Fashion's Enormities of Forty, Years Ago
Seem Even \Vorse Now. '
We know that fashion changes from
your to year, and that her freaks are often
uninavrked'by Wisdom and good taste, but
we do not fully appreciate the enormities
she commits until time has rendered them
obsolete. _A glance at the fashion plates
in magazines of 40 years ago provokes
boundless wonder as to- how men and
women over consented to make such ab-V
surd spectacles of themselves. Consump-
tive gentlemen, with sloping shoulders

generations ago really carried 1161" chest

. men do thl‘s and ‘ similar things, audit is
not taken as a sign of mental feeble'ness
or incapacity. .
. Men are quick to notice women’s dress,
and they are severe and discriminating
critics. Although it is going against gen-
erally accepted opi ion to say so, it is ex-
tremely doubtful if they are as good judges
of beauty unadorned among women as are
women themselves. A pretty gown, cs- .
pecially if it be rather dashing, wins two-
thirds of the admiration that a woman
fancies is all inspired by her own person-
ality. A certain disappointed mother re-
marked of her son and his wife that “he
fell in love with her-clothes, ” and she told
the truth. The wife had neither beauty,
wit, education norx affection to make her
desirable, but she hadh‘ fashionable figure
and excellent taste in dress. Eight men
out of. ten find such awoman more attract~
ivc than one of any other type. So, as
men and. women both like becoming dress,
