TIE COVENANT

An association of ladies of the city OF New
York has been formed under the above title,
headed by Mrs. General Dix, the object Of
which is to promote economy, and the rigid
abstinence from luxury nnd unnecessary
e1ptnsivenees Of living, during the war. The
nation hss now no surplus means. Whatcver
a few individuals may have, over their wants,
is more than needed by others who are suffer-
Ing for want Of it. Nor is It charity that
calls, but right, justice, duty. Whom give
to the soldier the charity is to the giver, not
to tho receiver, SO much greater Is the weight
Of our indebtedness to the soldlers of the
Union than we canrepay. It only remsins to
set the ball In motion-to pnt the matter in =
shape in which the women Of the country
can see that their sacrifices will benefit tho
soldier, nnd they will make Whatever sAczl
Zee IL needed 4 well known Important
element In female life Is fashion. It is to \
woman what habit IL to men. It rules. 1t
is useless to try to abolish It. The only way
to make use Of It is to lead It. We have nexray
million boys in blue in the csmps. Their
"blus'' is cheap, Jet We admire 1t more than
docskin OF broaacloath, because 1t means
patriotism. Why not have million girls In
blue at horne. Cannot.tho ladies cout1ive 4
cheap, plain, uniform, natural dress, which,
by meaning economy, shall mean also "patri
| otism," and which they can adopt ' for thrss
| yexrs or during the var"
Would It not become the prettiest far bet
ter than brocade or tulle? Would It no
