FASHIONS AND MARKETING.

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, Of New York and New
port is, we are informed and believe, a very veal
thy woman. But her head has not been turned
by her wealth and recently she uttered some
thoughts that were creditable. She made an adj
dress in Newport the other day and she discussed
some practical subjects, including short skirts and
tighthtting garments and the question of keep
irg a firm hold on the family purse strings. IF
women" she said, would go to market and re.
form their present style Of dress there might be
fewer divorces" We don't undertake to say that
Mrs. Fish is right in this comment, but We have
a strong bunch that she has suggested two re
forms that are worth trying for. The Newport
News item from which we CLEAN the above men
toned facts about Mrs. Fish does not say whether
she does her own marketing, but it does say that
she eschews reigiously the forms Of dress that
she condemns.
