Russell, with a view to eleVating the
subject above the mere matter. of

the consideration of dress as a means
to an end. The body is not ones

But nothing can touch or have to do

There will be no perfect dressing

complish it in three ways-with re-
gard to comfort, beauty and econ
Omy. For comfort our brothers side
of humanity eXcels us, and possibly
in the matter of economy, but they
have never yet succeeded in making
their clothes beautiful. The ethics
of dress of the future is that in
which the minimum of thought shall
be displayed, and the maximum of
comfort, of beauty, Of personality
and of economy.

black dress with a rather short skirt

form or in the pulpit can go to ex-
tremes in any way without attracting
unfavorable comment and bringing
discredit upon the cause. I could not

ed skirt or the short dress by wearing
it in the pulpit. / think the time may
come when these simple costumes may
become universal. and shall be glad

women shall be emancipated from
dress. But the reform must come, if
it does come, by the home women,
| the women of fashion and society, who
will introduce it, so that it will be
| taken up by every one. When the new
| dress becomes common it will not be
noticeable, because one becomes ac-
f, customed to change when every one
| adopts it.

A DAY WITH THErL
They Care Nothing for the Fads of
- Fashion Both Are Studious
and Musical.

=. NEW YORK, March 21.-The two
richest unmarried girls in the whole
universe today are Alta and Edith
Rockefeller, daughters of John D.
Rockefeller head of the Standard
Oil concern.
The much -talked-about fortunes
of the Gould and Vanderbilt girls
pale into insignificanee when the
Rockefeller wealth is mentioned 1t
is an overestimate when it is said
that Helen and Anna Gould have
$4,000, 600 each. Eleven millions
would be much nearer the mark:
Since the death of Jay Gould there
has been a considerable shrinkage
in the valuation of the securities in
which the family wealth is largely
invested. His wealth when he died
was $72,000,00O, and a larger share

kindergarten union, the Republican
association, the Relief society and
many other organizations.
Some of the ablest members of
the council are prominent dress re-
formers. They have been occupied
for many years in spreading their
ideas on the subject. AS they come
from all parts of the country and
are very able and convincing dissem-
inators of ideas, it follows that dress
reform must be implanted deep in
the minds of many citizens of all
ages and sexes in this broad land.
If there is one thing that still dis
tinguiSheS man from woman it is
dress. Through many centuries
mans dress has steadily developed
in the direction of usefulness and
ugliness. Trousers probably mark
the limit of usefulness and ugliness.
But it should be remarked that,
though they are the most useful
garment for the business man, they
are the most troublesome for the
idle, owing to the fact that they
show the influence of knees. The
American man, who is the most
useful man in a business way, wears
the ugliest and the most useful
clothes.
AIMS AT UTILITY AND BEAUTY.
While mans dress has progressed
in the aforesaid direction, woman's
attire has remained persistently Or
namental. 1t has varied with a fire.
quency utterly unknown to man, but
the object in view has always been
decorative.
Many shallow-m minded male be-
lieves, no doubt, that the underlying
motive of dress reform is mere envy
of his trousers. Woman may envy
them in so far as they are useful,
but at~the same time she shudders
at their ugliness. She has intelIi-
gence and artistic taste enough to
enable her to design something at
once as serviceable and less offensive
to the eye. She has the advantage

CORSETS MUST GO.

But the skirt is not the worst feat
ure of womans dress to reformer.
Corsets and the system by which a
great weight is suspended from the
waist are considered the worst evil.
Skirts are bad when they. are long
enough to gather up dirt, but many
reformers include them, properly
curtailed, in their schemes of ra-
tional dress. e
Dress reform is not accomplished
in a day. The change is now taking
place. Thoughtful women through
out the land are wearing reformed
garments. Women bicyclists who
wear boomers are doing a noble
work in preparing public sentiment
for the change.
The dress reforners of the Ma
tional council, whose views are given
at length here, are both practical and
moderate in their ideas. They 3do
not wish to provide amusement for
the frivolous. Some would rather
conceal their most cherished de-
vices.
Certain general principles, govern
ing the construction of a rational
costume, may be deduced from their
remarks. 1t should allow every part
of the body it's natural action and
be short enough to relieve the wear
er's hands from the necessity OF
keeping the skirts out of the way
of her own and other peoples feet
Its weight should as far as possible
be borne by the shoulders. Corsets
are by these conditions obviously
excluded.
Among the most active dress re-
formers in the council are Rev. Ida
C. Hultin, Mrs. Clara Colby, Miss
Leevens, Mrs. Annie Jenness Miller,
Mrs. Francis E. Russell, Mrs. Frank
Stuart Parker and Mrs. Octavia
w. Bates.
