All France Girl Naked Full

The last couple days of covering backstage at Paris fashion week have been a crash course in "how to look like a cool French girl without really trying." The Chloé, Rochas, and Anthony Vaccarello shows had models coming down the runway with a spot of blush here, and a slash of liner there, their hair thrown back in a messy knot or left flowing gracefully as they walked. And I've been taking some notes on just how to pull it off because, you know, pourquoi pas?

At John C. Miller's place the house was only onestory, but it spread over what seemed to be a half acreof land. A square hall, which was a favorite loungingplace for everybody, had wall paper delineating scenesfrom India. Women walked toward the Ganges river,smilingly tripping along with huge water jars on theirshoulders, in full view of another woman descending thesteps of a temple, with a naked baby, poised aloft, tobe thrown into the sacred Ganges. A crocodile ruffledthe blue (very blue) waters, with jaws distended, readyto complete the sacrifice. That sacred river seemed tocourse all around the hall, for on another side were anumber of bathers, who appeared to be utterlyoblivious of their vicinity to the mother and babe, not tomention the awful crocodile.

The sun was already proclaiming a bright spring daywhen I inhaled the odor, and opened my eyes to a full-blown rose on my pillow; and gracious, how good! asteaming cup of café au lait. On our descent to thebreakfast room we received an effusive and cordialgreeting from M. and Mme. Valcour, and their daughterFélicie, a girl of my own age. The air was redolent of thedelicious odor of roses, the windows open to the floorupon the garden, the floor of the room not one stephigher than the garden walks. The Valcour Aime housewas a two-story structure. The long, main buildingfaced, of course, the roadway and the river; there was along L at each end, running back, thus forming threesides of a square court. A broad and partly jalousiedbalcony extended entirely around the three sides of thebuilding, fronting the court. This balcony afforded theentrances to a seemingly endless series of living andsleeping rooms, the whole housebeing, so to say, one room deep only. The first floor,flush with the ground, was entirely paved with squareblocks of stone or brick. There were to be found thesmall and the grand dining rooms, the master's officeand den and the various and sundry domesticdepartments. The salon opened on the second floorbalcony. The paved court below was protected by thedeep balconies and an awning. The assemblage of allthe family and the favorite resort of their multitudinousguests, madame's basket, mademoiselle's embroideryframe, the box of cigars, the comfortable loungingchairs, were to be found in that entrancing court.

The first visitor I recall when I was a bride in my newhome, was a distinguished, eccentric, literary man, abachelor, and a Creole, brim full of cranks and kinks,but a delightful conversationalist withal. Before hearrived I knew he was coming from a visit to anadjacent parish where his great heart had been touchedby the witchery of a young girl. With his Sancho, theDon Quixote had been storming the citadel, and tocontinue the simile he struck a windmill, and so was putto flight. Now he was accepting my husband's invitationto rest, and salve his wounds at our home. I wasamazed when my housemaid told me he had not onlybrought his valet, but his own linen sheets and his coffeepot! I understood then why he was not an acceptablesuitor. Linen sheets and the coffee pot would scare anyprospective housewife. When I knew what a blunder hehad committed, I confess to little sympathy in hisdiscomfort. That old gentleman died full of honors anddeeply lamented, in New Orleans, a few years ago.

All the people I entertained were not queer. We hada house full always of gay, young people, young girlsfrom the North that were my schoolmates in NewHaven, girls who were my playmates, and the friends ofmy young ladyhood in New Orleans, fresh, bright,happy girls, who rode horseback, sang and danced andmade merry all through the house. All are gone now.Only the sweet memory of them comes to me in mysolitary day-dreams.

A few years thereafter the poor old man, who hadone daughter with him to solace his declining years,passed sadly away, and I was summoned from myplantation home to the stricken girl. She tearfully toldme the story of his flight, which had never been revealedbefore, and, together, we turned the leaves of the wornand faded diary he had kept during that exciting voyageto the Spanish Dominion, where there was noextradition treaty to compel his deliverance to hiscountry. In the early days, when there were notelegraphs, no cables, he managed to support his wifeand daughters in New York by acting as commercialcorrespondent for several newspapers, both in NewYork and New Orleans, and Charleston also, I think;but that business died out, and be gradually became tooinfirm for an active or sustained occupation.

Presently two young girls we had not seen presentedthemselves and invited us to enter the house. Upon ourdeclining with suitable thanks, a mother came from thehouse and a grandmother, and we had to accept thecordial hospitality, with a sneaking feeling we had invitedit by appropriating the tempting resting-spot. In the tinyparlor was a life-size, full-length portrait of aConfederate officer in full uniform, Captain Sambola, ofthe Washington Artillery.
