PARIS FASHIONS AND GERMANS. German dressmakers and leaders of Berlin Society have crept back slowly but surely to Paris since 1920, or thereabouts, in search of the latest fashion models. Before the war South Americans were the first largest buyers of the models, and Germans, little as we dreamt it, the second. To-day South Americans are still first, and North Americans are second in the race, but Germans are returning to Paris in their hundreds. They give orders for models that are favourites with the women in New York, rather than those of Paris or London. “UNKNOWN” ROYAL DUKE. The Duke of Gloucester is less familiar as a personality to London people than his three brothers, for the simple reason that he is so constantly away. Often he will laugh and uay, “They don’t even know me by sight in town.” Keen as a sportsman, and genial in manner, he is liked by all who have got to know him.
