years to effect, and meanwhile whole
generation of women would be jeopardiz-
ing their chances of the higher love.
Twenty years do ] say? Perhaps 90.
What, then, is rational dress? should
say that rational dress was that which,
without exposing or revealing too much
of tho female figure, suggested it to the
best advantage. Stays there must be, be-
cause these now participate to n great eX-
tent in tho poetic associations of the petit
coat. The pointed shoe has almost es-
tablshed itself. / am not sure that the
French heel, bad rs it is on overy common
sense ground, is not getting TO be unas-
saiable by dint of its association with
pretty feet and well turned ankles. There
are many features of fashionable dress
which in tho cold light of reason are not
to be defended, but which hold their own
by association. Even the bishop sleeve
will have its chance of catching on" if it
stays long enough.

THE DEPARTM STORES.
Reasons for and Advantages of the Con-
centration of Retail Trade.


centration of Retail Trade.
The present tendency of the concentra-
ton of trade in ''all-embracing" estab-
lishments is to the public advantage, be-
cause it builds up great concerns, whose
extensive business enables them to intro
duce a system of organization which di-
minishes their running expenses relatively
to the volume of their trade, as compared
with that of each of many shops which
together might make up as great an
amount. With their vastly larger capital
they can buy their vastly greater stocks at
lower prices, and hence they can make
profit though they sell cheaper. Not
very long ago Mr.. Cleveland said to
an extensive New York importer
of china and crockery. who was
talking to him on the subject OF the tariff,
that he was resolved to correct the lnjus-
tice by which this dealer was enabled to
buy his goods in the foreign market
cheaper than n Buffalo merchant IN the
same business with whom the president is
acquainted. ~ mean" said the autocrat,
"that crockery shall be imported as
chcaply in Buffalo as in New York"
Thercupon the New York importer was
obliged to explain to him that, even by his
despotic authority, he could not make the
Bohemian manufacturer sell the Buffalo
dealer at prices as low unless Mr.. Cove
lands friend bought equally large quanti-
ties, had equal facilities for their distrlbu-
ton to the American trade, and was Imam
cially of credit as high.
This concentration of trade, moreover,
conduces to the advantage of oil those
who arc employed as clerks and servants
in the business. 1t strengthens the Sc
curity of the establishments, SO that the
risk of the employees not getting their
wages is reduced; their pay is prompt,
and they have less reason for fear that
they will lose their places through the
| bankruptcy of their employers. Ii de-
/ creases liability TO failure. The pay is
surer. Nor does it ''drive out of their re-
| spective lines hundreds and thousands Of
mechanics and tradesmen." Lower
prices create n greater demand by bring
| ing the goods within the means of
larger number OF people, and this
demand cannot be supplied without
| giving employment to mechanics and
| tradesmen in their manufacture.
| There still remains also a wide field
for tho smaller dealers. They can get
near-at-hand trade, though the prices
| they may be obliged 10 charge to keep
| their heads above water be little more
than those of tho PARKWAY establish
ments, which cannot be reached SO CON
veniently. The stimulation of trade is
general, and in the future young men viii
continue to enjoy the chances OF advance
ment they have now. Nearly all the mer
who have built up the vast bazars against
which our friend inveighs started out
many years ago as poor as he is and will
no better chances. He can look forward
with tho confidence that the opportunitie:
for progress still remaining are as much
greater than those of the past as will bC

and means of securing wealth and happi
