The owner of "the loveliest legs in Paris" is ordering what she hopes will be the most sumptuous wardrobe ever worn by a star of the theater. One order she placed in Paris amounted to $80,000. The $80,000 bought what Mistin-guette described as her "super-frock" and half the staff of a fashionable shop on the Rue de la Prix worked on the costume. It is of woven gold lace, fitting closely to the bodice and with a full skirt, resembling a robe of medieval days. The principal item on the bill was a butterfly design of diamonds, rubies and sapphires.

The idol of Montmartre, who had her legs insured for $100,000. probably is the richest music-hall artist in the world. "Mile.
