Paris, Nov. 9.-"The Downfall OF
Beauty" is the title of an article by
Marcel Provost, which everybody is
talking about on the bouleyards, in
the cafes, and in fashionable resorts,
Paris being considered the head
quarters of beauty, Parisians are as
tonished when NJ. Provost, the gifted
novelist and essayist, tells them that
pure physical beauty unadorned no
longer exists in Paris-or at least is
not admired with the enthusiasm Of
other days.
Classical beauty, in effect, has been
replaced by chic as women's chief
weapo Dress and adornment are the
supreme aim of the Parisienne, who
does not care whether she is plain or
