There VIII he a Chnnre.

1t is the opinion Of tho great Partisan
dressmnkers that the spring of 1896 will
be notable in the annals Of fashion on
account of tho revival, with but slight
notifications, of the styles of gowns
which were in vogue when Louis XVI
was king Of France, over century ago
While these makers of the mode have
not openly announced what they will
decree for the year hence, yet most of
them are making plans i'll accordance
with this idea.
The real leaders Of the worlds modes
are of course the famous dressmaEers Of
Paris. though they beguile their rich or
royal customers into thinking that the
dressmaker has little else to do than to
execute or amplify the suggestions Of
his patrons. while exactly tho reverse is
true. Changes i'll style are always nc
complished by degrees. Every one knows
how practically impossible it would be
to compel sudden and radical change
in costume, such us the abrupt transi-
ton from the present mode to that Of
the ancient Greeks, but oven this would
be possible i'll time if the autocrats so
willed and threw their weighty iptlu-
cnce in favor OF the revolution.

u score of members. Each has given the
picture Of her left foot to the club and
these form tho art collection.
By unanimous consent the protector
of tho club, SO lovely was her Trilby,

keeps this club secret organization,
but to give it an air Of dignity one mar
lied woman has been made member.
These pictures are all taken by the young
ladies and developed by one of their
number. Some of the photographs have
been seen. Ono especially is u beauty Of
perfect outline and has the widely sep
arated toes over which Little Billee

find, and mono there has been to dis
pute this. New York Herald.
