Yes. and babes and children, and every
thing else Fashion is every hing-and noth-
ing There is neither reason nor common
sense, comfort nor COZ venience about it. One
season she will pad women up till they look
like hogsheads. and the next squeeze tn EN-
up till they may be compared to eornstaik-
deck the head at one time with bonnet near
~ the size ola Windmill, and at another with
one hardly big enough for mouse's nest
dress men one year with coat skirts as narrow
as possible, and the next fasten on them skirts
wide enough for an over-coat-gives them tall
hats one season and short the next broad b1ims
give place to narrow ones, and bell-crown to
peaked-and allows the lads 10 90 a courting
before they are old enough to be fairly free
from their mothers apron strings. Fashion is
fashion and will be, men and women must fol-
low the fashion, let them be ever so ridiculous.
We would give not little to see woman full
rugged of 1929, $50 and '3l--with hooped dress
large sleeves, sfiffners, and the big bonnet with
all her hair done up in form. We wonder that
some Yankee girl who has preserved a full set
of gear don't start and exhibit herself in FASH
ion. II would be a grand speculation, and we
doubt not excite more attention than an eIe-
phant and draw crowded houses and yet that
fashion was not more unbecoming than the pres
ent-Fdctorg GiriS' Garland.
