Some Interesting Points About Hygi.
enic Undergarments.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. 3.-Scores Of let-
tiers have been received at this Office asking
for information concerning Mrs. Annie
/ Jenness Miller. "Is the magazine bearing
her name still published. and has sac really
failed in business" etc, &C, etc.
have not seen Mrs. Miller, nor have |
rad single line from her. From the daily
papers l read several accounts of her fail
ure, and now observe that she has changed
the style of her magazine. The present one
is called the Jenness Miller Illustrated
! quarterly, and is not 50 preteatlous perl
odlcal in appearance as the one formerly
published, called Dress. It is, however, TO
my way OF thinking. exactly as useful and
quite as full of points as the other. presume
that Mrs. Miller met with serious reverses
and was perhaps obliged to fail, as thou
sands and thousands of men have done
before her, aud will continue to do. l don't
see why there should he such a hus and
cry about a woman's failing in business.
| She has just as good right to fail as a
man. Mrs. Miller Is plucky, progressive,
wide~awako and cultured woman, aud has
| done more 10 bring alb ut a tasteful dress
| reform tina any other woman in this coun-
| try. Those who have beel taught and
| Helped by her should now rally to her sup
! port, and by every means in their power
show tneir appreciation of her efforts in
| their behalf
To Mrs. Miller we are indebted Tor the
! gown-form, one of the most practically
| HYGIENE substitutes for the old-fashioned
waist and skirt that has ever been thought
! of. She also gave us the divided skirt, a
! style of petlc0at which has been blessing
| to Thousands of women. There are few
| who do not like this skirt, but for those who
| must have frills and FUCKERS it is a splendid
compromise. For my own use the equestri-
enne tights are preferable, though where
| thin dresses are worn, and skirt IS neces-
sery, there is nothing so desirable as q di-
! vlded skirt.
Bands around the waist are oil wrong.
| 1t is impossible to arrange them with a
view to comfort and unimpeded circulation
at all times. These bands are fastened in
the morning ana seem quite loose and COM
| Portable. After luncheon they are snug
and after dinner they make great welts in
the flesh. Such an aggravation seems too
| sll hit to notice, and so the binding process
| continues until bed time.
Not long ago I received letter from
lady signing herself Georgia Invalid"
The writer complained that she had adopted
| the reform dress, but it did not seem to give
her any special relief or comfort. On in-
quirv [ found that she had not taken the
pains to adjust the different pieces. In
other words she had not fastened her divi-
ded skirt to her waist so that the weight
would rest where it was intended on the
shoulders, and so had girting band and a
sagging petticoat besides tee pressure of the
band OF her drawers.
The only truly hygienic undergarments
are the combination suits. These should be
OF soft, warm wool and sufficiently large to
allow of possible shrinking. Many ladies
protest against long sleeved suits. 1t seems
to me TINT in this matter much depends upon
the climate and the health Of the pers IN.
In most cases the sleeves that cover the
upper part Of the arm are Suffice t protec-
ton. Any thing that rasps the nerves, as
long flannel sleeves arc opt to do, are cer-
tainly inimical to health.

editor of q New York newspaper wrote me
the other day as follows:
