VICTORIA WILL NOT “BANG.”
The present excellent English queen is eminently sensible in her domestic notions. She cannot endure the modern idiotic habit of women's wearing a low fringe of hair across their foreheads. An English exchange says that her majesty sent special instructions to the bridesmaids at the late wedding of her son, the Duke of Connaught, that they would not be permitted to wear these hair fringes, or high heels to their boots, nor to tie their dresses back in the present most uncomfortable and indelicate fashion. Victoria deserves the thanks of every intelligent mother in the land. The same paper says: “Last year one lady appeared at a drawing-room with her hair over her eyes. The next day she received a message from the Lord Chamberlain, informing her that until her hair had grown she would not be required to attend any more drawing rooms.”
