Again; You are equally mistaken if
you think pantaloons the ultimatum of
dress-reform. Women would not be as
healthy in them as in short. loose skirts;
aud I doubt if men are. II we could
have a perfect dress, both sexes would
wear drapery more or less flowing, and
no one would be stuffed into his clothes
like a frog or a crab. The body wants
more light and air than it gets in the
present costume Of either men or women.
and the one is little, if any, better than
the other. / suggest for schoolgirls the
German peasant dress, in which there is
no bifurcated garment; and, il one be
added, it should be Of very light material
