MANNEQUINS OF PARIS.
INTERESTING FEATURE OF THE
GREAT DRESSMAKING ESTAB
LISHMENTS.

Selected for Their Uennty of Fare

Carriages—One of the Old French
Nobility In a Maane<iiiln—Ma ny
Engliah Women Serve In Thlit Ca
pacity— Hcud Mannequin In One
House la n Virginia Girl From the
United States.
An Interesting branch of the service
in the great coutouriers’ establishments
in Paris is that of the mannequins.
A mannequin is not a little man, as
one might be disposed to believe; she
is a woman, generally young and beau
tiful, and always nearly perfect, ar
tistically, in figure and "style.” It is
her duty to appear in the “salle d'ex
pcsitlon,” or showing-off room, wear
ing the latest style of costumes ap
propriate to different society func
tions and parading before the cus
tomers. Also, she sometimes serves as
a "trying-on” machine, wearing be
fore them the unfinished robe, so that
alterations of detail may be made up
to the last minute.
These mannequins are exceedingly
well paid, and as they are always
dressed in th? most ultra chic fashions,
the position is much sought after. At
the great coutouriers’ some of the
"mannequins" have been unsuccessful
actresses, young women who had taken
to the stage on the strength of their
fine figures or stately carriage. In
point of earnings, if not in point of
glory, they have little reason to envy
those who have succeeded on the stage.
Some of them arrive every morning at
their “shop” in as brilliant a “carriage
and-pair” as whirls a great tragedienne
to the theater.
At one establishment the manager
told me as a dead secret that among
their mannequins was a real, live mar
quise. This lady belongs to one of the
old noble families of France; her an
cerstral name was renowned in the
court records of the seventeenth cen
tury; her brother is still owner of
what was once a splendid chateau in
the Landes of Gascony. By the decay
of the noble house, as the resulit of
the political upheavals which have so
often altered the face of French so
ciety life, the chateau had to be
closed and the family to go into im
poverished exile. This courageous wo
man finally decided to "go into busi
ness.” She is very beautiful, reproduc
ing the traits and figure of a famous
ancestress, a beauty of the court of
Louis XIV., whose portrait hangs in
the Louvre. Her handsome salary as a
mannequin is helping to restore the
chateau in Gascony, and with it the
social prestige of her family. For busi
ness purposes she is known as “Mad
emoiselle Annette,” and the American
ladies before whom she parades have
little idea that they are being served
b> a member of the old nobility of
France. "Mademoiselle Annette” be
comes again in the evening "Madam
la Marquise de V ,” and, in her tiny
apartment off the Faubourg Saint Ger
main receives the representatives of
the royalists aristocracy. They over
look her "disgraceful connection with
trade” for the sake of her ancient name
and her wit and beauty.
"Mademoiselle Annette” is. howeve--,
a startling exception to the general run
of the mannequins in' point of birth.
Most of her colleagues are girls whose
beauty and grace have raised them
suddenly from the utmost obscurity.
One day a week the managers of the
big establishments open their doors to
prospective mannequins, for they are
always in search of attractive young
"demoiselles.” Sometimes girls who
come in the morning in pitiful poverty
stricken attire leave the place in the
evening robed like princesses. In
several of the Paris dress-making
houses there are English-speaking
mannequins: in one the mannequin-in
chief is an American girl, a Virginian.
Besides these living clothes-pegs, if
the expression be not too brutal where
there is so much beauty and chic, there
are hundreds of women and girls em
ployed In a big coutourier’s place, in
one no less than 900. They work at
cutting, stitching and broidering in
great ateliers, lofty and cheerful, and
the whole immense establishment Is
filled with the hum of thair prattle.
The young Parisienne is naturally the
merriest of human beings, and these
500 girls have special reason to be
cheerful. They work under exception
ally pleasant conditions at one of the
best trades for women, since Paris
fashions prevail everywhere. In their
surroundings they are well oft and
their faces and costumes seem to tell
of happy general conditions.
A good many of these girls are for
eigners, who work in the ateliers of the
noted Parisian houses by way of quali
fying for the title of -pupil of worth,
or pupil of Paquin,” in their own coun
tries. They are earning, so to speak,
their Paris diploma, the better to ex
ploit their home public, in America
or England. And it is only fair to say
that even though they have not ex
actly the right to the proud title of
pupil, they necessarily acquire consid
erable skill by working, however hum
bly, in these famous establishments.
The big prices paid to the great cou
tcuriers represent the client’s absolute
certainty of having the best possible
orkin~"b'p; and the simplest sew
ing woman of the staff has got to give
that or to “get out.” Many modistes in
the large American cities owe the be
ginning of their vogue and success to
the severe and highly skilled training
they received during their year or two
under a Paris task master’s eye.
"If,” said the manager, "we got a
commission on the buslnes of all the
girls whose prosperous career com
menced in these ateliers we could go
out of business at once millionaires
And,” he added, ”not a little of our
income from this source would come
to us from the United States.”

