"Do you expect to win in your dress re-
form movement" was asked Of Mrs. Annie
Jenness-Miller, 10 e. 18th St., New York,
editor Of Dress.

awhy do you object to the present

aIt is ungraceful, deforming and injuri-
GUS"
DO ladies generally support the reformg'
Eyes, very generally: Ny correspond

mail of any woman's in the United States,
and from not only every State in the Union
but from almost every country Of Europe"
is the magazine, Dress, succeeding ~
Every handsomely, indeed. Drsss, has
gratifed with reports from all over the
world of the acceptance by ladies in the
very highest rank, CT the reform which
Drsss adyocates.n
Mrs. Miller is a comedy woman in appear
ance, and is very enthusiastic in her dress
says: sShe herself is young and attractive,
with figure SO harmoniously developed as
to suggest strength, power and beauty"
The reform which she is urging with so
much eloquence and grace seems to be the
coming one. Mrs. Jenness-Miller has the
advantage Of high social position, being Of
the same family Of tho late Wendell Phil
lips, and the poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes.
.'1t is in the fashionable world, of course,
where all the styles are determined. and
where { e chan7s must begin," she says.
"How do you endure SO much work and
keep SO well!"
II dress myself according to my own
ideas, and furthermore, give myself the
best of care and treatment. Six years ago,
was nearly exhausted from my work OF
lecturing, writing, etc"
"Indeed, you do not look like it nowr'

fectly well woman and intend to remain So
You see understand the laws Of life too
well to be, or remain i'll, but strange as it
may seem for one to say who is opposed to
medicines on general principles, II / find
myself tired or feeling i'll fly to the one
single remedy which do endorse, and that
is Warmers safe cure, which gives new en-
deed what sometimes can my stand by
have many opportunities to recommend it,
and embrace them gladly, because know
that it is thoroughly reliable, and for women
especially effective. Indeed, often find my
self recommending it to my friends as
warmly as do my magazine, or indeed my
improved garments, and this would not do
did not personally know Of its virtues"
Mrs. Miller insists that all women can and
must be beautiful, and will be so il they
follow her style Of dress and self treatment
"Will you not state, briefly, in just what
your reform consistsf'
sOh, with pleasurel propose jersey
fitting garment to be worn next to the body,
making of woman vision Of lovelinessl
III. 'sOvcr this / put cotton or linen gar
ment, of one piece, without bands or bind
ing covering the entire body also.
III ssIn place of the petticoats, / propose
one complete body covering garment called
sleglettes.'
". I'VE abandon the corset entirely as
totally unfit for use, in its common form,
and we substitute therefor q supple sup
porting waist, and then we make the OUT
side gown as beautiful as artistic skill and
common sense can design"
Mrs. Miller's words of counsel, which
every woman should heed, will undoubted-
" give to the women of America some new
IDEAS upon subject 80 very near to each Of
them.
