Simplicity OF Costume In Eden--Redfern

New YORK, Oct 9.-In those days,
when everything was less complicated.
even dress, there was no difference in
fashion and cut between the wearing
apparel of man aud woman. The
mother of all wore. according 20 the
illustrated goody-goody books of our
childhood, exactly the same shaped
appendage as the father of all His
had no extra pockets, hers no silk lin
ing or braiding. They were made,
saith tradition, of the same sort of
leaves Then. gradually, woman shot
ahead. / don't mean for minute to
say that man remained at the leafy
arcadian stage, but he progressed
more slowly. So that while he is only
creature of cloth and leather and an
infnity OF pockets, she is dainty pot
pourrie OF killings and lace. bias folds,
feather trimmings, chiffons and a
whole heap of other gewgaws. And

back them up, and under the name of
dress reform" suggest that women
shall relegate to the dim recesses Of
her rubbish cupboard those dear time
honored bones OF contention. The cor
sets and the high heels and the dainty
garters-they offer to substitute for
these treasures tights and Greek cos

cry of Venus De Milo" a little al

quirements of an etfete civilization.
The Venus De Milo wears her scant

that she is well dressed woman. but

glove-fitting ease, for which this firm
is noted. And Of dark brown velvet

orange colored face cloth outlined with
cord and decorated with three buttons

What Keeps Women Young.

A woman is happy just in proportion
rs she is content. writes Edward w.
Box. in tie Ladies' Home Journal. The
sun has way of changing the spots
upon which 1t shines. Especially is
this true OF our land. where one is up
to-day and down tomorrow. and Uice
cersa. The wisest woman Is she who
trusts in a tomorrow. but never looks
for il. TO sit down and wish that this
might be. that that would be different.
does woman no good. II does her
harm in that it makes her dissatisfied
with herself, unpleasant to her friends,
and makes her old before her time.
Happiness is not always increased in
proportion to enlarged success. This
may sound like an old saw. and think
it is. but there is world Of wisdom in
many an old proverb jnst the same.
Conteutment is wonderful thing to
cultivate. There would be fewer pre-
maturc-old women in the world If it
was given moro. of trial and it be-
came more universal quality in wo-
manhood.

creased nine times as fast in size dur
