know that Parisians hope for decided

ing the close OF the war On this point
Leonora Raines may be quoted again.
She says:
People who have lived in France
many years are expecting much good
to come from the war. Things had
become very decadent, styles showing
the tendency as much as anything else.
War is a plague, as every one knows
but out Of the evil Of II all good Is sure

Things had come to such a pass. po-
litically and artistically. that war or
some such calamity was necessary to
bring people to their senses. This may
be so of other nations In the conflict,
for the French were not the sole ones
to show decadence.
"If the war had not arrived then

The Washington times., 1914-09-10

AS near as one can take the word Ol
the Paris correspondents the following
state of affairs seems to exist:
Paris is making a manful, or rather
a manless. attempt to regain her hold
on the world of fashion. But where
there were once 200 models there are
now only fifty. The only buyers are
Americans. Most American purchasers
have received the consignments which
were bargained for before the war, and
have come home with them. For time,
Paris fashions will continue, but the
spring STYLES, even if the war ceases.
will be largely and of necessity Amer
lean. The latest models were brought
out of France at great cost.
I'm spite of the air of gloom and sad
ress which hangs over Paris" says
Leonora Raines, special newspaper cor
respondent in Paris, at the present mo-
ment, several of the great houses are
having their autumn eXpositions. The
heads of the houses are actually away
at the front, for the age limit for those
eligible for war includes leaders in the
dres smaking business"
.'Thc wives OF the head statesmen
are carrying on the business. have
attended openings nj three places,
aud instead of the fifty or ono hun
dred commissioners usually present
at such solemn functions there were
not haIf q dozen. ! am told that
several of the American purchasers
bought the first models that they
were shown and then skedaddled for
the next boat. That is probably the
reason why new models are so very
scarce this season. Instead of two
hundred there are barely nfty.''
That statement will explain in part
the fact that there are still some Paris
gowns to be had in America, but it also
gives the reason beforehand for the
scarcity which is sure to come.
Another question which will arise
with American purchases in the United
States will be cost.
'Is IL right that / should pay such
an exOrbitant price for my Paris gown"
the young matron will ask, nerved to
her query by the recent Investigations
under the auspices OF the Govel n,nent
in view of inordinately advanced prices.
On this point Leonora Raines says:
.'As no one I'm France travelling on
the railways WINS allowed more than
hand baggage IL Is likely that these
new gowns cost the buyers a mint OF
money. In order to take the boat to
EREIand the merchants had to motor
to Calais, Bouloene, or DlepPe, for
