RsADY,MADE BE- l,1 \ CLOTHING FOR LADIES
few years ago only three or
four principal houses paid any at
tention to the making mp OF clio,
thing for women and children, and
with these it was an expensive
specially, which made no proyi-
sion and afforded no accommoda-
ltien, for the ewant oflthe great mid
de class, who are the chief sup
porters of att industries, The gar
nssts offered, consisted Of baby
,eloaks .andartieles Of baby's under, n y
clothing, made up ina the most
costly style, dressing Wrappers or
robes de chambre, being the only
addition, in the shape of dresses,
to the stock. Wedding troussean,
or summer outfits, were sometimes
ordered, in which dresses were in
cluded; but only under peculiar
circumstances, or by very wealthy
people. the cost being enormously
in advance of the price for which
the article can be made at home.
With, the Improvements in sew
ing machines, the common, almost
universal use, and the consequent
cheapness of labor, it has gradual
| ly dawned upon the minds Of wo-
men that no reason, in the world
existed. Why they should not be
able to, buy clothing ready-made
as cheaply: and as Satisfactorily as
that Of men. The objection that
q more exact st is required does
not hold with regard to the mod
ern walking suits, or gored: house
dresses. What fies one fits ail,,''

is generally obtained at home, ,rs.i
Suits of white Victoria lawn,
handsomely -rahed, are $3.50.
Pretty suits of dotted lawn, with

price of making at any city dress
makers. ......y -, ..,., ,-4,. :, >.
Gored morning wrappers OF
American print, trimmed with 9
narrow bordering, stitched on, are
$3.50 and $4, and the same style
in c.ambric and percale, $6. 9@sa'
Trained white: skirts Of excel
lent quality. well made, andhand-
someIy rufied, are$5:5o, and gored
white skirts with a wide, hem and
seven narrow tucks, to wear; with
walking dresses, $3.50 and Gsl:75:
These are we'll cut, shaped, and

so that it is a comfort to wear
them, and if they have: not the
6neness and neatness of exception

THE ECONOMICAL. POINT OF VIEW.
+ Probably the prices given, low
AS they seem 2toc9 persons aceus'
toned to the.zformerl extrasagan'
rates and to the city cost of:taboi
| will,appears high. to, those whose
limited means compel them TO sde
! even their own sewing on the
most restricted. scale; but there
are many Others, who are not rich
who would find positive economy
I in buying ready-made garments al
these prices instead Of paying
thigh priced seamistresses and dress
makers and enduring the worry
and torment Of finding them, di
! II::etting them and finishing ormak
tins over after them. Moreover
| in buying garments ready-made
one is more aptsto limit oneselEts
the exact quantity or number o
articles required, and in this way
save aecumulations and appea1
more uniformlyin accordance witt
the prevailing fashion.
