TT Is said that there are but five

clock. So.
Each represents one year, and
such time is required. tits told, for
the temperamental dictatrix to

Since Nature and Fashion never
have managed to associate in
amity, not all locks that were
shorn by the sartorially small girl
have again attained the required
inches for a top-head dressing.
Accordingly purveyors of crown.
ing glory are fareing well and busi..

And while hats are popular as
ever they were. specially autumn
models. they have lost their old
time place Of supremacy.
Each woman wears a hat these
days. How else should the world
know that she owns a new and
fashionable one? But she wears 1t
hooked over her wrist instead Of
upon her head!

Low-brow brands of the variety

The very final dernieres nou.

Whether this indicates that the
feminine smoke Is losing socis

yet. What lonesome places the
Park Avenue tea-rooms will be-.
come IL this is so!
Proprietors Of various smoke
salons, scattered throughout the
upper Fifties, have told me that
American women do not accept
the habit gleefully as do the Eu.
ropeans.
Holders. nevertheless. are more
frequent and intricate than they
were. They are not so long, bur
more expensive. Avenue Jeweiry
shops are showing some OF amber
