and the waste of health which women ac-
cept on account Of fashion, Is appalling.

way under the foot, on which they walk

be ornamental, but which have no other use,
burden and deform even our young girls.

more becoming styles. We need artists who
can devise simple and beautiful dresses,
which shall secure the wearer the free and
| uutrammelled use of the whole body.
