month ago? The truth is that there are always two
sets of models; ore ready IN August for the beneht
Of foreign visitors. and the other in the late Gays
Of autumn when French women run up TO town
for serious shopping preparatory TO their home
coming This does not that there Is not
strong similarity between the two sets, but il is
certain that in the gowns and mantes shown now
more careful thought and refinement are noticeable

agreed TO adopt earlier. and then, too, they may
have been influenced somewhat by the criticism OF
buyers and writers who have seen the earlier
models.

in front by a burtoned strap connecting the sides
OF the jacket under the bust. There is a loose
