strles OF american women.

If a foreign lady, from a foreign
land, should be asked the question
by her countrywomen, what style of
bonnets do the American women
wearg" we think it would be
unanswered. As we sat in the
rear of the car going to
New York the other morning we took
a grand view of the bonnet situation.
There were sixteen women with no
two hats alike; six with feathers, no
two alike. either in shape or color;
only two with hair done up alike.
There were twenty-four men with
derby hats; two with soft hats; IN
''stove pipe;" twenty-five hair cut
short; two hair long. or what used to
be called Carlow style. 1t could be
easily seen what the prevailing
fashion was for men; but women?
