GLIMPSES OF THE SUMMER FASHIONS

Carolyn Wells

VOICI! Madame et Mademoiselle, The fashions! Do they please you well? Mad fancies of the Summer Season!

Think not you can resist their spell.

SEE! Hats that hint of quaint romance,— Flow'r-laden brims of wide expanse; Again "Bo-Peeps," of saucy daring,

O'er coy coiffures may tilt askance.

I ONG disappeared from mortal ken, That trap to snare the souls of men,— The spit-curl, ringolet, beau-catcher,— What name you will,—is here again!

AND in the newest Fashion's race, Insolently, a foremost place The all-round bustle claims, and boldly It flaunts its smart and daring grace.

THE pannier and the pantalette Supplant the spiral minaret;

And Turkish trousers, long and filmy, Are welcomed by the dancing set.
