Two little mensong of balls and parties are enough to m tablish residence in Paris, and the rest of the year becomes a merry migration from one resort to another.

And then there is a less formal fashion how at the incrs, The mannequins and the smart women stroll about the padlock, and their costumes are the newest of the
