WILHELMlNA'S FAULT.
The Modest Violet Has Gone Out of
Fashion.

Fashion.
For the first time in many years the
violet has lost its place as fashion
able flower in woman's headgear. The
rose has crowded the modest purple
flower out.
The milliners say that it is due to
within of the young Queen of Holland.
The rose is Queen Wilhelmina's favor
lite flower. She wears roses, pink and
white and red, whenever and wherever
she can, and when her wedding trous-
seau was made in Paris, the makers
had to put lots Of roses in her tinery.
That set the fashion In Paris. where
there are not beautiful royal brides
every year, and all the Partisan milf
ners took the rose into high favor.
Paris sets the pace for the fashions
here, so New York women are wearing
roses too and violets only hold their
own at the florists.
Next year, perhaps, when probably
there won't be so interesting a young
queen to have a wedding, the little
punches Of purple may reappear in the
hats. But it is an interesting fact that
the fancy of the young queen of an un-
important European country Is setting
the fashion in a great republic many
thousand miles away.
