Q lsfif Q5 5 Pageant of Fashions Given by students of School of Home Economics October 19, 1921. This very unique style show covering a. period of 400 years displayed costumes of hoops, skirts, bustles, panniers, or pantalettes as the period demanded. Every radical change of women's dress from the styles of the early pilgrim to the mode of 1921, including the demure costume of Civil War days and the long slinky slit skirt of 1914 with its accompanying debutante slouch was featured. These rare old costumes were made of materials that might well be the envy of the modiste of to-day. Real lace, feathers, flowers, imported fans and parasols with carved handles. Paisley shawls and silk shawls of Chinese designs were very pleasing accessories, and gave added interest. Every fashion and detail of fashion is influenced by the social and political history of its country. The Puritan of 1620, piously garbed pilgrims, were the first to appear in the style show.
