MEMS GARB FOR WOMEN.
DIR. Mary walker Insists That Pres
ent Feminine styles Arc I'm
hen1thful and immoral.

DR.. Mary Walker for well-nigh as
years has preached dress reform for
women. Her ideas, as much as her pc
culiar adoption of male attire, have
made of her a national character. She
is now past 60 years of age, but is
more than ever committed to her
ideas.
In a recent article published by the
Chicago American she advocates the
adoption by women of male attire for
the following reasons:
Did you ever watch Flora MacFlim-
sy stepping on or off a car? Could
there be anything more grotesque?
AS the car approaches she grabs fran
tically a bunch of dry goods which has
trailed for blocks behind her in the
mud. Swishing them about her until
she has bound up her knees as if in q
wise, she essays to step into the car.
But the yards of lingerie and dress
hamper her. 1t requires the greatest
effort to mount the step. 1t is often
times accompanied with the sacrifice
of her expensive costume.
The other day as / left a Broadway
car behind a Flora, / inadvertently
stepped upon her ladyship's train. The
rip of the sheeny silk brought terror
even to me. She glared at me fero-
ciously.
81 will pardon you" I said, "for taxi
ing up so much room; it seems hardly
necessary that you should have a dry
goods roll trailing behind you"
Bind your waists in steel splints and
what happens? Congestion of the
stomach and intestines. Congestion
begets Inflammation and the latter ex-
element of the part inflamed.
In my common sense attire I can
travel faster than any other
My form of dress has to overcome a
lighter atmospheric pressure, less spe-
cific gravity.
l can swing in and out of a car in
less time than it takes Flora MacFlim-
sy to gather her skirts daintily.
There should be no sex in dress. A
woman should not be forever pro-
claiming as from a sign board: 81 I'm

NEW TYPE OF A U

Miss Nesbit Is Pronounced n
Rnrn Avis by Artists.

Philadclphians are raving over a
new type of American beauty exem,
plified in the person of Miss Evel-r
Florence Nesbit, of that city. She is
but Is years old and two years ago
went to Philadelphia from Pittsburgh
with her widowed mother. Her ia.
ther was the late Winfield Scott Mes.
bit, one of the foremost lawyers oil
Pittsburgh. Her mother, Evelyn
Florence Mckenzie, comes of a dis.
tinguished southern family, and she
was a celebrated belle in her youth,
1t was not long after her appearance
in Philadelphia that the beauty OF
Miss Nebit was remarked by many
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1901-06-14

of the leading artists and sculptors.
Already her face has been put on
anvas by such painters as Carl Blen-
ner, Carroll Beckwith, Levy and Irv.
ing Wiles Church.
1t is Ryland W. Phillips, the artist
of having first discovered this new
beauty. Last October he arranged
to have her come to his studio and
pose for several pictures, which were
later placed on exhibition at the
Photographed society and created
wide discussion. In speaking of Miss
Nesbit, Mr.. Phillips said:
"Miss Nesbit has n mobile face, yet
she can change her personality in
looks, gesture and effect quicker than
anyone else l have eve seen. She
can change her whole expression in
stantly from sorrow to eladness,
every feature adding to the total
great beauty. She has a splendidly
developed head and a face showing
unusual character. About her fore
head there are lines of exceptional
beauty denoting great intellectual
power"
Besides her beauty, Miss Nesbit is
endowed with n gift of dramatic tai
ent and emotional capacity sufficient
to warrant her in hoping to attain
success on the stage, for which she
is now preparing herself.

a woman!" Why is it necessary for
of sex difference? l think it i'm
moral.
To-day we call love q passion. True
love is n quality of the mind, not of
the body. Until men love with the
mind woman will not have her right
place in the world. Passion is brutal;
love is divine!
Does the modern form of evening
dress-undress | call it-appeal TO the
passions or the soul, of men? Do the
yards of dainty laces, the variegated
hosiery, the thousand and one what
lots of the modern maiden's gown APP
peal to the purer or baser idea?
There would be fewer crimes
against women if the suggestive in
woman's wardrobe were eliminated.
Modern forms of dress accentuate
rather than subdue these evil sug-
g%estions. What is most daring?" is
the question with the modiste, not
"What is purest?"
A woman's charms of person and
mind should be her store of wealth.
AT present her physical charms are
paraded before the world hat all may
see. She does not SO parade her beau
ties of mind.
Sometimes her physical charms are
counterfeit; they are used as a snare.
She came counterfeit her mental
qualities.
In trousers, waistcoat and frock coat
woman would find protection that she
much needs. She would be freer of
motion and limb, would have better
health, n cleaner mental condition and
be mans superior in the things she
should have most of--of purity of body
and mind.
Soner or later my ideas will bear
full fruit. The wheels of progress
and intellectually move slowly. do
not expect to live long enough to see
my ideas of dress the vogue. 1 shall
have to die; then the seed that ! have
sown will ripen and grow and bud and
blooa-and 1? Well, perchance / may

how TO BE
Take an Air Bath Every Morning and
Every Night for the Benefit of
Muscles and Lungs.

Two baths, say the newest health
authorities, should be taken every
morning.
For no less important than the tub
bath for the body is the air bath for
the lungs.
Perhaps you have never taken an
air bath and mistakenly fancy that
it may be necessary to urn yourself
inside out to accomplish it.
On the contrary, the directions are
extremely simple.
You need no apparatus and it takes
but n moments time and very little
effort.
Every night the lungs become filled
up with impure air and more or less
poisonous gases. A person may go
all day without Kidding his lungs Of
these impurities. Therefore it is as
important to battle the lungs every
day as the body.
Few people know how to breathe
correctly. The lungs are not filled by
merely expanding the upper portions
of the chest and raising the shout
ders. The entire front of the chest
should be forced out as one inhales.
There are n number of exercises for
expanding the chest which you can
practice in your room as well as in a
gymnasium. A doorway will serve
as well as the most complicated GYM
nasium apparatus. A marrow door
way is preferred. Stand directly I'M
der the frame and place the hands
fat on the decreasing, the tips of
the fingers coming at the height of
the shoulders. Walk through the
door without removing the hands I'M
til you are arms length away. This
draws back the shoulders and brings
the important chest muscles into
play. Try this for Is minutes every
night and morning. 1t will help to
wake you up when you rise and help
you to get to sleep quickly when you
go to bed.
Another plan is to expand the chest
the same way before an open win
dow. Stand about q foot back from
the window, placing the hands on the
window frame on either side at the
height of the shoulders. Without
moving the feet. let the body swing
forward as far as possible and return
to n perpendicular position. Prnc-
tice this about 90 times night and
morning at intervals of ten seconds.
Another exercise bath for the arms
and lungs is to stand with the heels
together and take a deep breath.
Then stretch one arm backward and
upward, then the other, meanwhile
moving the body backward, forward
and to the sides while expelling the
breath slowly.-N. Y. World.
