FASHION AND LAUNDRY
The wave of fashion revivalism continues relentlessly and women are prepared for almost any come-back, since the crinoline made a successful return with the Queen leading the vogue, states a London exchange. Even so, the. news that the oldfashioned white cotton petticoat, befiounced, lace-trimmed and ribbonthreaded is numbered among the revivals for spring has taken women by surprise. Petticoats in form of silk and satin slips have been part of the smart feminine wardrobe for several seasons, but these are comparatively unobtrusive, often slender in line, easy to wash and iron and can he packed into small space without creasing. Full white petticoats as launched in Paris are another affair, for, if the fashion should prove a popular one, it will bring back the elaborate old-style laundry technique.
