Queries as to Wearing Of Bustles

of course, no one. not even the most
active exploiter of the hustle. who per

slightest idea of reviving the hustle
IL was worn ton ago. Ole
styles are never revived that way. Bu,
there is decorative effect about tho
hustle that might prove very accept
able after the eXagseratedly fiat sill
houette of the past few years. And II
may be that il is because women fee
this To he the case that they have Sc
much to say about the hustle.
Another question is asked. Car
women wear bustles. even the new
version of the hustle, and go about
with shorn locks? Really that oue~
tion ought NOT to call for much pause
n women want to wear bustles and
shinGled heads wRv-theyll wear
them. There are No inherent princi
pies about drsss-women can wea,

Some one suggests even that his

that the feminine movement died ir

makers thought Of bustles." 1t doesn'
