Wearer.
The "highwayman" hat is charming
with it's gold and silver braidings, its
cockades, and hundred and one varia-
tions; but how soon we shall tire of it
when we see it produced with tawdry
trimmings! Gold or silver is ideal for
garnitures, but it must be of the best,
and best only.
Furs as trimmings are charming. Tho
best skating frocks show trimmings of
sable, mink and even ermine; the lat
ter especially is very costly. The cream
and white cloths and corduroy velvets
now in vogue are vastly improved by an
edging of mink or sable, though marten-
tail is good substitute. 1t is in skating
frocks that we shall see the most perfect
specimens of the short skirt; it is at its
best cut with somewhat full frill round
the feet, which assists in giving that
graceful swing that makes skating such
a pretty pastime.

Hairdressing at the, moment admits
