JEwELRD CARRIERS.
The ladies are now wearing jeweled gar
tiers. We gain this information from the press,
and so state upon information and belief. 1t
seems to US that this is rather peculiar move,
but it may be all right. What effect it will
have upon the fall elections we cannot say at
this moment, nor what the result will be look
ing at it from social standpoint. We mean,
of course, looking at the question under dis
cussion, not the garter itself. Probably the
next grand stride in the fashion line will be
artificial rats scattered around in convenient
places so that the wearers of moss-agate gar
tiers can jump up on chairs and howl. This
is about the only way we can see for the pub
lie to be benefited by the prevailing style of
garter. DEMONSTRATED carriers might be
hung on the hatrack in the hall where visitors
could peruse them at their leisure, but after all
that would be kind of hollow mockery. 1t
would be like attending ballet where the per-
formers wore ulster overcoats.-Bill Nye.
