Th effect was that the beautiful Freno goods which really show exquisite wor Deanship -were rendered unsaleable, an many dealers 'suffered severely, but a GliStOM so prevalent with the fashio - able Parisians could not long be do meat in America. They have be gradually increasing in popularity til this year.
