Some OF the Empire dresses the modistes

striking in the extreme. One recently worn
by q well.known Partisan lady at Trouville
produced quite a sen sation. even among her
Fren oh compatriots. to whom showiness is
evidently tho desideratum of the hour. and the
most vivid c~oluring Is acceptable. The dress
was. OF palo pink crepe. Its long narrow skirt
bordered with a wide embroidered G,recian

fastened with a jewelled clasp. and q large
crepe du CHEN scarf. embroidered all over with.
flowers and birds. was. adjusted gracefully
about the shoulders. Indeed. these scarfs
