The DRESS REFORM MLEcruRE-The lecture OF
Ellen Beard barman, at the Young Mems Chris
tan Association Rooms, last evening, on Dress
Reform-iu physiological and moral bearings"
ligent audience of ladies and gentlemen The
fair lecturer illustrates in her own person the
advantages of what Is generally known as the
"Bioomer Style, and her ability to urge Its
claims upon the attention OF her sisters who follow
the behests OF fashion, may be judged from the
fact that for quite an hour and a half she was
listened to with pleasure and interest by an audi
ence containing many skeptics in the matters she
urged so eloquently
Her address was satire on the follies of So
called fashionable life, wits its attendant evils
and pathos, and illustrated with a number of
anecdotes In point. She never lost sight Of her
subject, however, which was the evil entailed
upon mothers and their offspring by their present
style Of dress which spois the beauty Of the FORM
and Of cOcrse brings debility and general loss OF
health.
