Show A Scrapbook of Fashion. A bright woman has been making for toany years a collection that is far from completed, that is absolutely unique and that has great intrinsic value, says the Philadelphia Times. In the early days of the late war she began be-gan a scrapbook of nothing but fashion plates. This has been added to from time to time until the one volume has grown to several. It is a wonderfully interesting sight, the passing in review of all the absurd fancies that have flourished in these thirty odd years. There the Grecian bend, the chignon, the waterfall, the pullback, the crinoline, crino-line, the tiny bonnets and the pokes, the large bustles and the large sleeves. Only extremes of style and oddities are used or the collection would swell beyond be-yond all proportion. As it is, it is the eource' of much mirth whenever she brings It out as a "company trap." |
