Ia the Interests of art It to 10 be hoped that women will not rash blindly Into fclp draperies. Tbs’ first fashions must always be modified Is -the first rule in the gar e of dress. They cannot be accepted wholesale, und some woman must always transform them to make them becoming. The I’retich woman passes from one fashion to another, and < her figure, complexion, 1 gait with greater ease thi en of other nations; therefore sh* can be more daring, bn? fashion has decreed that the wide watotHn* shell be maintained.
