Comfortable When at Work In
Her offiee-7cr Ideas Of
Present Fashions

New York--The newest slogan OF
reform In women's dress Is: .Trou-
sers for the business woman!" II
ever men and women are to be equal
q radical reconstruction In woman's
dress must take place. say the eman-
cipatresses Of the sex The reform has
already begun and brave little
stenographer In downtown New
York office is the first champion OF
the cause. She has introduced trou-
sers and shirtwaist as costume for her
working hours. While she Is enthus-
iastic to a degree. her courage fails
her when 1t comes to going to and
from work in mans attire. For this
purpose she has q dress which she
slips on.
This young woman is not of the
type that has worn trousers as a mat
ter of principle or convenience before.
She is dark, dashing. buoyant and Wig
orous, and the picture of her herewith
establishes her undeniable claim to
good looks. Hitherto the women who
have worn mems attire have lacked
both youth and good looks Some.
like DR.. Mary Walker, had the cour-
age Of their convictions and dressed
like men because they found mems
clothes much more comfortable than
their own Others have put on coat
and trousers In order the better to
earn their living and have wept when
they were discovered and had to re-
sumo the conventional apparel OF

for the sake Of being bizarre or
unique. She is acting purely for com
fort and health md is greatly opposed
to the present styles for women, hold
ing that they are basely immodest.
She Ia young woman who has al
ways been full Of self-respect, and In
adopting trousers In place of skirts
she has done so with dignity and rea-
son. Speaking Of her views on dress
she says:
There Is hardly a girl who haf not
dressed herself in mans clothes some
time OF other Just for lark There
is not one who ever has done so but
has sighed for the freedom Of move
ment which skirts have denied her.
am not a dress emancipation who
dreams only Of her hobby. But | be-
lieve the present style OF tight skirts

modest Trousers are far more de-
cent for women than their narrow
skirts and low cut waists. They are
more economical and hygienic. They
do not gather dust and germs the
way skirts do. and II you wear trou-
sers there Is no necessity far wear
ing corsets / never saw girl YET
who enjoyed the corset Every one OF
us wears them for the same reason as

Doubtless the present fashions have
reached such point Of absurdity that
q greater reform in women's wear
than has ever been known before will
result In the hobble skirt. fashion
overreached itself--even its inventors
laughed at the preposterousness of IT.

arguments: "A sex that
