TROUSERS OR SKIRTS.
A Mere Man, Tremblingiy, Ventures
His Opinion ON the Subject.

A Mere Man, Trem blingly, Ventures
His Opinion ON the Subject.
All dress reformers hold that IL is
skirts, and skirts alone, which are re-
sponsible for any undesirable qualities
that woman has. We should be inclined
to say that woman has no undesirable
qualities, but since dress reformers are
always women we cannot dispute them.
Skirts, say these reformers, ruin a wom-
ans health and make her narrow, pcev-
ish, jealous, fsult-fnding and prone to
attach undue Importance to trifies. Since
the women themselves say this there may
be something in it. When we come to
think of 1t, man has none of these failings.
1t must be the skirts. Take one moment
and consider the noble creature Man in all
his grandeur. Originally, we suppose,
there was no difference In the quality of
mind possessed by man and woman. But
skirts have dragged down woman and
made her, as she says, narrow and
bigoted. On the other hand, observe
man with trousers; how noble has he be-
comel What broadness OF mindl What
depth OF reasoning poweri What sublim-
ity of aimi In fact, what monument to
trousersi
We sincerely hope that we have not said
too much. We did not intend to say any
thing OF this kind, and should not have
done so II the dress reformers (who are
women) had not started It. II we have
said moro than we should have said, we
hereby give notice that we are willing to
retract.-N. Y. Tribune.
