' THE subject of feminine dress IH be ginning to seriously agitate the leading ladies of the land. Miss Cleveland puts herself on record as follows : " 1 approve of evening dress which shows the neck and arms. I do not approve of any dress which shows the bust. Between the neck and bust there is a line always to be drawn. ' ' This seems fair and reas onable enough , provided the arms and neck are up to the standard. But Mrs. Stanton takes another and bolder view , and asserts , as a sanitary measure , that if ladies can not reconcile themselves to such stringent measures as draping all their charms , the display of lower limbs would He less injurious. The Times naturally feels a delicacy in vol unteering an opinion on a subject only to be discussed "when Mrs. Boffin d < 5es not favor us with her presence.1 Per haps if 31 rs. Stan ton's vies prevail Miss Cleveland may decide that the line shall be drawn after the fashion of the Scotch Highlanders , between the tibial nerve and the knee. Kansas City Times. .S.
