Special Correspondence Of The Star
PARIS. June 10, 1905.
Almost every Partisan and a large num-

their wanderings about the city. have pass
ed through the Tuilleries gardens at y
o'clock and noticed groups of young girls
seated on the benches and on the grass TAX
ing their midday meal. These girls are
from the dressmaking and millinery estab-
lshments in and near the Rue de la Paix
AS midday is their luncheon hour, the
pretty name of midinettes has been given
to them.
Until lately this meal was but a scanty
repast, consisting for the most part of
few slices of bread and butter and an apple,
to sustain them during their long hours of
work. But they have at last found pow
erful friend in M Manoury, the well-known
philanthropist, who has organized a CO.
operative society and raised the necessary
funds to open in the heart of Paris a res
taurant where the roor midinettes can for d
few sous get square meal that will satisfy
their healthy young appetites. Ii, as M
Manoury expects, proper support is given
his scheme, other restaurants ON the same
lines will soon be opened.
Woman's vanity and the aid administered
by the fashion writer have been blamed for
much sin In the sartorial line. According
to a recent article published here In Paris,

gerous form of lunacy-the disease of fine
clothes" In fact, the influence of these
scribblers is supposed to be more subtle
than morphine, more demoralizing than
drink and more deadly than jealousy.
sincerely hate to think we are such bad
lot, for comparatively speaking the fashion
chroncer is a, modern institution and the
love of clothes dates back beyond dates.
They are not responsible however, for the
hungry state of the midinette, for were 1t
not for the fribbles Of the mode these pretty
creatures would often go luncheonless

extravagant always has been and always
will be the greatest blessing to the world in
one way and that is in her encouragement

friends would say, the condition of the
tradespeople were there no demand for
smart clothes. laces, furs, jewels. flowers
and the thousand and one commercial enter
prises that flourish and support thousand
and one different classes of employees who
minister TO the well-dressed woman. No,
indeed; this so-called extravagant smart
lady often builds better than she knows and
in her way is an unconscious ph1ianthropist.

bunehy fashion. On the other hand, the
costume de balm of this summer is smartly
tailored and cut in the prevailing dress
styles. The up-to-date girl realized that she
was losing a good opportunity of looking
her best on the beach. she determined to
have this year a fetching little gown. The
modistes have evolved for Miss Uptodate a

but more conservative patrons are having
their bathing suits made with the old short,
puffed sleeve. High and low-neck styles
are equally smart, but most girls prefer
freedom at the throat and have the bodice
cut slightly low, generally in a square
Dutch effect. The skirt reaches to the bend
of the knee.
