WHIPPING Posi- FOR WIFE BEATERs.
A movement, it is said, will be placed
on foot to petition the Legislature to
enact law making wife-beating q
whipping post ofiense iii the State of
Virginia. This determination has been
brought about by the fact that too
many ungallant specimens of the mas
culine gender have figured in the police
court lately as dispensers of corporal
punishment TO their better halves. Such
3 law, it is said, has had salutary eff
feet in other States, and may prove rs
beneficial in the Old Dominion.

SOME CHiT-CHAT FROM OTHER FIELDS

BENTON, La, September 13. 1873
For years and years l have been
watching the fashion books for n solu-
tion to one of my pet themes, and as
the fashions come and go Offering no
solution | have come to regard my
little theory as out of time and ont
Of place All the dresses shown a.
models are intended for strong,
healthy women, to whom clothes are
not burden, but for frail sister,
who are miserable in stays, steels and
tight waists there are no fashions
created, no special models shown
Jenness Miller shows Us how we eau
dress comfortably, and still conform
to prevailing styles, but eyel her re-
form does not liberate the ailing wo-
men from wearing the same styles
suited to stronger women.
Some one will say common sense
ought 70 determine for every woman
what special patterns to adopt, and il
this was the case the matter would
soon adjust itself But it isn't the
case, and as result we see frail, del
icate women vainly trying to wear
the same clothes stronger women
wear, because there Is no special pro-
vision made for her. She must wear
what every other woman wears re-
gardless of comfort or state of health,
and as result these feeble women
have a perfect horror of being ''dress-
ed up" She has no recognized place
in the fashion books, and she is con-
fronted by that awful power of pop
ular prejudice against the symmetry
of woman's form as God made it.
Our tastes are very arbitrary. Fash
ion and custom make them what they
are. We are quite reconciled to the
wrapper for home wear, but we are
not ready vet to see street dresses
made that way. No lady wants that
fashion, but the feeble women do
want styles that will exempt them
from stays and st5els and tight waists.
In nothing are we so circumscribed
as in the matter of dress; the fat wo-
man wears the same prevailing styles
as the slender woman, and the tall
and the short women are alike attired,
and when the same is intended for
both healthy and the unhealthy, who
shall say that fashion is not tyrant? ?
often think if men were compell-
ed to wear the uncomfortable Gre
ations intended for women, they
could and would suppress some of
the evils that environ the weaker
vessels.
Individually, we respect every wo-
mans right to dress to suit herself,
but it is with those who are not suit
ed in what they are expected to wear
that l wish to condole. We see so
many ladies debarred church privi-
leges aud social intercourse because
they are not physically able to en-
dure the clothes they are forced to
wear. 1t was SO yesterday, is to-day,
AMI suppose must ever be. but as a
class these feeble women have rights
which even fashion ought to respect.
The love of dress is inherent in
every woman's heart, and If some
