REFEBRINe to the dress reform move
pent which is progressing at a rate
which makes its slowness, its hopeless
ness conspicuous, one writer says
Busy women now wear short skirts,
thick soled boots, and easy bodices The

rise out of the Thing life into the
Thought life as some one has put it,

but does not destroy her fondness for
being suitably and hecomingly dressed

according to her health, her purse and
her occupation, and that is all the re
form that is needed That Is very
hopeful view OF the dress reform move.
ment Women have worn what the
subtle and Irresistible Jaws of fashion
have dictated during an the ages Of
civilization. They are more subseryient
to those laws to-day than ever be-

influences with create them and
make her their willing slave will de-
crease, but ON the contrary civilization

In The matter Of editors the Cleveland
way, rs Developed, is better than the
Harrison way. Mr. Cleveland has

But he has carefully avoided the sem

would have been more seryiceable 20 the
Republican party TO have kept such
editors in the country. Referring to
these Harrisonized editors the New
