Fashion’s Commands.

It makes hut little difference whether the weather is hot or cold, whether the times are hard or easy, fashion drives roughshod along the great highway of life, and she has a great pro. cession following at her heels. The young and the old are there, and the lords of creation are as anxious to hear her mandate as the weaker sex. It is amusing to hear men laugh at women for following so closely the latest styles, when in reality a new way of tying si neclcscarf will give them as much concern as the “hang” of a skirt does the dainty little lady who wants tb look just right. We are alike; we all want to look our best and be up to date. It is a duty we owe to ourselves and our friends that we make as pleasing an appearance as possible, and we all make a desperate effort to do it, although we may not acknowledge it even to ourselves. “My tailor” and “my dressmaker” could tell tales if they chose about the vanity of the world.—Philadelphia Times.
