WAR ON GOWNS.

Mrs. William Grant Brown, chair
| woman of the New York Board of the
Generation of Women's Clubs, says
that dress reform is one of the most
important subjects which will be TAX
en- up by the general convention in
May.
"Ten thousand delegates will take
back to their homes a concrete idea
of dress reform that will be a bless
ing to the whole country" says Mrs.
Brown, as quoted by the New York
World. 1--WE believe in the decollettc
gown, so far as it is a work of art.
but it should be modest and never
sensational"
By dress reform, Mrs. Brown does
not mean any radical departure from
the present method. She does not
advocate uniforms or polymuriels or
anything so puritan as to be ugly.
Quite the contrary. The idea is that
gowns should be beautiful, appropri-
ate, individual and artistic. Immod-
esty is not art Sensationalsm is not
beauty.
Miss Georgia Bacon of Worcester,
Mass, second vice president of the
Federation. is quoted as saying:
1--WE don't mean to return to Puri;
tan days. At our reception undoubt-
eddy many beautiful evening dresses
will be worn, but it is believed most
of these will be modest. 1t is the
duty of every woman to look as beau
tiful and pretty as she can. But it is
also her duty to look as womanly and
artistic as she can"
There is no organization more in
fluential in the national life than this
General Federation of Women's
Clubs. 1t means the best of woman
hood and motherhood operating for
the good Of society. Those ten thous-
and delegates going home with a con-
crete idea of womanly and artistic
clothing will be leaven in public
opinion which may lead to great i'm.
provement in the general attitude to-
ward the dress question.
