It is ninny months since I visited this ehanning c ircle, hut I must step in a moment to congratulate Reformer upon his excellent letter against "immodest dressing." Old lti.il> iv.n .11... .1 ......41, rill . Oil, 111- l ^('IIIU'IIIIIII. I Mill letter was a model of good sense and good taste. 1 am exactly of your opinion. A half-dressedyoung woman with short sleeves and low corsage on the street is a sight to make her friends hlnsh for her, provided they possess more sense, and modesty than she has. Women have an excuse to such a style of dress' "It is so much cooler." Vou never hear the scrawny ones plead that they must lay hare their hony anatomy because it is so much cooler. They play the part of decency. Dear women, do not think that the more of your sacred jxrson you expose to the gaze of men, the more you are admired hy them. There was never a grcaeer 'mistake. Even from an artistic point of view, the dress that modestly conceals a girl's charms is the one that enhances her attractiveness. Beauty hidden or just suggested is more alluring than when openly displayed. We are all fascinated hy mystery, because it appeals to the imaginition. Alas! the fashionable dress leaves nothing to the imagi-, nation. The way a woman dresses is indi-i cative of her character. When 1 am thrown in company with a halfdressed damsel, I feel just like telling her to go home and finish her toilet. The fashionable hall dress, which | has little more than a girdle for a' waist, and not a vestie of sleeve, is .i 111 accompaniment lor the wn^ cup and the dissolute waltz. Our1 true women should rise to the full height of their modest womanhood and stamp the foot of indignation'1 upon these three evils. Mothers ] use all your influence to have them' done away with. Teael^ your | daughters to he pure and modest ' and to consider the ls>ld gaze of ' sensuous an insult rather than a tribute to their charms. Eito.
