At last we know what Mrs. P.

death for over 20 years,
Mrs. P. Palmer is going to do as

Of course, that wouldn't be proper
in the ordinary woman, but then
Mrs. P. Palmer is much more than
that.
Mrs. P. Palmer is one of chicago's

And, besides that, she is very rich.
Which makes a difference, of course,
in this democratic land of the free

Possibly you don't like my talking
about fashions so much, but you must
remember that there is scarcely any
thing else to talk about.
Seeing a real live model in one OF
the department stores the other day
wearing a pale green wig with her
absinthe gown of figured crepe de
chine caused me to stop and think
that, of course, for these new colored
wigs the hair ornaments will have to
be different. With the absinthe gown
and hair there must be pins set with
emeralds. For the rose colored gown
and hair, the rubies; and turquoise
and sapphires for the blue wigs. with
an amethyst for the purple and Law

Now, you would never have thought
all these changes would come with
the simple dying of hair! Yes, and
later on we will find that other
changes will have to be made. That
is a trick of the trade-that eternally
changing fashion.
