One Hundred Years Ago.

The curious modes which women
affect now began as far back as 1898,
which is period we should hardly
wish to copy in most respects. A
dance not at all unlike the tango was
In vogue at that time, and had many
exponents, who danced In loose bod
ices opening in V shape from the
shoulders almost to the waist. Skirts
were slit and were often made of
transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns of that
period, which were without waists,
having simply a girdle to the bust,
with skirts caught up rather short in
front and slightly trained at the back.
In 1900 women wore sandals and
bare feet. Corset belts were only
about two inches wide. Some gowns
were caught up to the knee with large
canoes. Soon fashion overreached it,
self, and then came crinolines, pointed
footgear and unnaturally small waists.
Are we coming to this?
