Bracelets, although they are some

Round waists and Gemi-trains are

oil reception or evening dresses, espe-

Sealskin retains its popularity remar-

Strings on bonnets are rarely worn

manage to make these formidable look

The newest hat for ladies is decidedly
after the Continental style and to the
majority of young girls remarkably

Gray hair has became very fashiona

who desire to be in the fashion, some
considerate fellow has introduced a
whitewash for the ladies'. 1t is warran-

easily washed out.
