DRESS REFORM IN TIE GRANGE.

The following essay was read before Lib
erty Grange, Grant county, KY, by Mrs. l..
j. Vallandingham, and was published in the
Farmers Home Journal: .
| Worthy Master, Brothers and sisters:
We, as a band of brothers and sisters.
have united to try to improve the condition
of the farmers and their families. There are
a great many changes to make that will
take time, money, economy and wisdom,
industry, punctuality and patience. Truth
~fulness, love and friendship should always
90 hand in hand, and we must have conf
dence in each other. AS for time, that we
cannot control; out we must improve our
time. We cannot tell how long we will be
permitted to remain with our friends here.
Now, sisters, let us begin by adopting Il
cheap mode and style of dresses in Il
grange. Just see what it costs to get up a
fashionable suit. Now, let lis have grange
suits, and cheap ones, that we may prove to
outsiders that we are trying to put down
foolish pride and vanity and cultivate more
solid qualities, and thus teach the rising gen.
Grafton to keep clear of debt and the rings
and spectators that have brought the farm
ers near ruin and bondage. Ga = 44t-
Sisters, we can do something. and it is our
duty to help our husbands and fathers and
brothers. We must try to Tighten their bur-
dens and make life more pleasant around us;
and by adopting this cheap mode of dress
we give all a chance to dress alike, thus do
ing away with all feelings of inequality, and
so try to be as near of one mind as possible
in regard to this great and noble cause
and we should always look to the Author
and Giver of all good things.
