When Ladies' Wore Masks,

In the seventeenth century ladies
wore masks in public. and great was
the variety Of face screens that were
seen. Ladies' who had "corallne" lips
preferred them short, as was natural;
for others who wished to hide the
lower part of the face the mask was
completed by Il chin piece Of linen,
which afterward passed under the chin
and over the ears. In 1862, says NJ.
Engerand, new mask called the
mimi, from the Italian mimics, was all
the rage and threatened to usurp the
place of the black one. 1t was even
the cause Of violent quarrels between
the ladies who held to the latter and
those who preferred the latest novelty.
Some years later it became the fashion
to trim the upper part of the mask
with a ruche of lace. to lengthen it
with beard of the same material and
even to cover it more or less with lace
to the borders OF the eychOles. Young
ladies of this period, however, fire.
quently cOntented themselves with
covering the face simply with a piece
OF black Grape for cOquetry's sake and
to appear the faircr.
