Show NEW FAD. I How the rp-to-Date oirl Stall Bar I Letters. My lady has a new fad about her pa- ; peterie which this time has nothing to do with the size or shape of the envelope en-velope or the tint of the paper. The fad has Just begun to gain a hold on New York society girls, but It is seen often enough for the letter carriers to , hare noticed It, and if you carefully j inspect envelopes the fair sex have used that come to your notice you will i soon see what it is. When she seals ! her letters now the up-to-date girl no j longer puts the seal in the apex of the triangle made by the flap of the envelope, en-velope, but carefully sets it about two Inches to the left, as the envelope lies, address side down, on her writing table. ta-ble. Just what the reason for this is or what the origin of it was none of the fair ones who are following the fad seems to be exactly sure. "It's so novel, though," one of them explained, "and the seal really looks much more artistic off to one side than planted right in the center." Rumor has It that the fad started from a letter received re-ceived from a New York girl now in Paris who has quite a reputation among her friends for doing original things. As so many of the styles and fads come from the capital of France, that seems as good an explanation as any. |
