previous to the time of the announced
appearance, while Mile. Mars was in
her apartments, a manufacturer of
Lyons asked for an audience. On en-.
tering he spread out before the actress
a shimmering fold Of costly yellow
velvet. ''Will you deign to accept
this, and make my fortune?" said the
visitor. Explanations followed, and it
was understood to be purely a bus;
ness affair. The sagacious manufac.
turer knew very well that the superb
woman before him set the fashion in
female dress before all Paris. Yellow
velvet was his speciality, but nobody
wore it; and yet he was assured that it
would be all the rage if once seen up.

trying; she had dresses enough; but at

velvet and handed it over to her dress
maker, with instructions for the max.
