IN BORROWED PLUMAGE. - ; Well Dreeeed , Weaaea Wk .wear Geed teat M Aarval. : When the ways at some women are considered, it Is leas remarkable that tucb numbers of women dwelling in the lurge cities dress extravagantly than before their methods of securing rich costumes for alt occasions hay been scrutinised- :'. , . There are women, and many of them very , wealthy, who - make : regular practice of having elegant garments sent to their homes on approval, wear ing them once and then returning them, to stores or costumers. Borne women will wear a dress or a cloak to the opera and send it back next morning. Or they will get a hat or wrap and go driving or visiting In it The average person would be astonished to know all the things, from handsome umbrellas and fans of grot beau y to Jewelry and clothes,' t.t soiue women bor row from the shops. J Of course all of these women are not well off, but they all dress well and go out a great deal, and although the shopkeepers often discover the manner In which they are being deceived, they do not always like to make a fuss for fear of losing a good customer. Besides they know that If they incur the enmi ty of such impostors the women are quite capable of abusing their goods and robbing them of other and more honest customers. Strange as it may seem, these women generally mingle in pretty, good society, or the. fringes of It, and have some influence in the matter of dress, since they have won the repu tation of always dressing elegantly and In the newest things., t " ,;- This sort of imposition had been car ried oti so often by a customer of a cer tain Urge firm that Its members deter mined to put a stop to her flaunting about In, borrowed plumage, at least when the plumage belonged to them. One Saturday this woman bad a splen did wrap sent home on approval, and on Sunday one of the bead clerks of the firm who knew Mrs. Blank as the Offender ' stationed himself near her pew in the fashionable church; which she attended. When ahe sailed down the aisle after service, resplendent in the borrowed cloak, this mart stepped op to. her and said: : vi- :v :'v?V; "How do you do; Mrs, Blank? I am delighted to see that you like our cloak vreir enough to keep"ittS vi course alter mat sne coma not re- turn the cloak, Still, with all the effort put forward by shops and costumers to break up the pernicious habit of forcible borrow ing ion the part of sundry feminine cus tomers; the practice goes merrily on, and many a fair dame with an envi able reputation for. exquisite dressing appears but once In garments and hats that when next seen are bedecking an other, woman or banging in the show room of some smart shop.
