They are displayed by more than a score of beautiful girls playing part of mannins. The method of display is also unique. The show takes place in an elaborate salon in which tables are set with wines and delicacies for the customers. Not a sign of a gown is in sight for display pur- poses. Finally when the custom- ers. are beginning to wonder where the display is, the lights ate turned out, and a circular platform with framed pictures of men and women of the past stands out at one end of the room.

Lights are concentrated on one picture at a time from within the circle. The portrait goes up like a curtain and behind is revealed the pretty mannikin in

The potraits are used to show the resemblance of the modern style to that of fifty or 100 years or more ago, it being claimed that styles go in cycles and that the Parisian contourlers copy many of their fashions from the past ages.
