WIFTLY the tides of Fashion change in this fast-moving
world of ours, and srrangely enough oir Yesterdays often as
not, appear again as smart Tomorrows. That's what has
happened to us this fall .. .Victorian Fashions, discarded years ago
along with horseless carriages and maidenly mannerisms, have
cropped up again to become big news to the world of Fashion.
So now we talk about leg 'o mutton sleeves, Jabots, high neck
lines and tiny muffs, and we get just as excited over them as
'did our grandmothers, way back when Victoria reigned.
