 PREPARE TO DRooP.
 It is prophesied that complete revolu tion is about to take place in the style of Woman's dress. Nay, it is even said that the transformation has already begun and those who note the signs of the times may mark it's progress.
 Fashion is willy deity who does not frighten her devotees into revolt by springing her innovations upon them too suddenly; she is cautious, insidious, cir cumventive, therefore successful. The change in styles which she is now en- gineering is remarkable and suggestive one. As the dress, so the wearer. Gowns, jackets and hats have been aggressively smart of late years. So has Woman. She has carried off the worlds honors, she has shown herself to be mans superior, except in those few trivial matters wherein she is only his equal; now by fashions decrees she is to rest content with her victories and gradually, almost unconsciously, to drift back into state of sweet submis- sion.
 Thus saith one of the latter-day proph- cts: "The dress idea of the past decade has been dominated by trig and self-confdent pertness that is now softened into an ap- clinging droop there is promise. It means reserve and pensiveness, gentle timidity and tenderness, sentiment and sacrifice, even docility."
 The long skirt began it. That little pointed train was the entering wedge Then came graceful but foppy mantles, low-crowne6 hats and gauge ribbons. The rest will follow. Square shoulders will go out and sloping shoulders will come in. Sleeves will no longer rise in billowy mounds above the shoulder, but will be set in far below it, compelling the arm to slow and languor- ous movement. Hair will be parted in the middle and brought smoothly over the | ears into the low coil at the back of the | neck. Possibly ringlets will be worn in | front of the ears. In emotional moments this coil will slip from it's moorings, as in the old-fashioned novels. Shawis will be worn folded triangularly. They will De always sliding off to be picked up across the back, and trailing weeds and grasses around the brim They, too, will be forever falling off Thin slippers will be the only foot-gear. Hence, much confinement to "the sweet privacy of home," no more mountain climbing, no more long rambles in searcf off ithe Asplenium Rhizopyhyllum, nc more athletics.
 If this be true day of Woman's vigorou
 self-reliance, of resolute action and vic
 tory, is passing, and the morning O
 sweetly appealing helplessness is about tt
 dawn. Down trodden man may agail
 assert his rights-the age of chivalry ma. l return.
