SHORT wAIsrs.--In 1894 short waists became
fashionable; and that portion of the body which if
teen years previously had been preposterously long,
reaching nearly to the hips, was now carried up TO
the armpts. This absurdity occasioned waggish
parody on the popular song, 'the Banks of Anna
which begins with


shepherds, | have lost my love;


Have you seen my Annsp
The parody began with


shepherds, | have lost my waist;


Have you seen my bodyl'
The gown was worn still open in front, but without
hoops and fell in straight, loose folds to the feet,
which were decorated with shoes Of scarlet leather.
Immense ear rings were worn; the hair was frequent
ly unpowdered, and from 1874 to 1897 large ostrich
or other feathers were worn, singly, or two and
three together Of various bright coors, blue green,
pink, &C., standing half yard high.
