Observations extended over a long
course of years had communicated the
impression that their complaisance in
this connection kne no pounds. They
may regret the necessity of clothing
themselves in things which they are
very well aware make them look a
fright. They may wonder at and de-
plore the amazing ingenuity exhibited
in continuing cuts and frills and pat
terms which have nothing but their
novelty to recommend then n which
do shameful violence to h gracious
lines and contours of the female form.
They may secretly sigh for emancipa-

they are held. But when it comes to
the pinch they act with an impressive
and significant unanimity upon the
principle that one may as well be out
of the world as out of the fashion and
they meekly array themselves in the
manner upon which the modiste and
milliner insist.
