mere nothing will grow and grow until it
forces itself upon US by mere accumulated
momentum. Some newspaper correspond
ent makes the random statement that green
is going TO be fashionable. The statement
goes all over the globe, and we shall have
such demands for that color as oblige US to
use it, and so 1t finally does become fashion
able.
Women with pretensions to dress want
to wear what is unique. They consult per-
haps their taste, perhaps their style, per-
haps only caprice, but it must be something
new. As soon as IL is known that an ex-
elusive house has made certain kind of
costume, or used a certain fabric, every
body else wants it; and as soon as 1t has
become common the exclusive house ceases
to make or use it, and the exclusive women
throw II aside,
There are women eager to copy what
the original thinkers in dress wear and the
original woman as eager to drop their own
creations on seeing them initiated in cheap
material and worn by vulgar people. and
this is now the only distinction between
fashion leaders and the rest of the world.
lit is division between those who want
to wear what everybody else wears and
those who want 60 wear what nobody else
wears, and their leaders are leaders against
their will.
"As to what is going to be worn, all that
| have said goes to show how indefinite the
answer must be. One great dressm aking
house says that one style will prevail; an
other claims "a different mode The empire
is having some popularity. 1t was five
years ago that we made the first empire
gown. We sold four the first season, the
next season we made perhaps twenty; now
they are the rage and-we are not making
them any more.
1--WE are going to make small waist effects
and round skiIts just brushing the ground
in the back aud very wide at the bottom.
How wide the skirts are to be may be un-
derstood when tell you that we have just
made gown that has sixty yards of silk in
it. AS to crinoliues, to the letters which
every post brings demanding yes or no on
that subject say hope not, think not.
At the same time, it may well transpire
that the enormous fullness in the skirts will
demand some sort OF support, something to
keep it out and in place"
1t was raining-that is, it was not exactly
showing. One girl | met, says Clara Belle
in the Times Democrat, had on an old, glazy
rain cloak one of the first kind that came
out, with little bags TO carry them in, and
that were so terribly ugly, although they
kept out the wet as the later things of
/ beauty do not. Hers was all bulgy, because
! she had a lot Of bundles under it. all OF a
/ sudden, with great chatter, a bottle fell to
| the pavement. Ii was such a bottle as men
| carry whisky in, and also the kind that art
students use for their turpentlne. OF course,
! people laughGd d. She was embarrassed, but
! quietly shut her umbrella and recovered the
/ bottle. Then she hurried on, the shut UNI
brella under Eer arm. This was too much
for her other bundles. A package OF draw
ings tumbled out into the dampness. She
stopped quickly and the umbrella ran into
| the eyes of the man back OF
her. She turned to apologize. and
the umbrella swept two children and their
! mamma into the frozen gutter. Then the
wind caught one drawing. She put the end
/ OF the umbrella on the other and reached
! for the one that was starting down the
4 street. This made her fall over on the UNI.
! brella as she held it upright. She looked

think Of that. The man behind and the
man in front tried to restore her TO heI
feet, the one by one pushing at her feet and
the other by pushing at her head. Mean
while the umbrella began to crack and che
girl TO scream.
IL tell you that the umbrella broke, that
she bad Co be taken to the hospital, that
there she met the man whose eye she had
put out, that they fell in love with each
other-you won't believe it; but as | went
out into the street around the crowd made
up my mind that girl who could do all
