"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. ,I.X»♦- I.

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.
