how she manages to move, and makes
a spectacle of herself to draw tears

Lordy! but it's queer!
And just here's where the growler
makes his mistake, for this is not prog

high time the women's clubs-with their
boasted reforms, should bring about a
revolution in the line of common sense.
or course, the costume first described
by the aforesaid pessimist is golf suit,
and highly commendable it is. But a
woman should no more think of wearing
a trailing, shaped hounced, faring skirt
outside the house or carriage than a
man should appear at his business
or on Gay street in an eve

ish this abominable fashion. know a
leading woman here who for two years
has been getting her courage up to the
point of adopting short skirts, fashion

the shackles, but when sound judgment
and popular approval are with you, take
Davy Crockett's motto and go ahead. 1t
is not very unusual now to see stray
girl sensibly gowned as she fits, rather
shame-facedly, from the golf links. But
We want more than this. We want all
ages represented-not at golf unless it
please you, but in an anti-microbe, anti
filth league. Dressmakers are not going
to take the initiative in bringing about
this reform, for the more flowing and
flaring and shaped-flounced, the more
goods required.

cency, wearing an ample sufficiency Of

And be sure the men-whom you all de-
light to honor-are with you. After all,
that's what counts.
