The street-trolley, automobiles,
airships all unknown and
amazing things to him, but the most
remarkable thing to him was a
woman, dressed in the prevailing
style.
Some of us can't go back thirty
three years in our memories without
the aid of documentary evidence"
but, with the aid of old fashion
books, we may get splendid idea of
how women and girls dressed when
this recently liberated man left the
world behind him and was shut
away from all that was beautiful
and lovable.
His women folk were probably of
the humber sort: they worked at a
trade, maybe, and their wage was,
according to that day and time, mod
crate, but sufficient.
The fashions as laid down for the
well-dressed woman of that time were
comfortable, modest and appropri-
ate.
A look at the fashion-books of that
time show the basque snugly
fortably over the hips and conform
Ing to the natural curves of
woman's figure: the skirts were full,
hot bouffant-and the "draped"
skirt was very much in evidence. A
slight train was considered perfect
form, and the trimmings were
fringes, 'bugles' and the greatly
beloved "passmenterie" which con-
sisted of bead designs, deliberately
wrought and applied to skirts and
''basques" as finishing touches.
For street wear, blacks, grays. and
dark blues, in varied combinations,
were worn. Long ~cloaks were very
Stylish; hats were mostly bonnets
for the matron and the younger fry
wore hats trimmed usually with rib
bons or flowers.
The woman of thirty-three years
ago had been trained to be just
woman: she looked forward to mar
riage, home and children as her
rightful heritage. Her schooling and
her home training had. been, pri-
marily, with those ends in. view. 1t
is true there were women bread-win-
ners, but it was usually temporary,
and did not preclude the possibility
of the home and the children.
There were charitable and educa-
tiona1 institutions in which the infiu-
ence of wise women was most
potent factor, but there was no
demand for the ballot, for rights"
nor for the things the militant
woman of today is clamoring for.
And the man who has taken his
place in the world after an absence
of thirty-three years will, if his SEN
sibi''+ies have not been blunted, be
hoI led at the changed conditions
of the home life. He will no longer
see family groups" in the photo
graphers' windows any more than he
will see wax flowers under glass
cases, or horsehair furniture in "par-
lors."
He will see father, mother, son,
daughter, each go their separate way,
each intent on their own personal
interest, aims and ambitions.
He will note that modesty in dress
and manner is lost, in nearly every
age and condition.
He will note that the struggle for
wealth is heartless fight in which
the morally weak become criminals
and the physically weak become
corpses.
The automobile he sees whiZzing
along, spell tragedy far ofteiler than
they spell comfort or JOY.
