PARIS, April 95th. There is perhaps no city in the world so maligned and misunderstood as Paris Visitors from all parts of the world pour into the French capital every day, stay, onza average, a week or so, and then move on to fresh sights and impressions. As the majority of these visitors have a large banking account, they stay at some fashionable hotel in the Opera quarter or the Champs Elysees, they go to expen sive restaurants, visit the shops in the locality, and spend one or two daring evenings up Montmartre way, finally de rting with their entire impressions
of
and the French founded on what they have seen in these different haunte Of the real Paris, they know nothing, Their judgment is founded on the unreal Paris, which is as cosmopolitan as New York, and on the dress which is offered to strangers in the guise of amusement and which their patronage and money alone perpetrate.
One of the most erroneous impressic s visitors to Paris receive in that of French, women, based naturally on the women they see on the Grands Boulevards; in smart hotels and restaurants, who are no more typical of French women than is the rest of the make-up of these places. As a matter of fact, the majority, like themarives, are strangers to Paris; or else belong to a class which is not included in good French society and is in no way ever taken as an example.
One of the points on which these un- fair impressions is based is that of dress. Strangers see wonen with bare backs and exaggerated decolletes, others with skirts to their knees, others wearing every new freak that is launched, others again wear ing as much make-up as a professional puts on for the stage, and so on. The stranger is impressed by these sights; the Parisian knows they represent only one phase of the multiple life of Paris,
As a matter bf fact, there is no woman so subdued in her dressing as the Erench- woman who is really typical of her race. She dresses well-ot, to do so would be to fail in het, métier de femme-but she dresses ever so carefully, choosing material, colour and design with an ever watchful eye on the final blending and effect. Moreover, her attention to amounts to a veritable cult. She an far more thought

And
a rule; she has few clothes-n woman with a moderate income will rarely have more than two frocks year,-but. as thess and every detail of hat and accus sory to be worn with thers are chosen with such care, the wearer always creates the impression of being eleganty dressed. A Bermon might well be preached to women who aim at dressing well and in- expensively on the subject of attention to detail, the acha past mistress. For in

stance, nothing in the world would in- duce this type of woman to wear a hat trimmed with a colour which is not re- peated or does not harmonise with the colour of her dress or its trimming; she would never even wear grey silk stock ings (which are so fashionable now) un- less the rest of her toilette were in some uniform shade harmonising with grey, or unless wore repented in the trimming of her hat, the colour of her blouse or the embroidery on her costume. Further more she would never think of carrying anything but a dark bag to match her costume, or else a grey bag to match her stockings.
Such an art is the result of good taste and keen judgment, taught by one gen- eration to another; but it also has its roots für deeper in the passion for economy which is one of the most remark able national traits of France. By this meins. French women not only dress well. but they also prove that they can dress becomingly and elegantly with less than half the money most other women spend to dress badly."
