FASHIONABLE FRAUDS THAT is where
the beautiful Mrs. Blank, of Mobile, gets
her elegant costumes" l remarked to a
friend as We passed a well-known establish
ment in University Place. "Therer' ex-
claimed she. "Why, she declared to us all
that all her dresses, and, in truth everything
she wears comes direct from Paris! That
certainly was a Partisan robe she got this
spring, / mean the pale, sheen green silk
covered with lace looped with pink hya-
cinth sprays, with jeweiry in conch shell
ornaments to match the flowers. She said
her husband paid 81 900 cash to have the
jewels and costumes imported"
well. dear" / answered, soothingly, II
happen to know from whence came every
article composing the costume, and not one
was imported. The silk itself was of Amer
ican manufacture, the lace was made by a
New York establishment, the exquisite
flowers were created to order in Union
Square, and even the jewelry which you
thought, and perhaps she herself fancied
was so expensive, was created in this our
COullIy. ou iuOttRHJlld ICdi tOllCu Sucll,
but dear, the beautiful set-chain, pendant,
bracelet and earrings in floral design
were of the Leusaic, most perfect imita-
ton of real conch shell, now affected by
ladies of fashion who can wear the delicate
pink tint to advantage"
But Mrs. Blank always appears we'll
dressed even if she does wear shams."
"Yes, but her few shams are such that
only experts can detect them. Her dia-
monds are of the purest water, her laces are
real; her silks are superb, even if manufac-
tured here; her gold is real and solid, and
it is only the few fancy articles for evening
wear that she buys in imitation, and these
are always the perfection of art. The secret
of her elegance is-she knows how to dress
appropriately; she wears plain black silk
dress to funeral, handsome silk to din
ner, and lace robe to an evening enter
tainment, while for home her costumes are
neat, simple and most becoming. Being
always appropriately arrayed, she feels
thoroughly comfortable, and every lady
understands the feeling of self-possesson
and inward satisfaction that the fact of
being suitably attired gives. y New York
