Empress Eugene is unde-
niably the dominating in
fluence in fashions for fall, so
let us look back into history
and find out what she wore
and how she lived. Empress
Eugenie was not a French
woman but q Spaniard, which
accounts for much Of the color
that enlivened the clothes Of
her time. She was born at
Grenada in 1926 and though
her father was Spanish, her
mother was a Scotch woman.
She was very beautiful and
when she went to live in
France she attracted the atten'
ton of all the faShionables
including the prince.
Wore Small Hats
She married Napoleon the
ard. in 1853 and the second
empire lasted until 1870. So it
was in those years that fashion
flouriShed under her influence.
Although she was beautiful she
was impressed with the assist
ance of good clothes. and had
very lovely things, though she
tried not to be extravagant.
All the women Of France copied
what she wore. so that she was
a ruler in styles as well as .
power In politics. It was be-

fetal announcement from the Bicen-
tennial headquarters for a gay event on
that night and there are still others in
view But, alluding to the early inaug-
ural event-three balls were given. A
very swell one, as the papers an
nounced, with the cream of society in
attendance and tickets selling at $40.
The other two were also inaugural balls,
there being no one place large enough to
accommodate them all-with tickets at
half the price Finding that the man
ayers of the swell BALI had neglected
to send formal invitations to the diplo-
mats and even some high officials, the
less pretentious or second ball invited
them, and their invitations were ac-
cepted Imagine the feelings of the
big ball managers when their evening
arrived, but without the lustc- of foreign
diplomats in court dress and even many
cilcisls missing. However, on the night

too many for that part of the Capitals
