broidered in metal. and the coIors are

blouse IS quite chic When a light color
IS employed FOR the lining. the color IS
dark, and vice versa. All these blOUses
are cut low in the neck It IS curious
how quickly a style changes. \ month

cOrsages and bIouses- NOW we see

Posdche

There has been such a decided change
IN the methods OF arranging the hair
that one looks OId-fashioned at once Il
one OF the new coifures has not been
adopted
It certainly has been a most welcome
relief, this laying aside % the masses
OF pufs and cUrIs OF al descriptions
which were piled onto the head and
which IN inartistic hands became veri-
table caricatures for the fatteT, more

But with the enthusiasm which We n
America always display toward q novel
mode We hive rather overdone the
braidS and similar coutrfvanCes and
the women who delight in original and
exclusive effects are now swearing ale
