| have gone out" On the contrary they are
very much worn The flowers in season are
selected, and lilacs have been popular during
| the early summer. Now roses are the fash
| ionable flower, and to make them appear
| more natural they arc mounted on long, feX-
lille rubber stems. Sometimes as many as
| six or seven JaCquernnot rosebuds, nearly
| blown, are fastened together and worn in the
belt. Wild roses are fashionable, and SO also
