TIT RICHIE FASHION,

At the beginning Of the ason it is
well to look with suspicion upon the
fashion which seems most in favor,
for there always hoyers round it the
danger that a little later it may be-
come common.
This is just what las happened this
year to the fascinating ruche. Early
ID September 1t appeared as n of the
fall novelties. 1t came in the effective
changeable taffetas, with q narrow
velvet edge, and could be bought BY
the yard.
Women SOON saw that the ruche
could be used in many ways, and that
invariably its fluffy tullncss was be-
coming.
Then and there tho downfall of the
ruche began. Now it is seen more
often on the streets than any one Of
fashions friils.
Every second hat II meets is
trimmed with a ruche, and though
many Of tho hats are French creations
and costly, the popularity of the ruche
detracts much from their distinction.
Hats made on Third avenue are now
ornamented with a ruche.
AS for the taffeta ruche used as a
boa, one sees it everywhere. So the
women who are fond of exclusive
things ale respectfully putting aside
the ruche,-New York journal.
