course, in general design these styles do approximate
each other once in awhile by trick of chance or
something equally intangible, they may indeed be the
samebut in the greater number of cases, have been
assured by authoritative nfornants, the details OF the
two presumably contemporaneous styles quite dis

THE subject fashion and its genesis is lengthy one
with twists and turns than the beginning of the
Rue Zachare itself-and the beginning of the Rue
Zachare is probably the wstiest funniest street in the
world certainly the crookedest in Paris. For instance,
there is the allied subject of fashion in hats In gen
