The idea has always been accepted
that fashion is the ogre and tyrant of
comfort. The statement cannot bo
flatly denied, but it is noticeable that
after long and patient endurance,
comfort materially changes the dic
tates of fashion, and, of course, in
many cases absolutely refuses to obey
them. For instance, the once coveted
■v ftsp waist is no longer fashionable
and is even considered a mark of vul
garity and ignorance when the desired
nineteen-inch band is worn by tight
lacing. The dress reform movements
have done a great deal to bring about
the change, but human nature's con
stant cry for comfort has done more
for it and has given the reformers their
standing ground.
In connection with the question of
dress reform one's attention is called
to the amusing turn the short skirt
movement has taken. When Mrs.
Jenness-Miller gave fehape and vigor
COMIXG QUEEN OF THE CAPITAL OF KANSAS.
WiMs^o^
TOPEICA, Kan., Sept. 4.-Mrs. C. S. Sut
ton, who will be the absolute ruler of the
capital of Kansas during the week of the
fall festivities, is one of the social leaders
of Topeka. From Sept. 27 to Oct. 2 Mrs.
Sutton will be the queen of the carnival.
On Monday of that week a regal train will
bear her to the state fair grounds. She
will be received in state by her loyal sub
jects, who will give over to her the keys of
the city, and will bow their kne-s in hum
ble submission to her will. She will lead
to the deess reform work by exhibiting
among other gowns the neat rainy
day dress, many women in all serious
ness condemned it as altogether im
modest, and many others, who had
never seen Mrs. Miller nor the grace
ful costumes designed by her, pointed
to every short-haired, short-skirted in
dividual as a product of the Jennets-
Miller movement, until everything that
was ungainly and unwomanly was laid
at Mrs. Miller's door. But lo! that,
which all the women reformers in tho
country had set the wheels in their
heads to going in order to bring about,
has been brought into vogue, and
fashionable vogue, too, by the two
v. heels of a bicycle which call unmis
takably for comfort and safety. So
now. when a woman has become ac
customed to the short but neat bicycle
suit which she has worn on a clear
day, she sees nothing immodest In
donning the same suit on a rainy day
instead of dragging her long skirts
through the wet and mud. A monu
ment to the bicycle!
Does a man ever speak to a woman
he does not know on the street unless
he is encouraged to think it will be
agreeable? Well, perhaps with a
significant emphasis of the "man," the
answer to the question would be "no,"
but certainly creatures do speak to
lone women and girls without a scintil
la of encouragement, and it puzzles
the ordinary imagination to place them
in the Creator's catalogue of Earthly
living beings. It cannot be that they
come under the head of "villians," for
a villian has brains and a character,
though it be satanic. They can
not be monkeys, for evolutionists tell
us that there is the possibility of a
man in a monkey. And beasts are
honest brutes; they never fawn when
they mean to fight. Fishes don't come
to the surface usually and they aren't
afraid of water. It must be that the
catalogue reads "humanity, beasts,
birds, fishes and human sundries."
As for the girls who do encourage
such addresses, the Creator surely
must accord to them the privilege of
the transmigration of souls and, no
doubt, writes opposite their names
"To be turned into flies, that they may
light on whatever and whomsoever
they please."
"Had I the wisdom of Solomon or
the brain of a Xewton, it would not
serve me so well as the dimple in my
chin," says one of the characters of
Olive Schreiner. What a sad comment
on the social fabric to which it applied!
And how absurd such a remark would
be now, coming from a woman of so
cial standing in our country. "She
Is pretty, but she doesn't know any
thing," is a verdict that brings a dead
lier consequence than that which was
supposed to follow the higher educa
tion of a woman fifty years ago. And
yet the true woman has not only re
tained her womanliness, but has added
a charm thereto which is far more
powerful than that of the dimple. She
cooks and sews, nurses and mothers,
calls and entertains with intelligence
now, not by tradition or superstition.
But, alas' education has not annihi
lated the difference between that gen
tle courtesy of the lady born and the
heartless etiquette of the lady made,
and it never will. It is the difference
between the ring of gold and the
twang o? gilded tin. If you would b"
rk-ct.-ived. don't touch it or let it make a
sound. That woman who has the heav
enborn art of refusing a request with
the Fame kindly smile and gentle man
ner with which she grants it is one
of the genuine jewels of society, and
needs not a particular light or setting,
as the paste diamond, to draw forth
its beauty. "Ha only is courteous
who has a kind heart," says it ail.
