Lotze makes another interesting
point concerning the tightnsss Of
clothing. especially to stays and
corsets.
"The greater or less tension and
frmness possessed by the material
in itself or due to its cut Is trans
terred to us, as II It resulted from
our bearing"

loose morals than tight ones. This, at
least, II we remember rightly, was Lotze's
idea, who also explains that waving plumes
on hats, hanging tRssels, wells, scarfs, rib
bons and various other adjuncts give a
sense Of joyous movement and vivacity to
the wearer and also to the observer-and
therefore by suggestion makes them 81.

The nineteenth century philosopher.
Herman LotZe, IN his "Microcosmus, re-
ferred to by DR.. Dearborn, held that
clothes often tend to expand personality.
Clothes, or at least parts Of ones cos.
tune, may be considered as a kind OF i'm.
plement to the outer limits Of which the
personality tends always to expand. In
using q chisel, for example, mans per-
sonallty is on the beVeL or on the edge
OF the tool. In like manner, In wearing q
cane one Is apt to have his attention at
the further end Of the cane, or at the close
end or at both ende. High heels act In
somewhat the same way. "Swagger.
sticks" so common now, tend to ex-
pand the personality; so do high hats,
very broad hats, coi1ures like those Of
Eiizabeth's day. Even hustles tend to ex-
pand the individuality Of the wearer, and
IN q direction at which one wonders"
comments DR.. Dearborn discussing Lotze's
views.

coats, clumsy overcoats and 'supernuous

lessor Dearborn.
