Something 10 Wear.
The st. Louis Globe is brave enough
to print the following.

to print the following:
We have studied the woman of the
future in many. of her aspects, and have
realized to ourselves with tolerable de-
finiteness the details under which these
aspects will present themselves;but one
important question: question which,
SO to speak, covers the whole subject,
the question of what dress the woman
OF the future will wear-remains as yet
chaotic, or, at least, nebulous. We
know that nothing short of the most
perfect equality will mark the happy
era; that in addition to the blessed
privilege of standing up on the horse
car. woman will take her place on the
platform, and be avenged for many
wrongs by yelling through an inch of
front doorway, to unoffending man in
the remote corner, 'Say, put yer fare
in that box, will yer" 1t will be hers
to mount the swiftly gliding dray, and
fieck the persuasive black-snake around
the ears of the recalcitrant mule. She
will be the terrible Judge, the gentle
manly and accomplished conductor, the
urbane and popular policewoman. Her
place will be neither above man nor
below him INIT Inv his side and "a his

lutte. This NAV be called not only a
desideratuD,. but a nc plus ultra, and
even a sine gla non and an pl,tribus
unun,. 1t is evident at the first glance
that the present garb of woman will not
permit of that free development at
which she aims, and going back to last
month or to last wear. we fail to see
ANYTHING more promising. Who would
respect a policeman with a Daanier ?
What Judge could calmly weigh the evil
dence of the witnesses when he had the
evidence of his senses that his chignon
was coming off? Would any one en-
gage a awood-chopperess with a Vatican
wrapper on her: and if he would not,
what are we going to do about it?

Gated intepnment which has been
adopted by the other sex will be ever
f1aught with memories of the oppres-
sion of bygone days. What course re-
mains to choose The more we study
it the more appallipg becomes the con-
viction of our insufficiency. The his
tory of costume throws no light on it:
II only tells ms what woman has found

TO-DAY she has pronounced friehtful
and rejected with scorn the day after.
The only thing which has pleased her
in apy costume has been the conviction
that Il was the newest thing out. and
that her dearest friend had not vet got

has been the constant change and her
