JTly, our friend Jonnio Juno thus opts fbrth sorne. of 'the 'considerations which, from. a. feminind point of view, itgat the -weariness of life, REAbY-iADE CLOTIITNG F01t LADIE. A few. years ago only, three or four principal houses paid any at tention to-the making up of olo. thing for womeuAnd children, and With these. it was an e xpensive spepialty, which made no provi. Stoll and afforded no Accommodl tion, for the want of the great mid dIe class, who are the' chief stip. porterts of all industries. The gar. tnoi'ts offeied consisted of baby cloaks and articles of baby's under U-othing, made up in the most costly otyle, dressing wvrappers, or robes de chambre, biing the. only addition, in the shaie of dresses, to the stock. .Wedding trousseau, or sunitmer outfits, were sometimes ordered, in.which dresses were in cluded; but only under peculiar circumiatainces, or1by very wealthy people, the cost being enormously in advance of the prico for which the article can be made at home. With the improvements in sew 1ig m1achines, the coIIImoi, almost universt use, and the consequent cheapness of labor, it has gradual ly dawned upon the minds of wo men that no reaon in the world existed why they should not be able to buy clothing ready-made as cheaply and as satisfactorily as that of men. The objection that a more exact fit is required does not hold with regard to the mod. ern walking suits, or gored house dremmes. "What. fits. Qne fito ail," with the difference that the regu lar graduations in size afford, w hile the argument .is all in favor of much better style and design than is-gerierally obtained at home. Suits of white Victoria lawn, handsomely ruffled, are $12.50. Pretty suits of dotted lawn, with pattern borders put on as ruffling, three and two with a'heuding, were only $9, not more thtan the price of making at any city dress makers. Gored morning wrappers of American print., trimmed with a arrow hordering, Btitched on, are $3.50, and $4, and the same style in cambric and percale, $6. Trained white skirts of excel lent quality. well made, and hand somoly ruffled, are $5.50, and gored whito skirts with a wide hem and seven narrow tucks, to wear- with walking dresses, $1 50 and $1.75. These ard well cut, shaped, and made in tho best possible manner, so that it is a comfort to wear them, and if they have not the fineness and ieatness of exception al garments, have none of the botch, ill-cutting, which often dis figures home-made productions TIlE ECoNOMICAL POINT OF VIEw. Probably the prices given, low as they seemi to persons accus tomed to the former extravnmgant rates and to the city cost of labor wvill appear high to those whose limited means compel them to do even their own sewing on the most restricted scale; but ther'e are many others, who are not rich, who wotuld find positive economy in buying ready-made garmen ts at these prices instead of paying' high priced seam stresses and dress makers and enduring the worr'y and torment of finding t.hgm, di recting thtem and finishting or mnak ing over after themt. Moreover, in buying garments ready-made, one is more apt to limit oneself to the exact quantity or number of articles required, and in this way save acciumulations and appear' more uniformly in accordance with the prevailing fashion.
