Frances Power Cobbe writes at length In \
recent magazine article ON some of the evils Of
modern dressing. She speaks of the thin, pa
per-soled boots, which leave the wearer TO feel
the chill Of the pavement on the damp Of the
grass wherever she may walk, rs having short
ened thousands Of lives in Europe, and even
more in America. Combined with these ~
have now the high heels, which In n short
period convert the foot into shapeless deform-
ity, not much more available for purposes q
healthful exercise than the mere pedal Jumps"
Of the Chinese women-not to mention other
and more distressing evils which the unuatu-
raj position In walking entails upon tho sex.
An experienced shoemaker informs us that
between tight boots and high heels he scarcely
knows lady Of fifty who has what he can call
foot at all-they are shapeless clubs and the
best read physicians tell us that from the same
causes there is scarcely woman in the land
who Is entirely free from bodily weaknesses"
of some sort. And all this is done, anguish en-
dured, and lives shortened, for the sake Of
beauty, or rather for a scnselcss and mistaken
idea of IL.
The practice of wearing deeol'ets dresses, sin
ming equally rs II does against health and de-
cency, seems to be rather less prevalent than
formerly, and may gradually reccde with other
ycstagcs Of barbarism. Less than IDarLA~
Of century ago low-neckea corsages were
universal at ordinary dinners, but now they
are confined to special occasions-balls, court
drawing-rooms, and the stage. But it dies
hard, especially with those who have beautiful
basts and shoulders to reveal and may kill .
great many poor creatures yet and entail on
others the lifelong bad health so naturally re-
sulting from exposure of large surface Of the
skin to sudden chills. Imam atmosphere where
the sterncr sex are none too warm in winter
fianncls and thickly-lncd coats and heavy
boots, fragile, oonsumptve-looking creatures
are seen with bare arms and chests, satin
slippers over lace worked silken hose, In a COS
tune whose 'clinging" fashion forbids tho
luxury of even an ordinary fannel.pctticost
for warmth
