Nine Times Have tho Fashions Changed
Deviation of Styles.

From Life's Calendar.
Though the fashion in woman's dress
has changed hundred times in a hundred
years." said a young lady of observation.
''it has been change of detail rather than
of style, while the changes of costume.
that is, of dress which can be said 10 mark
Il historical epoch, there have been but
two. Similarly in mems clothing, there
has been but one radical change of cos
tune during the century-that from the
breeches to the trousers, with the inter
reSnum of the pantaloons. The change
in woman's attire, which was sufficiently
radical to be called change of costume,
occurred in lSl9-2O when the classical Rem
aissance, with its immodesty, its single
garment and its waist upon the shoulders,
went out, and woman became the bodiced
ana petticoated creature that you know
"of styles, as I understand the term.
that is, changes of distinctive fashion in
woman's garb, there have only been nine
during ths past 100 years, which, l think.
Well, that's rather hard question to
answer Let me see, now
From 1898 to 1913 or ls2O was the era OF
"F'rom 1870 to 1925 were the days of the
middle waist, short dress, no sleeves below
the shoulders, or elbows al furthest, and
natural shoulders.
From 1925 to 1895 there was distinctly
sleeves and bell skirts. In e fact our press es
ent fashions have been considerably based
on Lhat decade.

the crinoline, the longest rule OF a fashion
that ever prevailed, / guess.
From 1865 to 1852 was a period of evolu-

shrank little by little, growing simmer

agree with me that there never was a
