Dress is found to have a great effect
upon the insane as well as upon the
sane, and instead OF putting the poor
creatures into nondescript garments.
some wise people have given them just
the sort of garments that their souls
seemed to crave, even to tinsel crowns.
A woman who does not feel that life is
not worth living when she finds her
dresses spoiled in the making, or when
she is not able to afford a well-dtting
dress, is not normal and should begin
