But behind all these waverings lie vast responsibilities. For doea not fashion hold a number of trades and industries In the hollow of her hand? Fhe says, for Instance, that we are to wear ribbons. That branch of the trade Harts Into activity Instantly. Fhe decrees we eholl wear furs, and what a fearful difference II would make to the peltry trade If she should chuage her mind. Changing modes In precious stone affect the market to an extent undreamed of by those who do not study the subject. Kea (fliers, artificial flowers, trifles Ilk the tiny beads and sequins, all play an important part. Even places start Into prominence that otherwise would never be known on the map In Connection with some variety of lore, silk, velvet or embroidery. We 11 know that the word "Valenciennes" stands for a narrow wash lace In our minds rather than the name of a town. Just aa the word Itiande" used here In Faria means a guipure of today and not the "dithreasful counthry." How funny it is, when you come to think of It, but these straw show only too dearly the way In a hlch the great wind of fashion blows, R R Of course there are women who will always abuse a reigning fashion. Last year tha tlptllted hat was considered smartness itself. This did not please that part of the community that had reveled In Gainsborough chapeaux, who entirely forgot that they had had most faithfully and fully. I their turn Hata are now all sorts and sixes, tiny and enormous, tlptilted and straight. And yet everybody Is not happy. I tell you what, my dears. If you cannot find a becoming hat nowadays 'the fault must lie in your face or in the way you do your hair. That at least you can change. But of course all this Is. fashion's fault it always Is and f&ithion smiles, and at you, meailamcs, I fear.
