Chinese Women Of Fashion.

Never before have fashionable ladies
of China shown as much interest in
European costumes as they are show
ing now. Though, like their spOuses
they are conservative in almost all
things, they have not Of late been able
to close their eyes to the charm of
modern fashions, and as a result they
are now wearing on festive occasions
a costume which is partly European
and partly Chinese and which is alto
gether a notable specimen of the sar-
torial art.
1t is light blue in color and silk is
the usual material of which it is fash
toned. Over a long gown which is CO.
piously ornamented with embroidery
and miniature paintings falls loose
WrapDer. and beneath that is a small
jacket reaching to the waist. Around
the neck is a collar which is a distinctly
European feature; but, on the other
hand. above this is headdress which
is decidedly Chinese and the latest in
vention Of distinguished tailor in Pc
king.
Thus. while Chinese ladies of high
rank dress in some respects like their
European sisters, they still continue to
differ from them in some very essential
| respects. 1t has been conjectured that
| the reason may be because they are de-
termined not TO initiate them too close
" and that this is why they are now
wearing such picturesque headdress.
l wonder why so many pretty girls
| disfgure an otherwise attractive face
| by chewing gum. The expression Of
| the countenance at such a time is, to
say the least. inane and recalls the
| thoughtless calm of the ruminant
| | wonder why women who pride
| themselves on the daily bath, daily
manicure, daily hairdressing, are will
| ing to sweep their gowns over filthy
| sidewalks and the dusty floors of
| shops.
