EVERY month or so the world is
convulsed by rumor that some
startling change is to be made in
woman's dress. 1t is very significant
that these reports vary widely, some
indicating a desire for reform in the
direction of comfort and practicable
ity, others presaging a relapse into
the barbarism of bygone ages. Man.
kind has hardly recovered from the
shock experienced at the announce
ment that crinoline was likely again
to become fashionable, yet here We
have the report of the national coun-
Gil of women on the subject Of dress
reform In this document business
females are advised to adopt any one
of several grotesque and Outlandish
costumes, the main feature OF all be-
ing that they are "dual at the bot
tom" Between the two extremes it
looks as though feminine dress would
remain about where it is at present.
Whatever real reform has been
effected in this matter has been in
the direction Of relinquishing the
tight corset. With that abomiuation
entirely done away with woman's
dress would be healthful and CON-
Portable, and it is quite attractive
enough now to make her the greatest
influence for good OF evil on the
earth.
