Show Make Over Thir Dresses. There are often good fashions growing grow-ing out of national disasters. At the time of the French revolution the style of wearing the hair high on the head was begun and was designated as "a la guillotine."

At the White House receptions Mrs. Olney, Mrs. Carlisle and indeed all of the cabinet ladies have worn the same gown more than once and have even resuscitated the toilets of last year and subjected them to some brightening up and alteration, which, though perhaps per-haps not apparent to the ordinary observer, ob-server, has not escaped the eye of those who know the gowns and the women well. It is now quite allowable for a society writer to state that "Mrs. Blank-enblinkwore Blank-enblinkwore her most becoming gown" and. to describe the familiar toilet. And why not? Washington Capital. |
