! HIT 'EM AGAN.-The following
spirited article in favor Of the new
costume, IS from the pen Of Mrs.
Stanton, and daughter of Daniel Cadv,
ol the Supreme court Of this State.
Our CosTuME.-Let the silk worm
stay in its cocoon until its own wants
compel it to throw it aside. Let
every woman stay in her long petit
coats. until she feels the necessity of
a change; then no opposition or tri-
vial objections will detain her; then
she will not doubt or hesitate as to
what she will DO, she will not. heed
the remarks of rude men and boys.
and unmanncrly y women. Though I
do not wish TO convince any woman
against her will of the reasonableness
OF this change. yet would answer
some of the objections ! have hear.- :
Some say the Turkish costume is
not graceful. Grant it. For Parlor
dolls. who loll on crimson velvet
couchcs, and study attitudes before
tall mlrrors--tor those who have no
part to perform in the great drama of
life, for whose heads, hearts and hands
there is no work to Go. the drapery
is all well. Let them hang it on, thick
and heavy as they please, though to
the highest artistic taste, the human
form is most beautiful, most graceful,
wholly undraped and unadorned.-
Are not the graces themselves thus
presented? have seen gallery of
beautiful paintings and statuary, in
The old world, but nowhere is the
ideal form to be found in huge
whalebone bodice and bedragged
skirt. If the graceful is what YOU
aim at, study the old painters and
sculptors, and not French Books OF
Fashion. But for as. common place;
every day working characters. who
wash, iron, brew, carry water, and
pack babies up stairs and down, bring
potatoes, apples and pans of milk
from the cellar, run our own errands;
through mud Or snow; shovel paths
and work in the garden, why. the
drapery is quite too much-one might
as well work with ball and chain
Is being born woman so criminal
an offence, that we must be doomed to
this everlasting bandagc! But say
some, 1T is not the iashlon' Neither
is it the fashion to be honest and vir.
tuous, to lead simple, pure and holy
lives. The true and earnest soil 10
always odd.
Again, some women OF d5hbtful
character are proposing TO weaf The
short dress Well, have they not
also worn a long one? But men and
boys laugh at u.s. This is a strong
reason in its favor. 1t is good to be
laughed at. The more ridicule you
encounter the better. 1t strengthens
and deve!opes the character TO stand
alone.
