Fashion Repeats Itself.
Mrs. Burnham, writing from New York

Mrs. Burnham, writing from New YORK
to the St. Louis Republican, says:
The mems trOwsers are swelling, and the
women's skirts are shrinking. Its just like
having both legs in one pantaloOn, to wear
the present fashion for ladies. If this thing
continues the women will be wearing the
breeches in good earnest, and the despised
petticoat will adOrn the neither limbs of
recreant. hitherto arrogant man. In the
year 1886. and lowered white silk hat, my
mother was married, and with the discre-
ton belonging to those days, she ripped up
that hat and laid it away for future refer
ence. Nearly forty years have flown, but
that brocaded silk is the rage to-day. and
some huge bows that adorned that wondrous
hat are of the damask ribbon tor which
New York is going wild just now. The
wedding dress that accompanied this bon
net had more silk in the sleeves than the
skirt, was quite short and sported small
knob on the breast like dwarf pin
cushion. stuffed with COB Of cotton, with
folds of silk radating from it, like the rising
sun sort of business you see on hand-orgOns
and old fashioned cottage pianos. This was
the then popular Butterfly waist" We
havn't got to that vet but damask ribbon
and lowered silk and skimp skirts and
strange and uncouth shapes in bOnnets are
here on the spot. As far as can see we are
RELYING the DAYS of 1886, and going back to
first principles. As my mothers weddlng
hat has got back. there's . chance tnat
may be born again. Thst's an operauon
much to be desired, for except ye pc dorm
again We can not see tho end OF the beecnef
trial.
