When more than a quarter of a cen-
tury ago Elias Howe gave the sewing-
machine to the world, civilization hailed
him as tliebeiiefaotor of woman. Hood
had just stirred the heart of humanity
with his wonderful “Songof the Shirt,’*
and the wrongs of the sewing-women
were one of the social questions of the
day. Men were ready to forswear linen
and adopt paper collars and shirt-bo-
soms, rather than to “wear out human
creatures’ lives.” And so a great shout
of thankfulness went up over this iron

wore garments simply made; dresses

ing tin work on which so much time has
been spent as out of fashion. Under-
clothing is a ’mass of tucks, puffs and
rutiles, and the day has gone by in
which a simple hem or tiny scollop was

ment. Many of us remember when
children’s every-day frocks were guilt-
less of trimming; when rallies and tucks
were k*:p; for state occasions. To-day

recommended by eminent authority, but
simply as preparatory to the proper

As a rule it may be said that any un-
