In Ohio, the legislature considered
the advisability of regulating the ma
terials and cut of women's clothes. and
in Oklahoma City, not long ago. a
minister got up in his pulpit and de-
nounced women who pad. OF course
the reverend doctor wasted his energy.
for no woman in civilization is wearing
any such contra ption as pad: for
while many women of embonpoint are
using all sorts of devices to subtract
from their size, not one with the first
idea of fashion thinks of adding to it.
Still, people insist That Kansas is the
land of cranks, though we have vet to
elect a legislature that undertakes to
dictate the fabrics that women shall
wear, and the new rag dances have not
thus far in this town run amuck
