Mrs Brown: “Vour husband alwa\*s dresses so quietly.” Mrs Jones: “Does he? You ought to hear him when he loses his collar-stud ! ” The statement by the principal of a drapery firm that fashions now change about twelve times a year is verv puzzling to an outside observer. Surely fashion, except in small details, moves much slower than ever before in living memory. Women indulge sudden fads for sham jewellery, for certain sorts of handbags and scarves, but the main outlines of their dress seem to have an almost unprecedented stability. It ic worth notice that the clothes in films taken several j-ears ago do not vet seem absurdly out of date.
