Reasonable Dress.

1t has been said that a womans
dress not only typifies her subject con-
dition, but cbaractcrizes her individu-
alism as well. Allowing this to be
true and accepting it from the philo--
sophical standpoint, we are forced to
believe that individualism must Oft
times blush at her. own caprices-at her
own tickle, frivolous and imperfect
portrayals, as she drags herself from
one extreme to another, offering at
each evolution some absurd and con-
Trajectory prctense. IT'S an age of pro
gression; tbs an age when intelligence
should proceed and prevail over vanity,
when women should possess the out
ward appearance of at least reasonable
beings. But clad in the manner which
extremists Of fashion claim we should
be clad, with sleeves like the wings of
angels and trains like the tail of a
kite, With hats bedeclSed with the
stuffed bodies and wings of slaugh.
tered song birds, and No. feet jammed
into No. needle-toed shoes, is it a
wonder that individnalism would feel
little cramped, and at times blush at
her own caprices?-Womankind.

thought and care that most women
put upon their personal appearance.
Now, know very well that the average
woman pays great deal of attention
to such things, but the trouble is that
what attention she does pay is of the
wrong sort; it's directed toward things
that are of no vital consequence, il
not absolutely wrong. She's like the
man who had great deal of taste
only it was all bad. The average
woman that one sees upon the streets,
in the shops and aboard the street cars

concerned. Daintiness, however, does
not imply costly frocks, loves
