 The Age-Herald claims that one of the leading society women of Birmingham dresses on less than $500 per year and I don't believe 1t. They look all of them too handsomely gotten up, too swagger and chic to give credence to any such tote. If a woman goes about to theaters, card parties and balls she cannot possi- bly dress on any such amount, unless she has everything made at home and does a great deal of it herself One wo- man I know here has already spent $265 on her winter outfit and many have spent a great deal more. l know one mother and daughter who had bill Of $500 with Glover of Louisville one year, and pay as much as $50 each for hats They never wear d pair of evening gloves but once, though most people clean them a dozen times. Another woman has spent $10S for her visiting dress this winter, but it has two waists, one decollete. A young girl who goes about to everything says she doesn't spend more than $75 per an- mum, but she makes everything she wears and dresses simply. You can't eat your cake and have it, and if you want peacock feathers to strut in you must pay the bird.
