SO much in the way Of introduction. Now
what shall We talk about? Suppose we try some
FASHION DOTS.
There are some queer things in the way OF
f.shions this year. The latest freak, which
Comes right flesh from Paris, is to wear mis-
matched gloves One of one color or shade
! and the other of another. What do you think
of that don't like it, l had as soon see
girl wear one red stocking and The other blue.
The object of either would be to attract atten-
ton, and am not In favor of such " loony
styles to get young men TO look AT Us.
| Some women rig themselves out in queer
style, Just to be considered original. read the
| other day about Amelia Rives Chandler, the
new Southern literary star, appearing at u ball
wearing queer style Of shoe. They were made
of soft glove kid and had little pockets for each
individual toe-just like fingers OF glove.
| What do you think of that?
Plain and striped vevets are very fash
! ionaole this winter for garments, hats or
parts of costumes Armure cloth is quite
stylish for tailor made walking costumes
and dark veronese reds, in combination
| with old rose and gobelin blue, make
| exquisite house costumes. Sage green and
white is also stylish combination. White
