A Fad In corsets That Costs Money.

n v M III NOTNtt6 nav N'NlN 'iph'1s
A recent bride distanced all of her
contemporaries in the value Of one item
Of her trousseau and it is said by her
friends that she thereby set II fashion
that must henceforth be followed hy all
brides Of any pretensons in the world Of
society. While it is, Of course, the rule
for the exppctant wife to have her bridal
corsats made far more deliberately and
extensively than has been her former
custom often having them embroidered
most dclic9tely, it is declared that this
instance is the first where gold was used
in the place of steel, both for the clasps,
the cyelcts and the laCing tips.
The few intimate friends of the bride
who were permitted to gaze upon the
mysterious portion Of her outfit had
their attention called to this feature of
the beautiful corsets, and they say that
examination showed the metal portions
to be composed of gold as described.
One young woman had the temerity
to ask what the advantage of gold was,
and she was informed that it did not dis
color and was in every way preferable
to steel, ~ was generally agreed that
che idea was an awfully clever one, but
at the same time it was regretted that
the world at large would not know
about the gold. No one dared to ask
how much the corsets cost The price,
however, was 500 pair, and the bride
had three pairs, one in white, another in
pale blue aud the third in black. New

Some present Partisan fancies should
be described, If only to emphasize their
stiffness. 1t is grayely announced that
Scotch terriers are the fashion OF the
moment, because their color accords
with the caprice for gray gowns for
spGrg Wear. The dog has bit of scar
let ribbon IN his collar, and thus, when
he is abroad with his mistress, the bit of
color she would not wear gives the needed
effect to the gray tones.
1t is also stated that a language of
st.nps, which it is important should rs
unlerstJ,5, prevails in Partisan society.
