Mr.. Editor:-I have no children old enough to

I hold that children are, in some sense, common

cause? This community is now called on to raise

Ladies' Dresses.

Ladies' Dresses.
Long trains are now the prevailing style Of dress
for ladies. They vary in length from one foot to
ten feet 1t is well-nigh impossible to step any,
where neara lady, so equipped without walking on
some portion of this extensive array of longdrawn
out-ness.
We can think of but two ways in which men can
move in the neighborhood of ladies' thus equipped
without literally walking over them. One is by
having bridge of carpeting made by the dress
maker across the train, so as to allow unimpeded
crossing and re.crossing. The other plan is, fo1
the gentlemen to carry footmats, and get across on
these, taking them up after getting over These
footmats can be easily carried across the gentle
mans arm, as shawls are usually carried.
