It makes one blush to think of women who are great moral reformers, setting to work to fix the attention of the world upon a new-fashioned peiiicoat! How would it sound in history to learn that Calvin, Ale'nncthon and Luther had set Europe by the ears about buckskin breechea? and suppose Father Matthew, and John B.

Where the convenience of such a dress would be, it is difficult to imagine ; as for ; hcalttifiincKa there is not on* in five hun-1 dred, if it were generally worn, who would ; use cither straps or a body, to support the j trowsers. but would make notches in their ; sides and hang them upon the hip bones, just ai they now do the skirts, and as men lately did their pantaloons, until the «urgeon »t Wcsi I'oint had to protest against the f?*)iigii as a fruitful cause id' disease arriong the cadets. Trow sera worn with, out resting upon the shoulders are much worse than skirts, because of the strain in sittin», and this strain is much greater w-itli women than men, on account of the difference in their form. In stooping lar enough to lift a thimble from the carpet, or plur-k a daisy, in a skirt six inches below the knee, tiio front part of the drapery falls on the lop of the foot, and tho back part rises some eight or ten inches over the knee, thus exposing the front part of the underskirts almrist to the waist. If one avoids the stooping position by' squatting,' there must be a constant care and use of the hands to insure that the skirts do not lodge on the knees, but fall over. If'they do not, one may exhibit her troweers to tho waist; and when a woman exhibits her form with no other covering than trowscrs, we do not want to be there. Then, again, in silting down ono must bo constantly on guard that one does not sit on the hern of the skirt, and sit on it so as to wrinkle it in the form of a festoon, like one often sees men's sack coats. To wear any kind of drapery well, requires some.taet and skill in the wearer, and it is much easier to manage a long than a short skirt. We should rather undertake to manage an ordinary riding skirt in a promenade through a briar patch, than get about in a skirt that only roached to the knee. Loose drapery is a necessary to the appendage of womanhood ; and how it can I e regarded as " an evil" is more than we can imagaine. We shall next expect to hear of " the evil" of long hair and eye-las,lies, and ihs oppression of long nicks, drooping shoulders, taper fingers aud womanly bqsts. Skirls which reach quite down to the ankle and touch the top of the footi are no impediment to walking i unless they are worn wilh some kind of bifurcated garment underneath, and the two together do sometimes stop locomotion altogether until they cau be pulled into place; but we would give the men folk a monopoly of nil manner of covering for the nether limbs except skirt—oh yes, and boots in muddy weather. Soft loose skirts and warm stockings are all the covering any woman's limbs require, unites in case of some emergency of travelling in a storm, but when one gets inside of a quilted ballAon oV'a grass cloth tub, she wants cloth- AND r.KNT.H \J (MS, 110 ll"W. 1 business—ill Hi is.rjiy in ii|o " Yes, hut friend L''e, it m siu which true taste, neatness, economy and health have long cried nut in'vain ?
