Dr.. Haig Ferguson in a lecture at
the Edinburgh Royal Infrmary the
other day had some severe things to
say about the clothing of an adult
woman. 1t was hampered by fashion
and superstition and nothing could be
a greater tribute to the strong nerves
and powerful muscles of women than
the fact that their health had survived
for centuries their habits of cloth
ing.
A woman's clothing was the despair
of the hygienist. Children and girls
were more sensibly clad, but when
girls grew up they were often clothed
in a way which made them unable to
walk, run or breathe, Weighty skirts
low-necked gowns, pneumonia
blouses," the modern hat, the high
heeled shoe with its pointed toe, We're
all condemned. But, then, women Will
have it so and so it viii remain.

Especially Is the woman uf today
changing in the scope of her mental
development, states Judge Willard
McEwen, Of Chicago, She has a much
better understanding OF what is going
on In the world and her interest IS
more vital in the things outside her
own particular sphere than Il formerly
was. Woman IS waking up % a desire
for individuality, which Is just as
natural an impulse as the desire for
Immortality. II is In a consciousness
OF individuality that people get their
real happIaess.
Under past conditions man has been
the individual and woman an impress,
sionublc creature, whose religion.
training and sex Instincts made her
satisfied with children, and home and
working for a man, who Oh most OF
the time a false Ideal
She is modifying that condition. In
my Judgment the real question Of
woman's independence as n factor Ia

The drudgery in a woman's life should
be eliminated as far as is consistent
