Taste in Dress.
From Dress.1

From Dress.
Taste in Dress it has often been said, is an in
born quality, and so rare wtha that it is far bet
ter to trust the ordinary women to her modesto
than 10 her own intuitions but this we doubt. In
the preference for certain colors for instance,
which every individual possesses there is an ex-
preston of the very ego which no artistic, be he
Pingat himself, has right to disregard; yet how
often do we see shades worn so apparently I'M
suited to the possessor that even the casual OBJ
server is impressed with the want of harmonious
adaptation. The famous beauties OF history and
literature were women who studied the secrets OF
dress and made it the expression of their own in
dviduality Some writer has said that it was the
rare art in dress of Mary, Queen of Scots rather
than perfection of feature and coloring which gave
to her such reputation for beauty.
1t is not beneath the dignity of any woman to
learn the secret of making herself beautiful. In
deed, there is moral influence in beauty not to
be scorned by any student of human nature. 10
clothe young, radiant girl in solemn grays and
blacks will influence not only her spirits and health,
but affect the growth of character. Colors reflect
certain ideas, and it may be that the Orientals
were right when they thought that to each person
belonged certain hues capable of influencing his
very acts In ordinary dress one may not always
be able is true, to give full scope to this prefer
ence for color; woman, for instance, who re-
ioices in gorgeous yellows and respondent reds
should not be encouraged to array herself for the
public promenade in these tints, but in softened
and subdued shades she may, nay, Should apparel
herself.
A woman should not wear a color simply be-
cause, as so many do, it is fashionable. Nor
should she don certain styles for the sole reason
that they are la mode. Ones individual likes
should guide her selection of tints, and study of
face and form in the selection of sly les. Our best
actresses all realize this 1t is because Bernhardt
is so true an artist that she is great actress
Her gowns, her hats, her gloves are parts of her
self.
The portraits before which we stand longest in
the art-galeres are always those of women who
studied form and color. One writer suggests that
our modern bellies pattern after these old paint
ngs but is the nineteenth century so devoid OF

The Business Woman's Journal says that Ru-
dolph Herring, James B. Francis and other civil
engineers of high standing all agree that much of
the office work in civil engineering can be effec-
lively done by women. A few women have studied
engineering ii the schools of Cooper Institute, and
judging from his experience with these students,
Professor Plympton, superintendent of night
schools there, says he sees no reason why women
cannot become bridge builders He also says that
the women students of that institution are espe-
cialy good as designers. A thorough training for
women in this department of science may be OBJ
tanned at Cornell University and the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology in Boston.

women with taste and individuality that its daugh
tiers must model their gowns after the age Of Sap
pho, or the reign of Louis XIV, or the times of
Elizabeth and Maria Antoinette? Study the dress
of these periods, let it be suggestive, but never
copy to model self after.
1t is worth every woman's while to familiarize
herself with the various styles of dress worn adown
the centuries The relation of dress to civilization
is not an unimportant consideration, and the va
rous beliefs held at different periods are full of
thought for the strongest minded Thus, for illus
traton, India, Chaldea and Egypt adopted the
loose aowngrobe because it was believed that any
garment which cramped or bound the body was
fatal to spiritual progress. cramped waist
MEANS they taught, an almost useless solar plexus,
and useless solar plexus means spiritual incapac-
ity. In Greece all dress was subservient to the
demands of the physical, and to modern times
and nations were left the garments which should
ignore both the physical and the spiritual.
Women of intelligence, however, are giving new
thought to bodily claims, and proving that to this
age is possible what no other has ever achieved.
Woman was never so free as she is today, and
dress is not an unimportant factor in the retention
of this freedom Let her refuse slavery to any
control, and while she recognizes prevailing fash
ons make them her servants not arbiters Strik-
ing oddities in dress are as unbelievable as slang in
refined speech, but personal characteristics have
right to manifest themselves in colors adapted to
compilations, styles suitable to forms wearing
them, and qualities harmonious with environments.
Certain women should wear on all possible occa-
sons Greek gowns-women of statuesque build
and classical mould; it is travesty on nature for
such to array themselves in tabernacle wraps and
Redfern suits; but there are others who would
look like Titania in Boadceas armor If they dared
so depart from prevailing precepts. No woman
should ask her dressmaker what she ought to wear.
From her she may seek ideas, but they should be
modified by self to individual needs Ii one does
not know what her individual requirements are, let
her hunt the art-galeries study there the nearest
approach to personal idiosyncrasies the portraits
reveal, and evolve suggestions.
There should be more variety in the ranks OF So
cetys well dressed women than there is in the ar
ray of battalion of soldiers. A woman's dresses
are revelations of her character. Scott at the idea
we who will, 1t is still true.

The First National Thanksgiving.

The First National Thanksgiving.
Rev. j. W. welman D. D., in The oongregationaistJ
When President Lincoln, during the war, issued
his first proclamation for a day of public thanks
giving and prayer, the papers, both secular and
religious, fell into discussion of the question:
whether that proclamation were not the first of the
kind ever issued by a President of the United
States. Some of them answered the question very
positively in the affirmative. Others denied that
it was the first.
Having in my possession what would seem to be
positive evidence upon the subject, viz, printed
proclamation a hundred years old, issued by re-
quest of "both houses of Congress-" appointing
"a day of public thanksgiving and prayer" and
signed &C Washington" it has occurred to me
that copy of this proclamation might be of pub
lie interest; not only as deciding the above ques-
ton, but also from the fact that we have now
reached the one hundredth anniversary of that first
National Thanksgiving Day.
The original is printed upon thick, white paper,
fifteen by twelve and one-fourth inches, and is in
quite good state of preservation. 1t came down
to me as an heirloom from my great-grandfather,
William Ripley, ESQ.,, of Cornish, N. Fl.
1t will be remembered by some that during the
late war-strange as it may seem now-another
question, of infinitely more moment than the one
just mentioned, vas discussed, namely, whether
this people is a nation. George Washington, in
this his proclamation, issued in the first year of
his first administration, called the people of the
United States "a Nation" beginning the word
with capital N. He spoke of "the people of
this country"-not of the several colonial govern
ments-but of "the people of this country pre-
vious TO their becoming Nation" Clearly the
implication is that he regarded "the people of this
country" when organized into this Republic of the
United States, as having become nation. He also
spoke of sour National Government" and of
s'our National and other Transgressions.'
