But who does not knowsome woman whose taste and training are so perfect that fashion becomes toher a means of grace instead of a despot, and the worst excrescence thatcan be prescribed--a _chignon_, a hoop, a panier--is softened intosomething so becoming that even the Parisian bondage seems but a chain ofroses?
In such hands, even "featherses" become a fine art, not a matter of vanity. Are women so much more vain than men? No doubt they talk more about theirdress, for there is much more to talk... about; yet did you never hear the menof fashion discuss boots and hats and the liveries of grooms? A good friendof mine, a shoemaker, who supplies very high heels for a great many prettyfeet on Fifth Avenue in New York, declares that women are not so vain inthat direction as men. "A man who thinks he has a handsome foot, " quoth ourfashionable Crispin, "is apt to give us more trouble than any lady amongour customers. I have noticed this for twenty years. " The testimony isconsoling--to women.
And this naturally suggests the question, What is to be the future ofmasculine costume?
