With the excep- tion of a quaint old brooch which caught together the bodice where it crossed, surplice fashion, in front, the costume apparently had no fast- enings. There was ‘neither belt nor collar, and only one seam in the skirt and two in the bolero. The general effect was of textiles draped—not fitted—to an uncorseted figure. “Personally, I don’t like to bother with buttons or hooks and eyes,” Mrs. Putnam explained to me. “So my costumes are made to alip on over my bead and to stay on without arti- fictal fastenings. “Then when I obtain a piece of beautiful material I don't care to spoil it by cutting it up into a lot of Silly little pieces. So I fold it around |me, make one seam at the side and {let it drape itself, I don’t wear cor- wets, because I know they would be harmful to me, and I don’t spoil the lines of my costume with a@ lot of irrelevant trimming. When they talk about the ‘lines’ of the ordinary fashionable dress I nearly shriek with laughter! For I don't consider that it has any lines.

Have you seen what they are going to wear? Perfectly awful!’ And then the speaker promptly pro- ceeds to martyrize herself by pur- chasing what she detests, “If I couldn't button my own dress I'd be ashamed to ask for the vote! Why should a woman who desires Political freedom continue to be a slave to that hypothetical goddess called ‘Fashion?’ “But surely one can use conven- tional fashions without being a slave to them,” I remarked. “And why dissipate one's energies by deciar- ing war on such unimportant foes?” MUST SPEND MONEY THEY CAN.

How long will women continue to wear cor- sets? Not one really wants to.
