‘EVE’S RAMBLINGS.

SUMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE =
OF THEM.

The last excuse is gone. So long as
women had at least loyalty to serve
them, when they could say that it
was almost as patriotic to patronize the
products of the country of Lafayette as
to patronize the home product, there
was some right and reason for Paris
shopping.

American fashions might be quite as
eﬁective and admirable, but the Gallic
hall-mark counted for much, and, sen-
timentally, it was the next best 'thing
to sporting one’s owu colors. ‘

But with the expression of French
sympathy with Spain, as shown in the
present war, American appreciation
for French fashions becomes unpa-
triotic. '

Tho“woman’s war on France,” as it
is‘vcalled, may not sound very, very
deadly, but if carried out to its ex-
treme extent it may play much havoc.

Just now it looks as though it might
‘win with many recruits and become an
important factor in the international
game that is being played. ,

' Women from all over the country are
signifying their willingness to boycott
Paris millinery and all other products
of . French fashion, and there is no
doubt that ever solittle a boost would
give~tﬁe;movement great momentum.

Ofthe impetus it will mean to domes-
tic‘d‘esigns and manufactures there can'
be no doubt, and if the war has no
otherbeneﬁts, this alone is enough to
be grateful for.

It is the modern reﬂection of that
spirit which in 1176 refused to touch
tea that. bore the British tax and
which to-day forswears‘ all millinery
having the French stamp.

The exaggerated politzncss of some
