WOMAN'S DRESS.

From time immemorial or since
Eve dressed herself in fig leaves in
the Garden of Eden, womans dress
has been of especial interest to wo-
man, at least. Recently it has evoked
the interest of the other sex in so
much as they have dared express
their opinion from the pulpit and the
press. The leading magazines con-
tain articles on the subject, discuss
ing it from various viewpoints; it is a
fit subject for the preachers talk, the
humorist's wit, and the cartoonists
picture.
We recall with interest the stories
told us of our grandmother's clothes;
they were few and plainly made, ex-
cept that she wore hoops and very
wide skirts. She had a few dresses,
perhaps, of good material, handmade
and well taken care of lest she need
another before the time and oppor-
tnunity came to get new one. Con-
trasted with this we notice the ex-
travagance prevailing in our time:
the woman whose husband has n mod
| crate income spends many dollars
for clothes; the working girls spends
| most of her wages for dress; the
daughter sometimes spends far toe
much of her fathers money for dress
The manufacturers, merchants, ant
dressmakers are the gamers; the wo
man is their tool and we'll she serve.
their purpose. The merchant place!
on the counter line of new goods
and woman buys because it is new, il
a short while something else is new
and again she buys. Novelty is Mt
tractive to the buyer and profitable t,
the merchant.
Perhaps vanity is one of the rea
sons for so much needless expenditur,
OF money spent for dress and dres
accessories by the woman of today
The love of admiration may lead wo
man to dress or try to dress them
selves in the extreme STYLES, Will
still others follow the trend of fash
ion, because they have to" to be con
sidered we'll dressed by the womel
with whom they associate.
The results are obvious. There i
a waste of time, long hours spent il
the stores, the millinery shops, an
dress makers; not only time but mon
is spent for which there is little or n
value received. Laces, hats, ribbon.
and dresses are bought, worn 4 fe,
times and replaced by new ones. TIL
fads are ever changing and as the
change more money goes into circula