From the London Mail's Paris Cor
respondent.
Despite what is being said about
champagne being dearer on account of
the unsatisfactory vintage of this
year in France, there is no real un
easiness felt about the matter among
champagne men here, who are even op
timistic over the situation, and predict
rather a fall in the price of champagne
than an increase.
What has probably given rise to the
rumors that the champagne vintages
for 1901 would be of mediocre quality
is that the abundant rains which have
fallen in France before the gathering
of the grapes in the Bordeaux and
Burgundy districts have seriously in
jured a great quantity of the grapes
which furnish the wines of these
countries.
The vineyards of Bouzy, Cramant,
Verzenay, as well as those of the hills
of Reims, where grapes for cham
pagne are grown, have, however, been
almost miraculously spared by these
rains, and the majority of the grapes
which have been gathered there are
of a quality neither Inferior nor super
for to those of ordinary years. It is
well known that the champagne of
France is not the product of one single
district vine grown in a single district,
as are the wines of great reputation in
Burgundy and Bordeaux, but the pro
duct of many kinds of vines mingled
together. Thus black grapes and white
grapes, in the proper proportions, are
employed to make champagne. The
proportion of the latter used—that Is
to say, the white grapes—is always
more considerable than that of the
black grapes, because when the latter
dominates an inferior quality of cham
pagne is produced. The really expert
connoisseurs of champagne always
refuse champagne which is not abso
lutely limpid and clear, the result of
a greater proportion of white grapes.
It is all the more difficult to say at
present if the champagne of this year
will be good or bad, because the num
erous operations necessary to make It
are hardly commenced. The principal
manipulation of the wine for cham
pagne-making will only commence In
December, and the whole manufacture
will only be finished in May next —that
is to say, in 1902, when the vintage
ot this year will be bottled.
This, however, does not mean that
at that date the 1901 champagne will
be put on the markets and sold to
consumers. On the contrary, the bot
tles will be sent to the immense cel
lars of the great houses in Reims,
where the champagne will be allowed
to grow old. Here the wine will re
main for five or six years, and it is
only at the time of its withdrawal from
these cellars, in 1906 or 1907, that one
will really be able to judge of the
veal quality of the champagne of 1901.
At present the great champagne houses
who respect their brand have hardly
commenced to deliver 1895 champagne.
For thirty years, the years which
have been the best for champagne are
1874, 1880, 1884, JSB9, 1892. 1893, and
1895. The other years have been medio
cre. with the exception of that of J 894,
which was frankly bad.
The year 1889 was of all years the
most remarkable. The champagne
merchants then bought from wine
growers the quantity of wine they
needed at the price of £64 the 200
quarts, and to-day a heavy premium
is paid to secure the 1889 champagne.
The champagne merchants, however,
as a rule, are not pleased to have
wine of the 1889 quality on the markets,
"or, while they are obliged to pay the
grape-growers a higher price for the
vintage, they are unable to charge
their biggest customers, the hotels,
cafes, restaurants, and commissioners,
more for a case of 1889 champagne
than for that of an ordinary year.
The result is that only the public pays
the premium, and the champagne
manufacturers do not profit. Upon this
account the current price of a bottle
of champagne purchased in France at
the mother house is 6s. sd, although as
much as £1 is paid for the same
champagne In the restaurants.
So far as the rise in the price of
champagne, owning to the reported un
satisfactory vintage this year, is con
cerned. it Is most erroneous to suppose
there will ha an increase in prices, for
there is a general marked tendency to
ward a fall in the price of champagne,
the whole market Inclining toward
lewer prices.
France produces something like 5.000-
000 bottles of real champagne, of which
3,000.000 are destined for abroad, and
particularly for England, which im
ports the major part of the best
French champagne sent out of the
country. This champagne is, for the
most part, what is called here the
“brut” wine, (extra dry)—that Is to
say, it is without the least addition
of sugar. To satisfy the French, Ger
man, and Russian customers’ taste,
however, the champagne makers are
obliged to add a certain quantity of
cane sugar. A short time ago even a
little cognac was added, but it appears
that at present this latter custom has
almost ceased.
These are the figures which, approxi
mately, cover the real champagne con
sumption. However, no one will be sur
prised to learn that an infinitely great
er quantity of champagne than that
mentioned Is annually drunk in the
worid. Both in France and abroad a
large amount of fabricated champagne
is consumed, which has only one real
quality of good champagne—that is tc
say, the trademark. Germany, in par
ticular, manufacturers great quanti
ties of this imitation champagne for
Its home and export trade.
Concerning the French champagne
export trade, it is most interesting to
note that the greatest champagne
Ironses in Paris—and the most compe
tent experts in champagne have been
their mouthpieces—declare that all
talk of a rise in the prices of cham
pagne is but a bait sent out to catch
the uninformed public abroad. In the
hope of really creating a rise in the
price of champagne sold retail, at
least for the customer.
It is easy to understand this. as
IWI champagne, even if it were poor,
which is denied at present, would not
effect the price of the other years'
vintages until five or six years hence.
If there were a serious lack in the
quantity of the vintage, then a short
age might, even sooner than the
periods mentioned, affect prices, but
tiie quantity is neither more nor less
than usual, and as the majority of
the champagne experts also say the
present vintage Is neither inferior nor
superior than usual, but about the
same, this means that even if there
were not a tendency to a fall In prices,
the latter would naturally be practi
cally the same as far as this year’s
vintage’s effect upon the market is
concerned.
Of course 1889 champagne—the best
of the last thirty years—will every year
be more valuable, and on account of
this an increase in price may be rea
sonably expected for It; but 1889 cham
pagne was an extraordinary exception,
and even wine growers do not expect
such a year more than once in every
fw generation*. Ordinary eharnpegru
of the good qualities will not, however
it Is quite certain, increase in price:
and champagne lovers may reassure
themselves, at least for the present
