A FEW NOVEL IDEAS.
The latest notion in kid gloves is halffingers, which notion is more economical than becoming, and is hardly likely to last. Nowadays, no scents are mixed. There is not one scent for the hair, another for soap, a third for the handkerchief, &c. A fashionable woman must be touts a la violstte, or touts a la any other essence, or riendu touts. -By her perfume shall yon know her, as you know a flower. The newest thing in curling-sticks is made of hollow brass, which, being filled with hot water, curls and crisps hair a mcrveille. What next? One of the latest fancies of the Paris milliners is to trim hats with feathers dipped in some preparation of gold and silver. With the fashion for feathers, birds of Paradise, and other birds are again becoming in use as decoration for ladies’ bonnets. This is a pity, and we trust our colonial friends will set thenfaces against the practice.
