THE FLOWER CRAZE
There is hardly a material of which flowers for personal adornment have not been made, remarks an overseas writer. There are flowers of rubber, of leather, of wood, of wax. of almost all the metals, of shells, of cotton wool, of raffia, of silk, oT cotton, of wool cloth, of felt, and of feathers. And each sort has a claim to fashion. In London recently a number of verysmart women have hoen wearing enormous flowers like peonies, made of the wool cloth of which their suits or wraps are made. Imagine am enormous oxfclood tweed flower worn high on. the shoulder so near to the collar that it touches the neck and tickles the chin when the head is turned. To wear with knitted jumpers and sweaters tliero are buttonhole or shoulder flowers made of the yarn from which the garment is knitted. The for “laid-on” skirt hems .—very pronounced in Pans—is influencing the footwear designers, who are i turning out shoes to match such hem*, whether fashioned of silk, or velvet, or lino leather.
