Women aud ssen's Clothes,

Ouida believes that, instead Of going
into society, women would be better
employed in applying their minds to
dressing themselves their children
and their men" She says in The Co.'S
mopolitan:
Il do not think men would long re.
sist feminine effort on the part of WON
en- to introduce some better male cos
tune than that which at present makes
the streets and the drawing rooms alike
hideous-that is, if the effort were gen.
eral, sustained and persuasive. The
trouser is the eliminating point in
modern male attire of ugliness, indecen.
cy, unsuitability and antihygienic stu.
pidity. The chimney pot is the more
ludicrous, but think the trouser is the
more odious portion of masculine cloth
ing. 1t would make q guy of Apollo'f
SELF"
1t would be interesting to know what
most men would say to the proposition
that their wives design the clothes they
should wear. Imagine the predicament
of an aesthetic wife with taste 70,
mauve spike tails and a refractory hus.
band with a horror Of attracting notice.
The number Of complications is too hor.
rifying to contemplate. Ouida is quite
right about the trouser, but mind built
to dwell upon fiounces and toques-
would it be entirely safe to trust such q
mind with the grim problem of the
trouser. the baggy vest. the stern silk
hat?
1t is doubtful. Best leave mans gar.
ments to the tailors-and to the bicycle,
which is already doing great work in
discriminating the hated trouser. Phil.
