LETTER IN n. Y. Sun FROM
SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA..

Whether by comparison OF by dry
statistics, or by prrusing the more
attractive descriptions OF recent Wis.,
itors and writer's throughout tho
South, it can but he secn that the
rapid growth OF the Southern States
is almost phenomenal in its charac
ter. All over The South, not only at
he most conspicuous points, where
progress is to be generally looked for,
but in sections of less notmirty, an
advance in prosperity and import
ance is being made. Whon it ia re-.
membered that besides suffering the
losses incident TO the war, very much
of the country is in it's primitive and
undeveloped state, il is evident that
the South has made, and is making
ull the progress that could be expect.

their innate pluck and energy that

home production arc the means
whereby commercial prosperity is to
be obtained. Nations grow rich, it
is said, by means OF newly created
wealth; While Tie individual gets rich

such is the case, the South today is

By Miss Mabel Jenness.

l. l believe that for some time there will
be no radical cha 1ge in the general appear
ance of woman's DIRE s. A large mum Der of
the refined, intelligent women of the coun-
try are giving serious thought to the SUBJ ct
of bealthful dress-they are beginning to
recognize the necessity for some change
many are forced to that rec ignition by
aching backs and heads.
2. l believe that the weight of clothing is
being reduced gradually, and that there is
growing tendency, even in fashionable
models, toward graceful and artistic out
lines, aud consequently in direction favor
able to health and freedom of body, for
there can be no grace without freedom, and
freedom is concomitant to health.
3. l fully believe that ultimately the
corset will be dispensed with, that many
will cease to wear a support, while others
Will wear waist which will be modihca-
ton of the unyielding case of bones and
steelS worn by many at the present daY
Some will be led TO discard the corset
through an artistic appreciation of free
dom, while others will be forced to it
through ill-health.
4. do not see any prospect that in the
near future there will be a differentiation
of a business dress" for women, but am
sure that as women of leisure adopt more
comfortable and artistic gowns business
women will be benefited, inasmuch as they
will adapt their dress to the prevailing
ideas have not thought out a special
model for business dress,n but think
that it should be made of a light, durable
material to which the dust does not adhere
easIly-mohair, for instance-and that it
should be made to fit loosely and to clear
the ground by several inches
8. think that an ideal outfit for woman
would consist of bifurcated undergarments
made of an elastic weave to cling to the
body, and yet give with every movement
there being enough of these garments to
furnish the necessary warmth-and light
flowing drapery for artistic effect. | do
not believe in discarding drapery, for it
accentuates grace and elegance of move
ment l believe that whose who concede to
woman the prerogative of draperies do it
through an instructive feeling that there is
a correspondence between the nature of n
gracious woman and the graceful, flowing
outlines of an artistic drapsry. l think
that draperies should be of light, cliugiuz
materials. l would do away with stiff,
heavy materials and retain only the soft
silks. cashmeres, crepe and other like fabrics
if | had my way-and the length should be
regulated by the occasion for which it is
made.

By a Leading Dressmaker.

l. believe that the dress of the coming
woman will be natural evolution from
that now worn. The artistic features lately
introduced will be retained in principle and
developed, though in details they may be
and must be varied. Woman na5ure Graves
change. Dress in the future will differ. in
my opinion from dress as seen at present
chiefly in becoming progressively more
characteristic of the Individual Women
who make study Of dress prize personal
and distinctive styles.
2. The tendency of fashion is markedly
in the direction of more graceful assumes.
An Improvement artistically is seen in the
preference of fine material simply made
over tawdry elaboration. We are coming
to set that which is always beautiful above
the cheap novelty. The love for the artis-
tic and picturesque is manifest in the
revival of classic forms and old French
and Venetian features and also in the
adoption of ideas from the east, especially
from japan.
5. do not think that the corset will be
dispensed with, nor do | regard it when
made properly and worn properly as inju-
rious to the health of women. The modiste
who knows her business understands that
the figure needs to be supported, not
squeezed. So far as she can influence ladies
she advises them that dress can only be
fitted properly over a corset which is not
TOO loose ABOUT the Dust, too tight about the
waist or in wrinkles about the hips. The
best French stays as now made must be "a
benefit to woman rather, than an injury.
To the majority of women and to any we'll
dressed woman they are absolutely neces-
sary. Women who do not wear corsets are
apt to be round shouldered.
4. The trim tailor gown as now modified
seems to me to answer every requirement
for street wear of the business woman or
the woman who merely goes shopping.
). No gown can be ideal for more than
one woman. Different psople must be diff
ferently arrayed. For bud the simple
Empire gown is almost perfection. For a
tall, graceful young woman clinging Greek
draperies are beautiful. For a stately
malron l like the Paul Veronese style.
Half the beauty of dress now and in the
future lies in the artistic management of
draperies. The other half depends on the
evolution of fabrics and on the adaptation
of color to the complexion aud style of the
woman it is TO adorn.
When the coming woman appears to
which one of her ancestresses will she give

