Music and measure
Set to pleasure,

of the pure delights afforded to ire
proachable people by our dancing GUS
toms, enough remains in the illustra-
tions offered by the liberties of the
ballroom to startle any disinterested
observer. Any fashion which gives to
roue the right to clasp pure woman
in his arms, and hold her for the length
of an intoxicating piece of music, is
below moral defense. I firmly believe
that the time will come when our
present license in this respect will be re-
garded as We now regard the practices
attending the worship of Aphrodite.
It might be said that the nautch dance
is modesty beside our waltz. Bluntly,
to one who knows the facts behind our
gayest social scenes, how far do we
seem to have advanced beyond the
Congo idea of a social entertainment?
The groves Of Ishtar were more frank
about it. The drawing-rooms of polite
America veil and evade the eternal,
unutterable, identical thing.
One cannot pass such topic this
without finging one more lance of
scorn at the subject of wolnen's dress.
1t is fact, gloss it anyhow as we may,
that decent women have never
dressed so inGecently in our country
and our century as they do in fash
ionable life to-day.
Between the ballet girl who dances
for bread, and the society girl who
dresses as she does for a title or a for
tune, there is moral gap, to be sure;
but, for one, would take my chances
with the ballet if had to face the So
cial standards Of another life with either
record behind me. Does the lady re-
turning from the theater for her late
cognac or champagne, think that she
can sit with her body half exposed in
the uncurtained window of the cafe,
before which men and women of the
street stand gazing, and count herself
the moral superior Of that other woman
looking on? Tell Us, my lady, ifyou
can. when you exhibit yourself for
promiscuous surf bathing, before Il
thousand spectators, in a bathing cost
tune which stops-where it does, how
much more modest are you than the
circus dancer, or the mermaid in the
ten cent variety show?
Let us have done with playing about
the fire, and call low thing low, and
out with it. Face the truth. An i'm
modest dress does not cover a modest
woman. If fyour costume is coarse and
vulgar, you can blame no voice or pen
which calls you coarse and vulgar too.
If the dress is disgraceful, the wcarer is
disgraced. The woman who dresses
indecently-never mind who, never
mind where, never mind why's
indecent. The woman who dresses
without shame is shameless.

The Decollete in Modern Life.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in the Forum
1t is not easy, but, it is quite posi-
BILE, to treat coarse subject in deli
cate way. It is with deep sense of
both the difficulty and the response
bility of the undertaking, that ven
ture to consider some serious aspects
of the question with which this paper
deals.
A good lady of Puritan training
(but, let it he added, of thorough edu-
cation and generous culture) took a
trip abroad in middle life, under cir
cumstances which required her to cha
peron some young friends to the French
opera. She was the object of infinite
6aadiage when it was discovered that
during the performance of the ballet
she always shut her eyes. A proml-
nent literary man, himself used to the
world and the ways thereof, urged
earnestly upon the author the puhlica-
tions Of this paper, saying: 'In my
humble opinion, the ideal of propriety
held by what is called society, has alb
solutely no relation to the moral sense.
To take point When I see the ease,
nay, the eagerness with which our
young girls attend and seem to prefer
those plays where the ballet is enough
to make any gentleman uncomfortable,
I am confused. What does it mean ,"
What does it mean, indeed? Is the
sense of modesty declining among our
women ? Or, to put the question more
exactly, is it falling behind the onward
motion of other fine forms of progress ?
Is it the laggard in the great race of the
higher evolution? The writer is no
crusader against the theater, though
not frequenter of it, but has person.
ally often shared the editors vince at
the attitude of the present race OF
young ladies toward the.indelicacies Of
the stage. There is sang tToid, an
ease in the presence Of atrocious scenes,
which is amazing. The dropped eye
lid, the mounting blush, the protest OF
maiden modesty agaist sights and sug-
gestion from which any pure girl ought
to revolt-when do we see these signs
of outraged womanly nature?
Our stage exhibits moral monstrosity
to the edge of abomination.
Probably the influence ofthe spectac-
ular stage in coarsening the delicate in
stincts is more than shared by some OF
the social customs of our home. Take,
for instance, the promiscuous dance,
favored by what we call society. One
need not be a Quaker or Puritan, a
hermit or a devotee, to turn with dis
gust and distrust from offenses against
a refined taste accepted by dancing
people as evidences of it. When all is
said that may be-and much can be
said-of the beauty, OF the innocence,
Of the graceof

workingmen in that province it is SAID mai
very few are outside the labor orranlna-
tons, which 10 Spain means agreat deal
more than in England, their character be-
ing not only political, but also from a
Spanish point of view revolutionary.
Notwithstanding the examples OF
England, Germany and France. where the
heads of the state are giving a serious at
tention to the problem connected with la
Dor. the Spanish ministry aud the mon
archlcal party generally in that country
show the utmost indifference to the needs
and demands of the laboring classes. and
treat with poorly concealed contempt the
suggestions that Spain should follow in
the wake of the more progressive nations
of Europe.
The condition of the Spanish labor is
worse than in any other country in West
ern Europe. the only ameliorat1on being
such as is secured by strong organization
in certain localities. The effect is that
the w~orkingmen are learning to look to
revolution as their probable relief, though
there is no information Of any existing
conspiracy against the government.

socialist members of the reichstag, who are
also expected to be won over to the en-
peror by the bill amending the present fac
tory and workshops act, which goes very
far IN amelioratiug the condition Of the
laboring people.
Although the bill permits women to
work eleven hours q day, this is still quite
q reform in Germany, where women are
often employed for thirteen and fifteen
hours a day. Regulations regarding the
hour Of commencement and ending of work
must be hung up in the shops, also the
time md name of the calculation of the
payment OF wages, the amount of notice
to be given before dismissal, when such
period is not already liked by Law, and a

lations as to payment and the pur-
poses to which the money will be devoted.

forty-eight hours. This includes all

They TalD of Insurrection and Eventual
Annexation to the United states.
A gentleman who has arrived at Ottawa
from Newfoundland in connection with
business with the dominion gov
ernmont, says that the people
of that colony are in q thor
oughly demoralized condition, almost on
the verge of rebellion against the British
government for the manner in which they
have been treated by the imperial.arthori-
ties in surrenderipg TO France one Of
the most valuable sections of the
islands, while France continues to dis
criminate against them. FIR this dis.
lance, he says, it is impossible to picture
the excitement that prevails throughout
the colony. No action of the British or
colonial government has ever done more to
create q desire on the part of the colony
for annexation with the United States than
the apathy now shown by the British gov
eminent.
Should we not succeed IN securing our
rights" he said, there will be On insur-
%rection, and the United States will be ap-
pealed to by nine-tenths of the people of
Newfoundland to admit US into the
union. All idea of entering the dominion
has been abandoned, as not only has Sir
John Macdonald and his government
expressed themselves unwilling to as
sumo the responsibility such a step would
involve in the present unsettled state of
affairs, but the people see that their posi-
ton would not be in the least improved
by such an a~'liance, the only remedy be-
ing to enter thu American Republic, Which
would insure thu protection of the United
States against French aggression"
