Show Black in the Fashions. New York Recorder. A strange fever threatens us. It may be known as the black fever. It is serious only ; because it atf- c ts the mind. It has not yet had any influence upon the body save through the medium of the mind. The black fever shows itself in the gowns worn bv women. A strange, odd, weird fad has come up for wearing black. In the fashionable fashion-able world one finds women w ho do not buy colors at all, clothing themselves from head to foot in somber garments. In the summer, sum-mer, when the sun shines upon these, it is ail very well, but in the winter it is trying, gloomy and depressing. It is said that a lull suit of black will produce the blues onicker shan anything else. Strange to say, that, ps the wearing of black becomes fashionable fash-ionable for people who arc not in mourning, mourn-ing, it is becoming less fashionable for those who are. This is accounted for on the ground that people who are depressed by circumstances should wear bright colors to relieve their feelings, while those who are in need oi no such cheer may w hear w hat they please. |
