 Paris.-The presence of the Duch- ess of Windsor in Paris has caused quite e fiutter in the more exclusive dressmaking establishments, all anx- ious to have the privilege of dress ing one who was not only the hero- inc of the most romantic love story in modern history, but also consid- cred the best-dressed woman of 1897.
 Her first visit, however, was for her favorite courturier, Mainbocher, who has dressed her for several years and who made her wedding gown and rousseau. Anxious to add new winter clothes to her ward- robe, the Duchess was shown the entire collection in a private salon, while crowd gathered outside to catch 6 glimpse of her as she left, accompanied by three detectives.
 The innate simplicity ot the Duchess of Windsor was apparent in the fact that she did not judge It necessary to make her first appear ance in Paris in last-minute styles. She traveled and did all her shop ping in ensembles that Mainbocher made for her last spring, only hav- Ing one or two new autumn hats made to wear with them. Like all women of good taste, Her Grace preferred to get the atmosphere ot the latest fashions before making her decision.
 As Q result, America probably will be the first country to see the great majority of the items in the Duch- esS' fall and winter wardrobe. Many of the costumes will not be delivered to her until she returns from Ger many Just prior to sailing for the United States.
 Blacks, Browns, Dark Reds
 Mainhocher reports that with the exception of a blue travelling ensem- ble, the Duchess has chosen mostly black, brown and some of the dark damask reds for her winter ward- robe. Day dresses are In soft wool ems, faconne wool jersey and the more discreet plaids. She ordered several of the new long, -waisted and draped jersey sweaters which Main bocher has featured this season as being more personal and more Pari- sian than the more banal kind which so often look as though you could buy them by the dozen.
 Dinner dreSSes-sorne short, others ankle-length-are in georgette and lame, all with high front necklines and long or short sleeves. Formal evening gowns of black velvet, tulle, lame and broadcloth were chosen. Several of the models were beaded and pailletted, and some had the very new longer silhouette that molds the hips. As @ matter of fact, the Duchess of Windsor has selected dresses which are the essence of Mainbocher'S collection, perhaps not the most spectacular ones, but just those models the average woman Of good taste will wear and feel com fortable in.
 The ultra-low decolletes which caused such sensation when the collections were shown in August do not figure in her wardrobe.
 Ten Hats From Suzy
 There sens no likelihood of the Duchess buying clothes anywhere else. She has looked at furs at Pa- quin's. but has not yet made her decision. These included long fur coats and capes. She has also shopped at some of the specially shops along the Faubourg Saint Honore, known to all smart women who visit Paris.
 Madame Suzy, the well-known modiste on the Rue de la Palx, was called In to show her collection to the Duchess of Windsor at her hotel, She ordered ten hats from the col- lection itself, nearly all ff-the-face models or toques, and chose the more conservative among the styles which Suzy launched this season. One especially attractive model in black velvet of Directoire inspira- ton, with @ bonnet" crown fitting snugly on the back of the head, IS trimmed with golden beige ribbon to wear with sables, Several of the other models are black and there are one or two in navy blue, and one n Q deep shade of sapphire, her favor ite color. She wore Q Suzy hat on her first official visit with the Duke
