FEMALIsi, UME.
On Wednesday a lecture onat the
subject was deli-
vered by a Mrs. T. C. Foster,
eHanover-square
Rooms, to an audience composed of about an equal
number of both sexes. The lady lecturer
wel-
comed with applause on her entrance, atid:,V e an her
was
lecture by stating that she had no desire to
ix
ruep.
with the question of female costume anything
lating to that which some lecturers on the subject
had styled the rights of women. After alluding to
the despotic nature of fashion, Mrs. Foster noticed
the changes which had been produced by it in female
attire in this country, more particularly since 17M.
She briefly noticed the absurdities of fashion that ex-
isted in the days of Elizibeth—tho gigantic ruff and
lengthy stomacher, and contrasted with them the
comparaqvely elegant and simple female costume
that prevailed in the latter part of the reign of
describing
Charles I.
tion of She then gave a charming descrip-
tionthe female dress in the
.time of Charles 11.,
it as
not
modern costume, which for ease and
elegance had

noticed the alter .
liam and Mar'
the .
of Anne,
.ntroduction of the monstrous
hoop in the reign
17. and illustrated the ampli-
tude it attained inthatbya painting of a lady at-
tired in the fashion ofday. Other illustrations
. were exhibited, displaying in
n all their deformity the
i

towering and artificial head-dress of a later day, and
the short waists, or rather no waists, and coal-scuttle
bonnets in fashion at the beginning of the present
century. She then touched upon the Bloomer costume,
and, with a modification, pronounced in its favour.
Wishing to speak to the eyes of her audience as to
the merits of this costume, she gave a living illustra-
tion of it, and, having retired, re-appeared in a rich
velvet walking-dress in the Bloomer style, with the
skirts considerably longer than they appear in any
representation of that costume which we have yet
seen. A description of the inconveniences attending
the present style of the female dress and a condemna-
tion of the system of tight-lacing concluded the lec-
ture, which on the whole was an amusing one.
