Paris.-After all these years, Par is at last has had a fashion show that had an idea behind it other than just merchandising the new est creations. Famed Designer Ar danse Baroness AccurtD achieved the miracle with the presentation of her collection Around the Clock with 8 Parisienne."
 From the moment beautiful mannequin stepped out of the flower bandbox clad in a filmy lace gown until the last evening and bridal gown was unveiled, the chronological presentation was carried out.
 Runs Gamut of Modes
 Leading artists of the fashion world collaborated with her to introduce a harmonized wardrobe essentially practical, yet compre- hensive for modern requirements and almost aggresively feminine in line and details. It included two distinct sections -- the Parisi- enne as a debutante and as a young matron. Such numbers as the first wedding dress, a "d!- vorce" dress and second mar riage" dress were featured.
 The first daytime model show ed the Parisienne as she steps off the night boat train from Lon- don, attired in a slick travelling ensemble. Then came choice of sports suits-for tennis, golf or bicycling. A suave ensemblbe for lunch with her fiance, glamor- ous party-dress in dusty pink and white linen, and an mod ernistic wedding dress. embroid- cred in dull white beads, with jacket and helmet on the lines of an aviator's flying suit, completed the first section.
 Novelties in Fastenings The second half started with Arrival in London" and featured a morning ensemble, an after noon dress, a cinema dress, an in formal dinner dress and stun ming Court gown in silver metal lized linen. ending with an ultra sophisticated Second wedding gown in yellow linen and mar quisette.
 The Parisienne's style day is brimful of new ideas, not only il, actual technique in but coloring, mediums and details.
