" The fashionable peculiarities of the ladies of the period are pretty well embodied in the following rather extraordinary questions propounded by one of the con- temporary writers of the time: "Why do they adorn themselves, with so many colours of herbs, fictitious flowers, curious needle- workes, quaint devices, sweet-smelling odours; with those inestimable riches of precious stones, pearls, rubies, diamonds, emeralds, etc. ? Why do they crown themselves with gold and silver, use coronets and tires of several fashions, deck themselves with pendants, bracelets, ear-rings, chains, girdles, rings, pins, spangles, embroideries, shadows, rebatoes, versicolour ribands?
