a woman's fame as a leader of fashion
and to lack of observation of this
fact can be traced the disappointment
many experience in duplicating q

arbiter of the modes expresses it, no
detail should be left uncOnsidered from
the size of the feet to the color of the

there come fluffy little, imitation curls
to be arranged around unlove fore
heads and above the curls should be
worn a half wreath of leaves or flow
ers.
Very pretty lunches of violets come
for decorating the couture, but word
of warning must be given concerning
them. They should not be worn unless
the gown is of harmonizing shade. |
