For Ladies Exclusively.
We "rise upon a pCrsonal exida
nation.
It has been gently intimated to
us that certain of our lady readers
were startled by our mention of
stocking suspenders. Their deli
cate sensibilities were shocked by
the audacity of such a liberty
such an invasion of the holy of ho
lies of woman's attire.
We have two or three things to
say about it.
1-We thought we were giving
infbrmation that was valuable.
2-For the last six months our
unsophisticated and uninitiated
eyes have been opened wider and
wider as one -tyle of' tiltereens
after another revealed more and
more of the mv'steries of woman's
under-garments. At first we con
sidered these disclosures as acci

our eyes and walked on faster.

possible of the human form divine,

chance to be.) So that. in the end.

minds became open to the convic

fair exhibitors to be sCn. We saw
them accordingl,v as did also the
rest of mankin(d. We thereupon
took occasion to speak of some of
these nether details of di ess in a
direct war, so as to caution (Iur'
lovely tiltareen-wearers that, un
less they meant for these things to
be "seen of all men," they must
wear their graceful glories in some
other style. This delicate sugges

the few extremists who had ig
nored the bright eunug glances that
have leamned ini their wake at
every stree t-cor'ner for the last