type, for the use OF horse for the weeks
performances
II was often difficult to get one that would
perform his work satisfactorily, and there
fore always made reservation in case he
was not suitable to return the animal and
pay only for the time used. In the case
alluded to the owner wanted me to hire the
horse for the week for SIS, but said would
pay him 81 for each performance, which
would make SIG for the week of eight e-hi-
billions, should l conclude to keep him after
trial. This was agreed to. The first and
second nights the horse did splendidly, but
at the Wednesday MATINEE he refused to
but to procure another animal, which l did.
On Saturday evening, after having
dressed as Mrs. Puffy and while sitting
quietly in my dressing room before the play
commenced, the owner Of the above alluded
to fiery and untamed steed appeared tefore
me and presented bill for SIS, saying:
Madam, your agent called upon me and
made bargain TO pay this amount for the
hcrse, and l have come to collect the
money!
''You must be mistaken" replied. 1--WE
are not accustomed to do business in that
way. We only pay for the times the horse
is used"
that for the horse, and | want it. He said
nothing about the number of perform
ances. He promised to pay me SIS for the
week"
Then l, with all the dignity of Mrs. Puffy,
remarked:
why. my dear sir, aren't you mistakens
Did not my agent say to you that you
would only be paid for the number of times
the horse was usedp
He answered: Madam, 1 assure you, on
the honor of gentleman, that nothing Of
the kind was ever said"
That rather staggered me. as happened
to be my own representatives at the time the
bargain was made, SO, dropping my CHAR
acter and assuming my natural voice, COM
log down to business, said:
YOU'RE an everlasting liar. l will come
around to your stable aud prove it.n He
grabbed his hat, and with mingled fright
and establishment vanished through the
door before l could say anything further.
Rushing to the box office he exclaimed:
Give me what you like ON this bill, but
for Gods sake keep that woman away from
my stable"

l. From present indications the dress of
the coming woman will be modelled on hy-
gienic principles. Women are wearying of
carrying about a superfiuous weight of
clothes. The coming woman will wear
combination undergarments and clothing
so made as to produce no compression, to
leave no weight on the hips and as little
weight as possible anywhere. The woman
OF the future will be a healthier and more
vigorous individual than the woman of to-
day. She Will not wear q seal or other
skin overgarment A prominent specialist
is even now imperatively commanding his
women patients to leave off their sealsKins,
regarding them as a fruitful cause of
throat difficulties.
2. The tendency of fashion seems to be in
the direction of more artistic costumes, so
far as toilets for the evening and for dress
occasions are concerned, but street attire is
not at ali satisfactory. A gown to be worn
out of doors should have no flying ends
Sashes and ribbons and directoire flaps are
in place only in the drawing-rooul. On the
promenade they are uugraceful, inconven-
lent, blown about by the wind. The aver
age woman in average street dress must wet
her feet when it rains, and is made abso-
lutely cripple by the necessity of holding
In one hand her bagS-what woman ever
stirs without bag9-and in the other her
skirts. she can hardly manage to carry her
umbrella, and her draperles are covered
with filth even in getting out of e carriage.
3. The corset must 60. Actresses who
depend on grace for large share of their
attractions have discarded corsets, from
Bernhardt down.
4. A business dress to be useful must be
of a length not to catch and drag. The
Jenness Miller business dress is too long.
1t must combine simplicity, comfort and
convenience. 1t must admit the drawing
of full breath, and must not confine the
arms.
s. The ideal dress must be designed by
each woman in accordance with her own
needs Its details must depend on the &C.
Casion on which it is to be worn. A street
suit is one thing, house toilet quite an
other. For the house a woman may IN
dulge her artistic instincts as to color and
style. IL she does not disobey health
principles the more she idealizes the better,
and it is pity that men have not equal
liberty.

that they cannot fail TO leave the impress
of cir convictions upon at least two sue
cee1ing generations.
s. At present the attention Of thinking
women is given toward healJhfulness in
dress as much as beauty, and from present
indications We may at least hope for more
healthful style of dre,sing than we have
now, which, however, is a great improve
ment upon that OF a half a century ago.
/ don't think corsets will ever be entirely
dispensed with, and while think them in
furious to growing girls, | consider them
almost, if not entirely. Indispensable to
women, but used only as a support and not
tightly laced As to indicating any re-
forms, can only say that l gave up the
business Of trying to reform anything years
ago.
4. There'never yet has been ademand for
anything that did not call forth a supply as
soon as the demand was felt. A business
dress is a demand. and a supply will be
forthcoming. 1t will have to be something
as useful and convenient as a mans business
suit. and yet have the distinctive grace of a
woman's attire, and it NUT be light, loose
and warm for cold weather, as well as cool
for warm weather. l think we can safely
leave that question to the dreSsmakers who
think and whose souls rise above buttons.
can only suggest plain, neat skirt, with
liItio u YeiF, yus1 reaching Ihe dukleS, WIN
good big pocket each side, sort of basque
approaching a cutaway coat, with pretty
pockets all around, but never stuffed with
bundles till out Of all shape. An ulster or
walking Jacket can be worn with this, and
a pretty nat with plenty of ostrich tips to
overcome the rather hard outlines of the
clothes
.. The ideal dress for woman is, in my
taste, based upon the princess style, with
train AID long, flowing lines, for house, and
plain tailor gowns for street.
