PARIS. Feb. s.


%ARISIAN society is experiencing a
- general awakening. Several noted
l. leaders are aiming to revive the
glories OF the salons famous during
the first and second empires.
Attending one of these soirees, one
would imagine themselves living during
the reign OF Napoleon.
There Is a decided revival OF fashions
introduced during the second empire.
During that period the lovely Eugene
made extravagant gowns the rule OF the
day, and fashionable Paris was only too
willing to follow her lead.
Wonderful silks OF every texture and
coloring were used to fashion these
gowns. The empress introduced the
lavish use of her favorite lace, and
ehantilly lacemakers could scarcely
supply the demand.
Today the Partisan ateliers are dis

The newest models shown and talked
of show skirts averaging two yards In
width and a straight, narrow cut that
does not slope into the figure: 1t gives
slim, straight effect, but does leave
something to the imagination.
Odd-shaped collars with scallOped edges
are much in favor. These are worn with
the one-piece dress or separate blouse.
Strands of beads made Of colored wood
are used to fashion buckles cabochons
and cords TO adorn the spring hats.
