Numerous Art Shows.
Exhibitions Of pictures are numerous
In Paris at this time Of the year, and
they are to be seen in the most unex-
pected places. Last summer Poiret
started picture exhibition at his theatre
to give his patrons something to do
during the entracte, and now other
theatres are following his example. M.
Marcel Feguide, whose work is well
known in Paris, is showing a group
Of his recent pictures at the Theatre
Edouard VII.
The Autumn Salon is Drawing large
crowds daily. and vanishing day was
most amusing, with its usual mixture OF
persons. the majority OF whom seemed
uncertain as to whether they should
take the exhibition seriously or merely
be amused. The Autumn Salon is ap-
parently no Joke to those who exhibit
but the spectators look at 1t from rather
different point Of view.
Another exhibition that is drawing all
the Parisians is the annual horticultural
exhibition in the Jardin d'Acclimata-
ton In the Bois de Boulogne. Both the
flower and fruit sections have been
admired greatly, especially the chrysan-
themum display. which they say never
has been so magnificent. Many rare
specimens of remarkable size and color
are shown. And the display of orchids
also is wonderfully beautiful and has
even more admirers than the chrysan-
themums.
And fashion shows are as numerous
as picture exhibitions. Three new
houses opened last week. all from the
Russian nobility. The Maison Yteb
opened with reception and tea and was
the social feature of the day. Yteb IS
the Baroness Wrangel, who before the
war was maid of honor to the Empress
of Russia. Thrown on her own resources
after her escape from Russia, and being
a woman of great taste in dressing her
self. she commenced her career by maxi
ing few sports costumes for friends In
Nice. She then branched out into a
small dressmaking establishment in
Paris at her apartment in the Rue de
Lille, on the left bank Of the Seine. but
her opening last week In the Rue Royale
as full fiedged couturiere marked her
first big step into business. Nine. Yteb.
as she now prefers to be called, Is as
well known in American society in Paris
as in Russian. as she says she has some
claim to American nationality owing to
the fact that she Is a granddaughter of
the late George V. Lathrop. who many
years ago was American Minister to
Russia. His daughter, the mother Of
Mime. Yteb, was married to Russian.
Americans Mt Opening.
The Grand Duchess Marie Of Russia
and the Duke and Duchess Of Louchten-
borg were among the Russians present
at the opening Of the house and among
the Americans were Mrs. Lehr. Mrs.
Samuel Nave. Mrs. John r. Drexel and
Mrs. L. NJ. Cuthbert.
The other Russian house in the Rue
Royale which held its formal opening
last week is Paul Caret, Of whom I
have spoken in this column before. Paul
Caret is Lady Egerton. Russian by
birth-Princess Olga Lobanoff- -Rostov-
sky. She Is on intimate friend OF
Queen Olga of Greece, and through that
friendship made the greater part of the
trousseau of Princess Xenia OF Russia.
who was married to Mr.. William B.
Leeds.
The Maison Carel is still another new
house which opened last week. With all
of these new houses opening for the
winter efh women just commencing to
think of winter clothes the long estab-
lished houses are talking of spring.
Jenny showed an extensive collection of
advance spring models yesterday for the
first time for the foreign trade, which
revealed the fact that there are q gooo
number of buyers here for this time OF
tho year. There were as many as n
hundred in the showrooms which fact
might be counted as an exceedingly
good sign that business is picking up.
1t Is interesting to note that Jenny
is not making her spring skirts any
longer. Her street skirts can still be
called short. as they are a good ten
inches or even twelve from the ground,
anu HeI eNeIuis uTeSSeS are Oh ankle
length. She still shows the long waist
line. but not so much OF the big flowing
sleeves. A feature in her dressy models
is colored lace bodices attached 70 crepe
de Chine or satin skirts. and many OF
her crepe dresses are embroidered all
over In fine silk embroidery the same
color as the dress. There are not SO
many fancy separate belts. but the
waist line is marked by bit of braid
or narrow band Of embroidery with a
fiat motif. or usually fiat bunch or
silk flowers in pastel shades.
Foulards figure extensively In the coll
lection. Spring coats are lined with fig
ured foulards ana tho same silk appears
on the collars and cuffs. And little
fouiard frocks have capas OF one color
lined with foulard. Jenny. who always
makes more or less of feature OF her
demi-season display. has rarely shown
more modish collection. Every froclx
Is attractive, which offers an encourag-
ing outlook for the spring.
