THE FILLET.
A FASHION STARTED IN oLpEv TIMES BIT TOPPER.


a fAShioN STAkIED IN oI.DEN TINES BY A TOpERs
HEADACHE
1T ts strange" said dealer in new articles Of
fashion, 'that the vice of drunkenness should
contribute anything to the adornmeat of women
but the origin Of the fet was among old topers
The fillet came back into use with the fashion
that superseded the heavy plaits of hair. the
innumerable curls and the finger puffs with the
style of arranging the hair so that II would show
the general contour Of the head. Although the
new fashion was said to be an imitation of the
Grecians yet IL Is conceded that women cannot
do better than initiate the most beautiful nation
of the world. The fillet came back with the low
classic coil for bound around the head IL defined
more plainly its shape and brought out in good
effect all the s,umbering warmth that might
exist in dark or light hair"
But what is fillet."
Don't you remember Popes line a belt her
waist. filet binds her hair!' Ii was the orig
inal diadem worn by kings. and i'm those days il
was woven of silk thread or wool. and was
sometimes embroidered in gold and set with
precious stones. As luxury increased il became
larger until IT became the golden dadem. The
fashionable fillet of to-day is not necessarily of
gold or precious stones, but some of the DANES
OF our miiilonaires will probably appear at the
uaiis TINS winter with q fortune in filiet For
the masses. however. there are offered pretty
bands of faceted steel and brilliant lets VARYING
in width from fourth to three-fourths of an
inch. The steel fillets. or bands are usually
worn singly: that is. single band is considered
suffclent ornament for the hair; but i'm Jets the
tillets are made i'm double and triple as well as
single bands. those consisting of more than one
piece being Joined at the ends. The pieces con-
verge where they are concealed by the hair and
diyerge at the crown. The ornaments are
almost universally becoming. The interesting
point about them is that Bacchus invented them
for wear the morning after his reyels. His fol-
lowers complained SO much of their heads. after
bout with him. that he devised the fillet to
relieve the after effects of the wine, and taught
the old topers to bind it tightly about their
heads so as to cause intense compression. This
is the origin of the most becoming headdress
ever known, and women with low, broad brows
oval faces, clean cut features and general Gre
clan outlines must sing the praise Of Bacillus,
ever fair and Young"

And below: and they fiy away

While their victims burn, or shake.
Whence came, and where do We GO,

We are natives of Buffalo
Where the Hamburg breezes blow.
And we go to the weary and sad

We kindle flame in mems veins
We dance on the valves of their hearts:
