above another that grates on my
nerves it is to hear men falsely
accuse the fair sex. Now, I am
going to prove to these people
beyond reasonable doubt that it
is neither sty le nor fashion. For
instance, you take the dress of
years ago; they had to be cut
high at the top, low at the bot-
tom, with long sleeves, full in
circumference. Now things are
reversed. They cut them low at
the top and high at the bottom,
without any sleeves, and they
have some kind of a device (I
can’t call the name just now)
with which they can save consid-
erable goods in circumference.
Now, here is the point. If you
can take the same amount of
goods that used to be required
for one dress and now make two.
It seems to me that my way far-
ing man, though he lie a preach-
er. could see that it is economy,
not style. See? Then they hail
much to say about their riding
aside and astride and the hobble-
skirt, etc. It is no difference to
me how they ride, whether aside
or astride, before or behind. But
if there is anything saved in the
hobble skirt, I say let’s take out
another gore or two; for anything
saved these hard times beats hav-
ing to make it. With the use of
a $2.50 pair of high-top gloves
and a >5.50 parasol they can save
all the goods required fog the
sleeves; a big saving, see? In
years gone by they wore hats and
bonnets. Now most of them do
their going late in the evening
and at night and don’t have to
wear anything on their heads ex-
cept rats; another big saving,
see? Now, if it takes all the
above named requirements to con-
stitute style, I say, amen. Cut
•tern higher, lower, tighter, take
Out another gore, for it certainly
means a big saving these hard
times. Let’s have more style.
