Perishable Materials.

Everything nowadays, except lace and jewels, seems to be perishable in very short space. Tulle, chiffon, silk velvets and taffetas moire have no stamina, and even furs are dressed and cut about to such an extent that they are utterly fragile. And yet, with all this, we are progressing toward common sense in our way of dressing. We no longer tight lace, we need not pinch our toes, it is very bad taste to wear a glove a size too small, and we wear much less false hair than we did a year or two ago.
