troduced into almost every city of the Union.
and is admired by all who regard comfort and
health Of much value. The old fashioned.
long, heel-dragging dress will be con-idsred

as the new style comes into more general use.

long communication from physician in fa-
vor OF the new costume, and in editorial rete-
renee to it says: eve should rejoice to see r.
change in ladies' dresses, which should eive

be more uncomfortable, ungraceful, uncleanly,
than the tight-waisted trailing dresses of the
present fashion. And how much of actual suf.
feflng, and Of injury to health, this style Of
dress has inflicted on the mothers and daueh-
tiers of our land {"
