Proper Way to Fasten a Kimono.

The kimono is one of the things that has “come back.” L The Duchess of Sutherland Is teaching her English and American friends how to wear the Japanese garment. The robe, she says; should be fastened froin left to right. Only when used as a shroud for the dead Is It fastened from light to left. The kimono Is a favorite gift for Orientals to bestow on each other, and the wealthy women In Tokio announce the new year with a cluster of flowers and a box of exquisite workmanship In which nestles a kimono. They give the same present year after year, much as the western women give handkerchiefs, gloves or hosiery.
