She drove in hired Carriage one morning to
the door OF Laferriere, the famous dressmaker
ara entered, dragging after her huge bundle
containing an old velvet gown. She was rece,v-
ed with much condescenSiOn and was told to
wait, inasmuch as the great miliner was then
engaged with customer, no other In fact than
an actress OF the Coincide Franchise, Mime.
Grevy sat down humbly with her bundle in her
arms until the great artist chose TO interview
her, when she explained that she wished ia
have her dress ''done up and improved. s'Oh, /"
said the great one ''we don't do up dresses
srch a thing TO Oblige them: but we do not
know Madame" 81 am Nine. Gsevy," was the
reply, s'and thought could have this dress
arranged for the reception at the ElySee. .
Thereupon the whole establishment fen at her
feet and tmplOred pardon, and 1t is probable
that the velvet dress win still rejoice the hearts
OF ambassadors. -
