Jade green empire gowns are advanced

NEW YORK Aug. ls.-The first

people who invent fashions. The mind,
in visualiiing this style thinks rather
OF Nine. Recamier, the lovely wife OF
the rich French banker than OF Nine.
Sael the daughter OF tho Swisslrish
financier.
The fair Recanier was not more con-
spicuously modest than many OF the
other "merveilleusex," but the gentle
ness of her type of beauty lifted her
above the shocking remarks that were
made about Nine. Tallien and other,
who Immediately preceded her in the
kind OF clothes worn during the sues,
Of the French change from monarchy
10 a finally established republic.
II is said that when she appeared be-
fore the British matron in Hyde patk
wearing the clinging Gaures OF her
period, hatless and sleeveless, the peo-
pie followed her with breathless curl
osity and comment
Today even the respectable Bhtish
matron would not consider il especial
ly out OF the ordinary to appear in the
clinsing clothes, showing the figure,
curve by curve. that created such an
upheaval in the ideas Of Great Britain
concerning feminine attire when they
were frs, advanced by the dstin.
suished and lovable Recamier
Whatever clings and reveals, what.
ever does not de,raet from the extreme
comfort OF the wearer and give, to the
human figure the appearance Of a nat.

tuated, Is accepted now withou, eavil
This generation has not quite fol
lowed in the footsteps, nrtorlally, Of
that Nine. Tsllien, who, by reason OF
her ycanty clothing. was ehristened

there was slight difference between her
ideas Of cos,umery and those OF our

Again the Empire.
Those who are In Paris are writing
over here about the really remarkable
