A Revival Of the cren-
adine.

New York.-A curious study for
those interested in the history of cos
tune is the widespread results of an
accidental cause in the national adop-
ton Of some detail of fashion. A great
King, for example, develops scalp
trouble and loses his hair, 80 every
gentleman Of his day shaves his own
locks and adopts periwig to be in the
movement.
A modern emperor has a defective
left hand and wears a bracelet to aid
him In using table implements, and
every young officer in his empire
with any pretensions of smartness.
promptly puts a bracelet on his own
left arm. A great officer loses an
arm. and the one-sleeved jacket is
assumed as the distinguishing mark
of a hussar forever after.
Perhaps If we knew the real in
side history Of every radical change
In the mode. we should find many
queer reasons, and quaint stories. The
immense vogue of silk this season
Is said by the cognoscenti to be due
to the fact that war has closed the
wooden mills of northern France.

Tenedos.-War is q good teacher Of

this little island, whose existence was
previously unknown to the millions.

When night came and It was seen

in their hearts that the day of their
deliverance had not yet come.
It was not likely that, with the

would have been left for long undis-
