Perhaps the most dangerous fads are not Of the

verdict is wise. Opinions Of classes and individuals
however matter how loudly or emphatically ex-

of some of the fads of this origin. There is for

So extravagant are the fashions nowadays
that bread-earning women complain of the
impossibility of finding effects which com
bine smartness with good taste. For the
Saturday afternoon jaunt, not having time
for a change Of costume, they put on in the
morning gowns which are all right IN them
selves for the pleasuring in prospect, but
which are entirely unsuited to the require
ments of business life. Then aside from
the annoying attention which these too
fixy tonettes involves they are often in tex
tiles and colors which will not stand the
wear and tear of half-holiday needs. Be
fore the day is over they have taken on a
wilted air, crisp ribbon bows are crumpIed
thin laces torn; and when the clock strikes
twelve, so to speak, the fine young woman
of the morning returns to her abode like
Cinderella of the fairy tale.

signs in this especial quarter one of New

For the children white is always good,

Perhaps the most remarkable headgear
which the coronation preparatory brought
forth is not the kings crown, but that Of
the Prince of Wales. The existence Of this

Guilty. Moreover, it must be caught alive
and the feather plucked from the tail of
the living bird, as instantly after death the
plumage loses its luster. Hence 1t is not re-

OF dozen hunters and are worth 10000.
