household there is no
shared responsibility, no working
towards a common goal. The com-
plete management of the house
and children, plus any outside ac-
tivity, no matter how important
it may be, is left to the concern
of only one member, in this case
the mother. ;

Worst case I ever came across
was in Chicago during the war.
A trade union organizer I know
was carrying on a brilliant cam-
paign for equal rights for women
workers in his local. As far as
his three children were concerned,
these women might have been on

In many households it is quite
different. When a sitter is not

of outside work is discussed. Both
parents try to arrange the week's

father gets home early so that he

enough father and children enjoy
working together; it gives them
time for the talk they otherwise
