"YOHAN AND DLzkS.
{From Doni ’rest.)
The world is fall of theories about
women ami their dress, and one of
the m is ( mbodicu in the general idea
that it is the business of women to be
ornament J, and continually turn sh
a suer' si'-nct’ charming pictur s for
the eyes of men to rest on. But it
i ■ >e •emen that this orna
mental idea is a . ly expensive one.
The nui her of worn n wb • arc sup
plied with means by which to make ;
dress an art ami them .elves lay figure:-,
upon which to display millinery d vi
ces, is constantly g owing smaller;
the class of women who are obliged
to earn their own livelihood in any of
the ways which necessity wrests from
the iron l.amls of jealous, exacting i
force, is constantly larger.
Till' world recognizes t. e necessity
for men to Irtve a useful, uniform dress i
which shall not be 12: their way, in or
der that they m y .accomplish men's I
work; but is it any more necessary for
men than for the masses of women. ;
In New York city alone, there are at
least 25 thousand women whose I
time is all oc up I in their efforts ,
to cru a livelihood and who are oblig
ed to go out in .a-it and cold, in stom.
and sunshin ■' prosecution
their daily task. Many of these wo
men are gentle in manner, refined
in taste, delicate of person —but the
question with them is imperati-ely.
What kind of dr. ss v ill be the least !
trouble and of the most service? ami ;
having found it they are compelled to
adhere to it.
They not only r m’t afford the money
which variety :n dress costs, but they
cannot put the time and the strength
in it which changes and studies in
dress require; they are obliged to take
what is placed ready to their hand,
and needs the least thought and the
least care toloep inorder. This ne
cessity tends towards the establishing
of fixed ideas and permanent modes
—a great desideratum, and one that is
of incalculable value in forming char
acter and doing good work.
A true theory of dress subordinates
it to the comfort, the convenience, the
personal requirements of the wearer.
Blind submission to authorities, on
the contrary, subordinates health,
comfort, convenience and even grace.
We smile with conscious superiori
ty when we hear of the Chinese moth
ers dwarfing the feet of their daugh
ters, but is this any worse than com
pressing the most vital part of the hu
nt a n syst em, and
isystematically, from the cradle to wo
manhood ?
Undoubtedly, a great many moth
ers did it most conscientiously. They
really believed that it was necessary
io elegance and perfection of figure
that neglecting the means to ensure a
blight and delicate form would be to
neglect an important duty. Chinese
mothers argue in the same way to-day,
and succeed exactly as American moth
ers did, in obtaining small feet, or a
bliin waist at the cost of their daugh
ter’s health, activity and usefulness.
The point that I wish to make, there
fore, is this; it is possible to think and
net for oneself even upon the subject
of dress, and decide for ourselves how
I n-our time and strength should be
given to it, and in what way. That is
to say. making interminable yards of
milling, in weaving countless yards of
lace, or tatting, or embroidery, in
wearing many colors, in every day
ch urging the cut of one’s garments,
or in a minute and fastideous atten
tion to neatness and delicacy of person
and costume.
It is undoubtedly true that the gen
eral appearance of a person indicates
the sort of portions tluy are, but cloth
ing, like furniture, is s > largely made
for us, that the most of us have t-o
take it nt its .’verage, without stop
ping to adapt it to our personal pre
ferences <>r individual tustes. If we
put our strength into dressing, if we
make an art ot it, well and good; only
let it be high art. true art, but do not
spend the strength of womauho ’d. on
the acquisition of gew-gaws, on some
thing that has no result, on a race that
is only disgrae. ful to the vieto, inas
much as it is not a contest in which
genuine art and cultivated fast, are
enlisted, but <\tra\ agant cost and a
childish craving tor novelty.

TWEL VE REASONS
FOR SUBSCRIBING. ?
1 The Constitution is publiihed at the (
Capital of the State, and contains Pro-\
reedings of the Legislature in full, together j
with constant and accurate information ot .
the actings of ail the Departments of the j
State Government.
2- It has the sole and exclusive right of pub- '
lishing the Decisions of the Supreme j
Court from the Reporter of the Court. I
These Decisions are delivered on Monday
of every week and are immediately pub- |
lushed in The Constitution. Lienee every J
lawyer in Georgia shouid take the paper, I
and the great proportion are subscribers - i
3. The Constitution is the Official
Journal of the State, of the city of Atlanta |
and a large number of counties. .
4- The Constitution publishes a weekly
Cotton Editorial embracing remarks on *
the Gold Premium and all matters affecting
the cotton trade, with statistics difficult to <
be obtained elsewhere. Producers and i
dealers in cotton, not alone in Georgia, but '
all over the country, procure the The Con '■
STITUTTON for these articles. 1
5. The Constitution furnishes Tele
graphic Dispatches and news from all quar
ters of the globe, including markets, do
mestic and foreign. Hence the paper is
popular with merchants everywhere.
6. Besides our Daily Associated Press
Dispatches, "The Constitution ’ has spe
cials {’rovu Washington, the National Cap
ital.
7. Its Correspondence Department is
unsurpassed in the South, having special
correspondents at Washington. New York, ,
and in various parts of the country.
8. “The Constitution” publishes a
monthly Fashion Letter from New York,
written by the most celebrated female Fash
ion writer in the United States. The la
dies, therefore, all want “The Constitution.
9. A new feature for this year will be
Weekly European Correspondence, by
which the readers of “The Constitution”
will be taken on a tour through Europe.
10. 'L'he ablest writers and statesmen of
Georgia selects “The Constitution” to give
their views to the public, and so do the
people, and hence it is the admited lead
ing Democratic Journal of the State.
If. The two great SPECIAITIES, our Su
preme Court Decisions for the lawyers, and
our Cotton articles for the merchants and
fanners, make “The Constitution unrivall
ed in this part of the South.
12. For the reasons given above, “The
Constitution” is the paper for all classes,
lawyers, merchants, farmers, mechani ’s and
others, circulates in every county of Geor
gia, has the largest State circulation and is,
therefore the favorite medium for Adver
tisers.
Every Georgian should, after taking his
own ZocaZpaper, subscribe for “The Con
stitution, published at the Capital of his
State; and we would here return thanks to
the people fora patronage, that has culmi
nated in the grandest newspaper success
known in the Southern States. "The
Constitution,”}not yet live years old, has
attained a circulation never reached by a
Daily paper in Georgia, and has erected a
magnificent five-story building of its own,
as complete as any in the United States,
giving employment tose""nty or eighty per
sons daily, and running a half dozen presses
by steam. Visitors to Atlanta are cordialy
invited to call and examine “The Coustitu-'
tion” building and its powerful presses,
printing four or five thousand papers per
hour.
