Crinoline in History.

The oft-threatened return Of the
crinoline, prophesied by alarmists OF
fashion, leaves us all wondering. We
find that the crinoline was first worn
in the sixteenth century by Spanish
princess, who used it to conceal her
love letters from forbidden admirer.
According to pictures of Queen Eliza
beth she was the first to wear it in
England, a writer in the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch states. Perhaps she
wore it for the same reason. She had
need of pockets to hide such, provided
all her admirers wrote to her. Among
her earlier portraits we find that her
dress resembled that of Queen Mary,
her sister. The skirts of these were
simply widened at the bottom.
