The attire which combines perfect free-
dom of vital organs with grace, modesty
and utility is the ideal dress for womsn to
my thinking. Our present fashion is TN

l. The dress of the coming woman will be
more and more the expression OF the use to
which it is to be put. For the business
woman a gown for utility will be first
considered, and it will differ from the
present business womans dress in sew
eral essential particulars. 1t will be
shorter. palmer, more free from useless
turbelows.
2. The tendency of the fashion is at the
moment decidedly in the direction of grace
and artistic effects, but fashion is subject to
so many changes that it is impossible to
predict what extravagant and outrageous
conceptions may be offered US within the
next few years in its name. But whenever
these changes are offered there will surely
be very large number of women who will
refuse to accept the authority of what is
ugly, and predict that each successive at
tempt to reintroduce what is novel and gro
tesque although dictated by fashi NJ will
meet with more and more opposition until
fashion conforms to good taste.
8. Yes, all dress is now more or less tinged
with the idea of health, freedom aud com
fort. The corset, IL not entirely dispensed
with, will be modified to become a mere
support for the bosom instead of an iustru--
ment for deformity and disproportion.
4. The business wonan's dress must in the
nature of things be different from that
worn by the woman Of leisure Toe skirt
less dress worn by men In active life is O.
departure from the flimsy skirts and drapery
of the studious, the monks, and high magis-
trates, and is recognized as correct for its
own purposes. Why should woman's dress
not admit the same rational differences in
a form adapted to her sexl
5. The ideal dress for women will differ
according to temperament, to profession,
and circumstances. These differences will
be founded upon common sense and the
study of artistic principles Dress must
become more and more the expression of
the individual. do not believe that mans
dress will ever be accepted by woman-it is
not adapted to her needs Gin a single par
ticular; besides. 1t is the very essence of
ugliness. Women must study the possible
ties of beauty in dress, for we need to urge
the gospel of beauty and grace if we are to
hope for the triumph of woman's superior
kingdom. A beautiful woman is a power
for good, aud whatever legitimate means
are within her reach-physical culture,
dress. the cultivation of facial expression,
or hygienic forces, which will keep off the
rayages of time, are to be encouraged. The
long, graceful, clinglng robe is most beauti-
full for occasions of leisure.

1t is too early to know exactly or to see
exactly how women will dress in the future.
But as they come more and more into the
world of work they will cease to pinch
themselves. They will have no time to
brush, even clean, endless yards of muddy
skirts; hence. dresses will be short. Women
will know more about the laws of health,
and will dress SO as not to interfere with
healthful conditions. The much broader
education women are receiving will give
them better things than dressing to think
about
hope much for the future of women in
all directions, when they have an open field
and fair play, and clothes will have their
share of good in that better time.
1. think the dress of the coming woman
will be shorter and lighter than that now
worn.
2. The tendency of fashion seems to me
to be in the direction of simpler, and hence
more graceful costumes.
8. 1t also seems to be in directions favor
able to health. The corset will be dis
pensed with.
). 4. A business dress seems inevitable The
"Bloomer DRESS" slightly modified, is the
best dress for ease of motion, ligntness and
neaJness. l know, for have tried it.
5. My idea of the ideal dress for woman
is dress that will well protect the body but
leave every muscle free. Hence it must be
short and light and loose.

2. | think so.
3. Yes think the tendency of fashion

Juri usness. do not know of any special
'dresi reforms" that seems to be practical

King, formerly secretary of the association
IS now running all orange grove at Banana,
Fla, and wears a dress modelled after those
requirements excepting tho last. She could
give much interesting matter on the sub
ject, but at present her dress reform work
seems to be confined to the wearing of
reformed costume. It seems to me there
should not be any ''gown" to a business
woman's dress
5. The Ideal" would seem to be various
costumes for varying occasions, adapted to
the season, the climate, and to the occupa-
ton and taste of the wearer.

NEW YORK. March 1t would be hard
to overestimate the importance Of the ques-
tions asked balow. On the dress of women
deDends their attractiveneSs, and more
than this. their health and efficiency.
Women everywhere are taking up the
problem OF dress improvements in a spirit
of interested inquiry. In the names of art
and bsauty, in the name of physical de-
Yelopment, in the name of everyday and
business needs, it is being asked on every
hand, How shall we be clothed The
answers quoted represent many varying
shades of opinion. Mrs Celia B. whitehead,
who expressed her belief that there should
be s'no gown" to the attire Of the business
woman, presents the views of, perhaps, the
most radical dress reformer in the country,
while one of the test known dressmakers
in New York declares that corsets are u
benefit and not an injury. Taking so wide
a range the discussion may lead to clearer
view.

At the deathbed Of William b.

the New York Press, after every
thing pertaining to the enOrmo
personal estate was supposed to
be arranged, the dying man sud
denly said: "John, wnat did we
do with the S6,OOO,OOO OF registered
United States 4's?"

reblled the son.
"What would we better do with
them, John ?"

Musical Cows.

That pigs are not the only anil
mails who take a delight in musical
sounds, may be proven by the fol-
loving incident of which I was a
witness on more than one occasion.
Opposite to our house was a large
field In which some twelve or thir.
teen COWS we're put during the
summer months. One day a Ger
man band commenced to play on
the road which divided the house
from the field. The COWS we're
quietly grazing at the other end OF
the field, but no sooner did they
hear the music than they at once
advanced towards it and stood
with their heads over the wall at
tentiyely listening. This might
have passed uDnotlced, bat upon
the musicians going away. the ani'
mails followed them ss we'll as they
could on the other side OF the wall,
aud when they could get no further
stood lowing piteously. So excited
did the COWS become that some Oi
them ran round and round the
field to try and get out, but finding
no outlet returned to the corner
where they had lost sight OF the
band, and 1t was some time before
they seemed satisfied that the
sweet sounds were really gone. II
seems strange coincidence that
both the pigs and COWS were charm
ed by music produced by a German
band.-American Naturalist.

ced some difficulty in getting away
They we're followed for several
miles. A house where they were
thought to have slept for the night
was surrounded, and the intetion
was to shoot them as thep came
ont. The members of the gang
swore tn at they should not leave
Stokes county alive. Fortunately
for Fitzpatrick and his party they
did not remain IN the house one
night, but pressed on after getting
supper and thus probably saved
their lives.
Many outrsges by the moonshi-
ners are reported from North
Carolina. Only week before last a
deputy sheriff 10 Surrey county had
bis horse shot from under him. He
had been a. member OF rsiding
