"BUTTONHOLES."
AS LARGE AS HATS. (from oub own cobrespondekt.) LONDON, November 26. The fashionable buttonhole is growing out of bounds.. The modest gardenia, which was the pioneer of the present vogue, has given way to massed effects, in which many and van-coloured blooms are, often used, or, if a single flower only is worn, it is of -prodigious size. Smart women in Bond street wore, pinned to their fur. wraps, so-called "buttonholes" that were at least equal in size to their hats As many as 150 violets, for example, go to the making of an ultra-fashionable, dome-shaped posy. Another type of nosegay much favoured approaches a dinner plate in size. This stylo suggests usually one of the conventional . Victorian posies, deprived of its paper frill, but flattened out to the contour of a pancake, It is not only the artificial if realistic looking buttonhole of feather, rubber, leather, or velvet that ministers to the prevailing fashion. The fl rists' windows are full of buttonholes of striking originality, and a speciality is made of matching difficult''modern colours with Nature's own products.
