The Winning Ways OF the Man Dress
maker of Paris.
The dressmaker Is a slim young man
with a long nose and big, winsome
eyes. Wearing a gray frock coat and
patent leather shoes, cOrseted and pow
dered and perfumed, he is more than a
man; he IL a dressmaker. He ls sat
urated with dandyism. It Is not Of an
offensive kind. His manners are q
strange mixture Of humility and In
science, for he Is at once a salesman
and an artist. And he talks, talks,
talks, bending his slim body into polite
curves, gesticulating with his thin
white hands, rolling his eyes In their
painted orbits, the while he fumbles

and wool. -

women, the royal highness as well as
the spoiled actress. He is charming; he
Is frivolous. Then Of a sudden his

her form from head to foot; he smites
his brow and cries despairingly: ''No,
