READY-MADE CLOTHING.
A Question Which Is a: Present Agitat-

A Question Which, Is a: Present Agitat-
ing tho Feminine World.
AS rule woman likes to exercise
her own taste in the matter of dress,
and many a woman shows her CHI ar
acter very plainly as she selects and
makes the garments she wears The
fashioning of these garments help to
mold and strengthen that character:
Now. If every dress she puts on comes
from some one else. is the taste and
thought of some one else in general
combination, what good does she get
from it except the mere good OF hav-
ing a new dress to wear?
Another thing is lamentable in de-
gree: the cheapness Of all ready-made
clothing is allowing our girls to grow
up without the knowledge of tho
needle which they need. don't
think any girl needs the
piles of patchwork squares we
many of MS were made to sew, or the
long seams of cover and over" ON
sheets, or even the many garments
made by hand, that were common
parts of every girls training in our
mothers day, bat every girl does need
some skill with the needle. Every
girl needs to sew on some things, and
to know how to sew on many more.
Each girl needs to know how to plan
and carry out thought and skill IN her
dress which will give her some in-
dividuality. We might as we'll all be
tied up in a nuns gown and vail as to
expect we can all be satisfied with
the dresses sent out by the shops. If
women want to dress alike. as do the
men, let them do 50; but if they don't
wish for that, let them at least have
the chance to show some individuality
in their dress. -Mrs. Ketlsie, ~ Kansas
