The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1890-05-04

American ladies, graceful and tasteiui
as they are, can scarcely put forth q
claim. out OF their own country, to be con-
sidered as leaders of fashion, says the
London Standard. They only follow, very
intelligently and very enthusiastically,
the fashions set by London, Paris and Vi
enna-that is to say, they resort to the
best known dress and mantle makers OF
I the three great European capitals just
named. In the way of bonnet building
they give decided preference to Partisan
milliners, and from the gay city they also
draw their supply OF lace, OF lingerie, OF
gloves, and OF boots and shoes; IL
will generally be found that American
ladies Of fashion contentedly p~atronize the
most expensive purveyors OF costumes
and It's minor accessories. To be excel
lent customers of first class milliners and
dress makers, however, is a very different
thing from introducing q new mode, or
