taking designs were in part copied from
medieval costumes. But lster-from
1S40 to 1s75-children's clothing went
through what might be called the Early
Focene period. and the fossils thereof
are enough to make one thankful that
fashion, like other forms Of evolution
never exactly repeats itself
Finally Kate Greenaway became the
fashion, and the gowns and suits of her
charming creations We're copied every
where. Children ceased to be little
scarecrows. and became walking flower
gardens and picture galleries. Some OF
the Greenaway designs had to be mod
flied slightly so that the children might
not trip over their flowing draperies,
but in general, like most beautiful
things, they adapted themselves to use
with surprisingly small difficulty.
This bit of the history of dress teaches
a very important lesson. The way TO
make a reform of any kind fashionable
is to make il attractive. There was no
preaching about the Greenaway gowns;
they appealed TO everyone simply be-
cause they were beautiful, and anyone
could see that they were. Incidentally
they were comfortable. appropriate,
and becoming to their wearers.
If any of the people who are inter
ested in dress reform nowadays will
take unto themselves some of the Wis
dom of the fox, and profit by the his
tory of Greenaway gowns, they may at
tain their end. The way in which they
can make their ideas popular If there is
in them any element of popularity, is
this: Let them approach some we'll
known artist with a gift for the pic
turesque. and broach to him the scheme
of drawing pictures of pretty girls at
tired in becoming and graceful gowns
of a sensible pattern, and surrounded
by admiring youths. Let verses or
stories be written by some other clever
person, to serve as peg of personality
on which these drawings maybe hung.
The result will be that if the drawings
can be made popular, the reformed
fashion will be adopted. Thus may be
given TO the dress reformers airy moth
ing a local habitation and a name.
