MRS. BLOOMER BEGAN 1T.
Woman Immortalized Herself by Sus-
gesting Substitute of More Rational
Dress for Skirt.

DTeSS iOT OhiTt.
New York Herald: About sixty-six
yesrs ago Mrs. Bloomer, New YORK
woman, immortalized herself by suggest.
ing that the skirt b. discarded in favor
of a more rational style Of dress.
But it was as far back as 1851 that
the number OF the magazine called the
Lily and edited by her contained her
portrait in this odd dress which the new
farm service smook and boomers re-
semble.
Mrs. Bloomer. who was then living in
Seneca Falls, N. Y, was at once recog-
nized as the champion of the new move
ment in favor of dress reform.
The oddly of the costume and the
fact that she printed articles of physi'
clans showing that this style of dress
was more hygienic, brought her into
the public eye. A visit she made to
London heightened It. The fashion was
killed there, it is said. by an English
public house proprietor dressing his
barmaids in this costume.
1t appears, however, that Mrs. Bloom
er was not at all. as one would suppose
masculine sort Of woman. According
to those who saw her she was very
dainty. wore Paris frocks, and 1t was
only when she talked that one realized
that the person who looked like a bit
of Dresden china had an unusual brain
