OLD MAGAZINE COMES BACK
Revival in Paris of Fashion journal
That Once Exerted Remarkable
Influence.

After being dead for 73 years, pa
per which exercised extraordinary in,
fiuence in the Paris of the past has
come to life again. 1t is called LIE
Journal des Danes ct des Modes and,
after it's long sleep, appears once
more in the same form, the same
type and on the same paper as in the
fifth year of the republic.
The paper was founded by certain
Pierre de la Mesangere, who had been
destined for the priesthood, but was
turned out of the seminary, where he
taught dogma, at the revolution. He
came to Paris to try to earn his living,
and abandoned theology to rule the
mode by prescribing the cut of mems
coats and the trimmings of women's
hats.
The Journal des Danes continued
to appear until 1885, and it calmly pur-
sued it's mission, regardless of politi-
cal confusion and social upheaval. The
empire is in ruins, the old monarchy
takes it's place, disappears, and is re-
stored; Charles X, is dethroned and
Louis Philippe takes the vacant
throne. None of these bagatelles trou-
bled the Journal des Danes. 1t had
more serious affairs to deal with.
