Miss Jeanette Glider, the editor of The
Critic, leads, as 1t were, a dual life At home
and in society she is entirely feminine, and
just what any other clever, sweet tempered
woman would be. She is passionately fond
Of children, and is devoted to the pretty in
fants of her brother. But In her Office her
whole manner changes. She is a thorough
woman Of business, and during Office hours
works very hard. She suits her attire to her
work, aud as the feminine dress cramps the
neck, throat and arms, she has adopted a
costume almost entirely masculine. On the
street in winter she wears a long. dark ulster,
with a white handkerchief folded under the
edges. In her office she wears dark skirts,
killed plainly to the waist, with no overdress;
the waist is half fitted sack coat, with the
cut at the throat the same as that of a man,
and with the same pockets. Under it is a
close fitting waistcoat, in which are watch
and chain; a plain standing collar and
cravat are entirely masculine in tone. She
even wears wide cuffs with heavy link
buttons and seal ring. Her brother,
Richard Watson Glider, is the editor of The
Century. Chicago Herald.
