FADS AND FANCIES.
MlNNA ScHArr CRAWFORD.

The style and character of a woman's
clothes have come to such importance
in life that she is a brave woman indeed
who dares ignore the cult of fashion
and defes criticism in garments that are
passe. A constant respect for the
changing fashions is no longer regarded
as an evidence of shall6wness or vanity
Quite the contrary; il serves rather to
emphasize a progressive spirit, a mind
alert, coupled with cleverly busy fingers.
The woman who does her own sewing
has much the advantage of her sisters
who declare they hate the sight of a
needle" With the aid OF a really good
paper pattern she cannot only have pref
tier frocks than the average, bat can re-
model her last years dresses and bring
them properly up to date.
