For the latter has always shown herself a rebel to the duly constituted authority, no matter whether monarch- ial or republican. History teaches us 'that there are no decrees that excite a greater amount of popular insistence than those of a sumptuary character. Under the circumstances it remains to be seen whether or not she will prove more successful in her determination to dominate La Mode than all those other royal and imperial ladies who have attempted the task, and who' have all been compelled to ac- 'knowledge'-defeat, with the exception of Empress Josephine and of Empress Eugenie, neither'of them of royal birth. It may be questioned whether Queen Mary had in view any war upon Dame deavor to lead the latter, she declined Fashion when she caused the Lord to have anything more to do with'her, Chamberlain to intimate to the leading an.cI. having ascertained the style of dressmakers and to their customers co*ffure and toilette that suited ber +���������,���������* ^ ������������������ ti *i t^- 1, best and which was the most conduc ting she as well as the King would Ive to her good looks, she "has adhe.ee! view with displeasure the wearing of thereto, without according any atten- the hobble skirt at their court, or at tion to the changes of the mode, and .ic costume of the Turkish women ol' the Parisian Opera Comique wero attired in the latest creations of the great courtiers of Paris, their toilettes conform ing in every respect lo the decrees which she, Eugenie herself had issued. Queen Alexandra, so immeasurably popular iu every respect, could never succeed, no matter how much she tried, in putting a stop to the wearing of the plumage of wild birds, and especially of aigrettes. She frequently expressed her views about the matter, but never ventured to go to the length t of prohibiting this form of adornment in her .presence as Queen Mary has done in the case of the hobble skirt.

It is understood that in giving expression to her ideas to the Lord Chamberlain about the matter, she was influenced in the first place by her sense of propriety, which was offended by the fact that the fashionable skirt of today is so excessively scanty as to accentuate the lines and the curves of the wearer to almost the she still wears today her hair crimped and dressed in the same way as a quarter of a century ago, while the so-called "Princess gowns," which were named after her some three decades back, still constitute her favor- it garb. Moreover, she has for the past 25 years or so invariably affected small hats or toques and no one can ever recall having seen her in a picture hat, or in any other of the passing extravagances of fashion. Queen Victoria at one moment oilier reign made an unsuccessful attempt to render Irish poplin fashionable by decreeing it for court wear, her idea being to foster this branch of Irish industry.

It ��������� must be borne in mind that the Englishwoman, in the matter of dress, is usually disposed to exaggerate the Parisian modes, thereby impairing their elegance. And so it has been with the jupe collante, which is far more collante when worn by an Englishwoman than any Paris- ienne would venture to affect. Then, too, the tight skirt is absolutely fatal to any graceful courtesy. Formerly very deep and sweeping in its movements, this form of homage to the reigning house degenerated during the closing years of the reign of Queen Victoria into a mere dip, sometimes known as the "Charity bob," which betokened indifference, carelessness and undue familiarity. The progress of the war in which Queen Mary now finds herself engaged against Dame Fashion will te watched with interest, not alone by women, but even by men, who are wholly indifferent, as a rule, to chiffons. If she is victorious she will add to the reputation which she already enjoys of being a very remarkable 'Thf-vmany friends of Mr. J.
