The Vogue of Artificial Flowers.

For number of years artificial flow
ers were entirely out of fashion. Hats
and bonnets were trimmed with rib
bons or with ostrich feathers Many
manufacturers of flowers were ruined by
this long continued freak of style. They
have their revenge today, when their
products never were in so high favor.
They are worn at present not only on
headgear, but also as profuse garniture
for evening gowns. Many women have
light frocks adorned with tiny bouquets
that dot the whole skirt. The floral col
lars and collarettes, the blossom be-
decked tiny mutfs. all assist in dispos-
ing of thousands of these fragile trim
mings at this end of the century.
