A ROMANTIC RE-UNION
BRIDE FINDS LOST SISTER.
A MANNEQUIN IN PARIS
A romantic and affecting scene was witnessed a few weeks ago in the salon of a fashionable dressmaker in Paris when an aristocraticlooking couple entered and asked to be shown some of the latest styles for the woman, a bride, to purchase. The mannequins thereupon filed before the callers, displaying fashionable splendours upon which the lady commented with a pronounced Slavic accent. Presently she fixed her gaze not upon a dress, but upon the face of the mannequin who was wearing it and who returned the look with eagerness. Together they both cried aloud: “Sonichka!” ‘“Natacha!”
They were sisters, daughters of an arostocratic family, who had been separated by the terrors of the revolution and had never since met. Each supposed the other to have been done to death by the Bolsheviks. The one had become the wife of a rich South American, the other had worked for her living as a dressmaker’s model —a lot to which her brother-in-law intends she shall no longer be doomed.
