Sarboe naturally supposed he spoke of Tom Haveril. "Conte with me, Sarboe? Or wait- ing here?" "I'll Come Back For You" Sarboe answered with a grimace and a shake of the head.

In Tudor Times Dieaapnearance of Paris as din- • tutor of women's fashions ends a rule of nearly 500 years, As early as 1515, the reputation of Paris for elegance hacl spread throughout Europe and a little Into. Shakespeare spoke of Paris when 'suggesting in "Hamlet" that a man is judged by the way he dresses, START OF RUFF Catherine de Medici of France launched the famous "eollerette" Or pleated white ruff worn around the throat. Jealous courtesans suggested that her dressmaker made it because she had an ugly neck and wanted to hide the wrinkles. But the fad swept the continent and England, as did the short skirt several centuries later. Men followed suit because Henry VIII had a scar on his chin he wanted to hide. The ruff reach- ed such an exaggerated size that it became impossible to raise a spoon to the mouth. That brought the long -handled spoon into be- ing. FRENCH NCH DOLLS CARRIED FASHIONS Although this collar is now called the "Mary Stuart" in its modern form, the history of fash- ion says that Henry VIII's .three chins gave his French couturier the inspiration for slashing the ruff down the front. fn spring and autumn, French dolls carried Paris fashions to all European courts. La Grande Pandora displayed robes suitable for balls and receptions; La Petite Pandora lingerie and gowns suitable for intimate par- ties or suppers whose modern counterpart is the "housecoat." It was thus that Queen Eliza- beth several centuries ago chose a magnificent gown upon which was 6,000 yards of hand -made lace. It was a crinoline so large tate Queen could not pass through an ordinary door.
