OF MODERN FASHIONS.
Very frequently we hear the
women of today, the curiously garb
ed creatures that we call the styl
ish modern woman, compared to
the characteristic woman or the days
that are not Ions past, and the ten
dency according to opinions ol
those who are close observers is to
ward a complete revolution of the
^ sphere of woman. Just what effect
the broadening of her Held of use
fulness will have upon her charac
ter is not an uliuring prospect, in
view of tlie expositions we sometimes
see of the newspaper supplement
and magazine''specimens.
The young women of today should
appreciate the full meaning of the
•part woman must play, especially
now that she has demanded a front
seat and a leading roio in the active
drama of life.
The following comment on condi
tions, and advice to a young woman,
written by a friend who had seen
the world and understood its ways
is Interesting:
“You may think strangely of my
speaking so plainly; It is the im-
• ntive duty of man in this day and
tin e to speak in the open about the
Poe <i and the bad trait3 of human
character, magnifying thoso which
i ... .e woman beautiful and mini
mizing those who would destroy that
beauty.
“The tendency of the times Is to
obliterate sex lines, so that man and
woman can exchange places in *tfe
without comment by the public. The
women have our huts, our shirt-
fronts, our coats, our collars, and
many of them usurp the right to
“wear the breeches.” and still they
are not satisfied: they want to be
come Suffragettes: to vote seems to
be the cap-stone of their ambition.
When she enters poMtics, she loaves
behind her all that was sacred in her
former self; her voting Is the enter
ing wedge to her complete destruc
tion.
Responsibilities Are Different.
“Men are permitted by custom to
do many things both unlawful and
fled that she can render service, he
accepts her, and you know as well
as I do, it can not be a marriage in
accord with GOD'S HOLY ORDI
NANCE.
“When love Is lost, from this
world, between the sexes, that which
makes the home a shrine, is destroy
ed. The very altar of spirituality In
the home is torn clown, and the
home—the rightful foundation of
holy teaching and holy living, / wlll
become a race track for unbridled
animals, running at break-neck
speed, whence, they know not, whith
er, they care not.
The World in Vulgar Gnrl>.
“The world to-day, my child, if
wearing Its vulgar side outward: it
is sad but true, that men and wom
en are the mediums through whom
it is shown. The style of dress is
horrible; the manner of conversa
tion is far from being elevating: the
mode of entertainment is abomina
ble; and It Is alarming to think of
All these things beget influences
which must shape and determine
the characters of those who must
live after wo are gone. The line
which separates man from woman
is almost like the line between the
United States and Canada—imagi
nary. The sexes r.rc too c!crc
gether—too intimate; a man is in
troduced to a lady to-day; tomorrow
he calls her 'Mary.’ I wrfnt to urge
von not to he a blind follower of
custom and fashion: make your own
rules, observe your own customs.
•*v-T. .above nil, heed not that Paris
lihertir* who instituted these fash
ions. They ar£ freaks made to sell
at the expense of all else. Defend
by your Independence of Ignoble
fashion, the dignity of your sta
tion, and let your acts, your deeds,
your conversation, your life, in pri-j
vatn and public, spell TRITE WOM
ANHOOD.
