 received letter from Miss Clevelan,
 m response to note of inquiry on th
 subject, m winch she says:
 "I am very glad you have spoken t,
 me about this matter. Newspaper state
 ments with regard to my immodes
 dressing and its influence m encourag
 Ing scarcity of waist and sleeves II
 other women's dresses have been sent (,
 me several times, with accompanyinI
 comment, but always anonymously sign
 ed. should hardly feel true respec
 Tor a person whom I beheved to be do
 ing what the newspaper slIp represent
 mesto be doing, namely, using the brie
 prominence of my position to encOurag, habits ID dress which are subversiye o
 whatsoever thingssare pure, lovely, hon est and of good report. Such. l believe the immodest dress of a few society women to be, and against suct immodesty I have made that silent protest which 1t is every wo. mans right and duty to make
 by having my own dress waist Tn a style which, SO far as modesty iR concerned l should feel quite willing to have any woman to whom this style of dress IS becoming and comfortable follow. I ap. prove of an evening dress which shows the neck and arms, but I do not approve of an evening dress which shows the bust. Between neck and bust there is a liIe always to be drawn, and 1t Is as clear to the most frivolous society wo- man as to the anatOmIst, but this line need never to be passed, and the fashion able wOman's low-necked evening dress need never be immodest. If it Is SO, it Is because she prefers 1t to be SO. The AmerIcan woman can wear the waist of htr evening dress upon the lobes of her eCrs If she likes. There is no queen to C Cmmand her to appear in low cor sage. She can SO contrive her dress that by the exposure of her person all true, all social ethics and ;esthetics as well are revolted, Between the two there IS an appropriate, beautiful, and m 1dest mean, which all can, if they W II, follow.
