New York.-Nnkee Doodle, who
stuck feather IN his cap and called
II ~macaronl," til ereby creating a slang
word for a gaySy dressed man which
has gone over two continents and
lived In history, could not have felt
prouder than the French king who
put a piece of straw over his head TO
heep away the rain, and created hats.
Both the feather and the straw
we're trivial incidents in the life Of
each of these characters flor the
satire on Yankee Doodle was rhymed
around a mani, but they were the
foundation stones of millinery.
Women have always pilfered from
men their tricks of apparel, asserts
fashion writer. They are snug little
thieves, women, when IL comes 60 pet
ty pilfering from those VINO consider
themselves superior beings. After all,
il Is a form of coquetry, and women
discovered centuries ago that nothing
so pleased a man as to do what he
did, say what he said. and hold on TO
his hand socially, financially, pOliti-
cally and mentally. A woman might
hate another woman for stealing her
fashions, but a man would only look
with more prideful alteration upon q

waisteoats, the precious lace RIFLES
and the silver and diamond buttons

allowed them to borrow their coifteurs |
In order to have their hair perfumed, |
powdered and curled. They saw
themselves reflected, as In mirrors, by |
the groups of women surrounding
them.
The milIiners have not permitted
themselves to be limited by any one
period Of history. They have dipped
with eager, curious hands into all the
ashes and embers of the planets past
and produced for the modern woman
a tumble of things that were once
worn by her predecessors.
