WOmen's Buttons.

Attention was drawn by Dr.. james
Shaw at the Ambidextural Culture So
ciety to the singular fact that the buttons
of feminine clothes are on the wrong
side-or rather, since ladies may maintain
that it is mems buttons which are wrong
that mems buttons are on the right side
of the wearer, and women's on the lett.
This popularity DR.. Shaw ascribed, not
to feminine perVersity, but to the fact
that those who set ladies fashions were
supposed to have maids to dress them,
for whom this position was more con-
yepient.
