Miss Bayard az . Fancy Dress BalI.

Miss Bayard was the sensation OF the even.
ing in dress OF the first empire, copied from
a ports ait OF one OF the ladies OF the Empress
Josepnine's court. Miss BsYard is a slender,
graceful girl, with q great deal of animation
astonishing in her dress. and the scRnt. cling
ing skirt OF pink cashmere open at one side
as high as the knee, and the narrow waist,
which was a mere belt covered with pearl
embroidery, was rather the furthest that any
one has gone in realistic costuming. After
seeing the costume copied carefully from a
painting one can understand why more
women died OF consumption during and Just
after the first empire than ct any other time
in the history OF France. She carried an i'm
mepss fan OF white feathers, and, until the
mystery was solved. there were excited aud
persistent groups aoout her.
