SHORT DRESSES.

The great bug-bear in the way Of adopting
the short dress and pantaletts in The minds of So
Der minded, modest woman is their dislike of no.
tority. To be the subject of newspaper COM
ment and street remark, as one must be who app
pears in public with short dress on, in the press
ent crisis, is sufficient to deter most women from
the movement. In this dilemma, what is best to
do? 10 attempt to storm the fortress of public
opinion is not woman'y or becoming and savors
OF tanatcistn. On the other hand, to adhere to
our cumbersome skirts, now that better way is
opening to us, for want of courage, waiting for
one another Is not wise. think there is midi
die part between these two extremes, which can
recommend to my sisters DESTROYS of REFORM
In the first place | would recommend the maxi
ing of dress and pantaletts for the fancy of the
thing, without promising to wear it at all Take
dress that you have done wearing, and cut it
ofa little below the knee, taking the surplus for
pautalettts. Make pair of trowsersj rather
full, reaching down to the ankle, perfectly tight
AS they are made for little girls Make the
panalettes plain, (not Turkish) of moderate size.
and button on to the drawers, some distance a.
bove the knee. If you make yoke to your
dress, and wear belt of the same, it corresponds
much better with the general contour of the thing
than bodice waist.
Well, having made your dress, (slyly of course)
it is to be taken for granted that you will have
a fancy for trying 1t OH. Then having carefully
locked your door, you can present yourself be-
fore the glass, just by way of playing with the
new idea, from time to time, and getting your
own eyes accustomed to it, before any one is the
wiser. After a while you will get courage
enough to 60 down stairs, and appear to the
family. There will be great laugh to be sure,
and some flutter on both sides but one will
soon get used to that; and evenif you get caught
by neghor or two, it all passes off with ahcarty
laugh Twill venture to say, tn at when one gets
to this stage of experience in the new costume,
its superiority in lightness, neatness, and coti-
venience to the old, will be so sensibly felt, that
what was adopted merely for amusement, will
come to be worn from choice during the business
hours of the day.
The innovation can proceed thus far quietly
and silently, with no offensive ostentatious BRAY
ing of public opinions for we certainly have a
right to wear in our bedrooms, and in the pri-
vacy of the domestic circles what we please,
without interference from without BY thus
gradually accustoming our own families and kim
dred to the innovation, the multitude of small
instructions will gradually swell into general
insurrecton-and the whole reform will DO bro't
about ouintlv apJ u,ithout

FAMINE IN INDIA.-A British writer, recently
remarking Oh the horrors which sometimes at
tend Christian rule in Pagan lands sketches the
following graphic but fearful picture:
"Turn your eyes backward upon the scenes
of the past year. Go with me into the north
west province of the Bengal presidency, and
will show you the beachcd skeletons of five
hundred thousand human beings who persisted
of hunger in the space of few short months
Yes, died of hunger, in what has been Justly
called the granary of the world. The air, for
miles, was poisoned with the efIluva emitted
from the purifying bedies of the dead The
rivers were choked with the corpses thrown into
their channels. Mothers cast their little ones
beneath the rolling waves, because they would
not see then! draw their last gasp, and feel them
stffen in their arms. Jackals and vultures ap-
proach and fasten upon the bodies OF men before
life is extinct. Madness disease and despair
stalked abroad, and no human power present to
arrest their progress.
" And this occurred in British India, in tho
reign of Victoria the First. Nor was this event
extraordinary or unforeseen. Far from it-lS35
witnessed a famine in the northern provinccs;-
1922 saw one in the Dcccan They have con-
tinued to increase in frequency and extent under
our sway for more tnan half a century. Under
the administration Of Lord Give, a famine in the
Bengal provinces swept offthree millions and,
at that time, the British SPECTATORS had their
granaries filed to repeton with corn! Horrid
monopoly of the nccessares of life. Three mil
lions died, while there was food enough and to
spare, locked up in the storchouses of the rich
To add to the horror with which we are now
called to regard the last dreadful carnage-thas
of the last year-we are made acquainted, by the
returns of the custom house, with the fact that
as much grain was exported from the lower part
of Bengal, as would have fed the half million
who persisted, for a whole year,
