The Parisiennes have suddenly become nature
shippers Corsets in the oldfashioned sense OF the

thrown aside wells have been voted oldfaShoned And
now we are entering upon period in which orna-
ments of all kinds be regarded with eyes of sus

white pearls which was her companion little
time ago.
This is carrying nature too far Not one woman in

added.
