MRS. BLOOMER IN ENGLAND.

Finding that her efforts were looked on
with derision in her own country, Mrs.
Bloomer crossed the water and made her
appearance in London in 1851. There she
achieved great notoriety. Her costume
was called the "Camela' costume, and
the most striking feature OF 1t In the
minds Of the Britishers was It's graceful
pantalettes. Matters OF small detail were
left to the discretion OF private dress
makers.
Mrs. Bloomer gained a few adherents
and commenced q pro-bloomer and anti
corset campaign throughout the British
Isles. Her satellites, wearing the panta-
lettes that she prescribed. appeared ST.
in London. Glasgow. Dublin
and Edinburgh. They were hooted from
the streets. At the same time fourteen
Bloomerettes paraded the streets of Phila-
delphia and succeeded with great good
luck in escaping eggs and cabbages
Lectures were announced and given in
behalf OF Bloomerism. but the treatment
OF the lecturer was so hostile that she
ultimately gave up the idea and contented
herself by publishing letter in the Lon
don papers asking why II was that there
was so strenuous an objection in Great
Britain to women i'm trousers. when for
long time the British had tolerated a

cRiNoLINE AND HoOPSklRTS

In striking contrast TO Bloomerism were
the crinoine and hoopskirts OF the
period and the determined manner in
which the adherents of this form of dress
forced il upon the public. No amount Of
ridicule could brighten them off, and the
walking birdcage" succeeded against
great cdds. This fashion, II is said, began
with the ancient Romans. and later was
adopted in the "farthingale' worn by
Queen Elizabeth and her ladies. But in
1854 "the annual production of steel crino-
line springs for the world was 100000
Kilograms, valued at l0.500,00O francs.
out of which huge amount France alone
was responsible for 100000 Kilograms
and England for 10000 Kilograms"
Shortly after this came the reign of
Worth, the masculine ladies' tailor. II re-
NAMED for an Englishman to make his
success in Paris as moulder of womeD's
garments, and his fame became interns-
tional. Man milliners grew popular. II
WAS even prophesied that soon there
would be an era OF bearded ladies' maids.
And destiny, IL is written. sent Worth
from all eternity TO discover the law OF
crinoiine and the curve of the petticoat.
The crinoline was still all powerful in
England in 1852, but in 1865 the fashion
was modified by the advent OF the "Du
Maurier girl" who then became as popu-
lar as the Gibson girl of more modern
period. The Du Maurier girl lis tall. fair
and charming; serious without a trace Of
coquetry, frank without pretension. There

The next truly significant and pictu-
rescue appearance in the world OF fashion
is that OF Mrs. Bloomer. True TO the
traditions OF the new woman. this early
and enterprisng reformer was New
Yorker. After editing a magazine, which
was called "The Lily" she conceived the
notion OF reform in woman's dress, and
began To wear short loose skirt and
baggy trousers. tucked in around the
ankles. These trousers were called
"bloomers." and the name has stuck till
to-day.
