THROW AWAY CORSETS,
WEAR TROUSERS.
SAYS MRS. GAIT

NEW YORK, Dec. :. - Make d
bonfire Of your hats: throw away
your corsets and wear trousers in
stead Of these ridiculous tight skirts
is tho recommendation Of Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, the suffragette leader.
to the Equal Suffrag" League in her
report of her two years Tound-the-
world campaign in behalf OF votes for
women
My trip around the globe convinc-
ed me" says Mrs. Gait. that my own
cOuntrywOmen are the most fettered,
sartOrially, TO be found anywhere.
Compared with the Chinese women
the American woman is almost as
helpless as a baby. II is time for the
western woman to kick herself free
OF the swaddling draperies which the
Parisians send over to us. We should
declare our independence in dress as
we have in politics, and the sooner we
do II the better for health, happiness
and the cause"
Mrs Gait advocates the Chinese
dress or a modification of it because
it is the most sanitary, healthful,
comfortable and artistic costume a
woman can wear" She describes the
Chinese costume as including loose,
straight, hanging trousers, made of
silk or other material and over this
garment a straight loose coat which
comes below the knees usually and
buttons over one side. This garment
is collarless, with sleeves that are
half tight and end between the elbow
and the wrist"
