WOMEN AND POCKETS.
Some Pertinent Comments by Eliza
beth Cady stanton, Famous
Sufragist Agitator.

The daily press gave an account
few days since of young woman
walking in the street with her blind
mother, her pocketbook in hand, who
was suddenly robbed by man, who
was arrested and is now paying the
penalty of his crime in Jail. If the
woman had had pocket and her
purse in it she might still be enjoying
her money and the man his liberty.
Going to see friend off to Europe
not long ago | saw young woman
hurrying to the vessel, her train in
one hand, her umbrella and handker-
chief in the other and her purse held
IN her teeth!
Ever and anon we hear of these val
uables snatched from their possessors,
for which men and boys are arrested
and punished. In view of this result
the pocket is more than a question of
fashion, it becomes one of morals; it
is wonderful what dangers women
will endure and infict on others at
the behests of fashion; if they choose
TO suffer the accidents that befall
themselves, that is one thing, but to
endanger the safety of others in
crowded places is quite another A

get into a car, incumbered with train.

Perhaps the authorities of the
church might do something to rouse
the religious sensibilities of the wom-
en- in this direction. The apostles and
prophetsin in Bible tunes did not think it
beneath their dignity to give women
some directions as to their duties and
an appeal in our day might not be IN
vain. The discipline of the church re-
ouires all women to cover their heads
when they enter the cathedrals: Paul
advised them not to BRAID their hair
nor wear gaudy apparel, but to mod
estly cover their faces with wells.
Many of the books in the New Testa-
ment have special directions in regard
to the dress of women. And Isaiah
was quite strenuous as to most of the
ornaments dear to their hearts. In
the third chapter, sixteenth verse, he
says: Because the daughters of Zion
sre naughty and walk mincing as they

go, making a tinkling with their feet.
Therefore the Lord will smite the
crown of the head of the daughters
Of Zion.
"In that day the Lord will take
away the tinkling ornaments about
their feet, and their cauls, and their
round tires like the moon
THE chains, and the bracelets, and
the mufflers.
THE head bands, and the tablets,
and the earrings.
THE rings, and the nose Jewels.
and the mantles. and the wimples, and
the crisping pins.
THE glasses, and the hoods, and the
wells"
If it was thought worth while to
put all these directions in the Bible
why should it not be as well to have
some provisions in regard to this mat
ter in the canon and civil laws, and
men in high places give some direc-
tlons to our daughters in this line?
A student in one of our city colleges
not long since, going to the black
board, left her purse, containing five
collars, on her desk; when she re-
turned it was gone. The president
called his pupils together and stated
the case. reproaching them for the
deed, saying: "But if the owner will
cut off the part of her dress that
trails e2 the floor and make gener-
Gus pocket in which to keep her purse
she will save her weak companions
from further temptation and herself
from greater losses. Elizabeth Cady
