Say a word of pralso for man ? No ; not
she ! Ml-s Susan B. Anthony could not find
ono single reason for approving "n govern
ment of , by and for men , " the evening pre
vious , when the subject of patriotism wns
being discussed. Yet she did flnd the value
of ono man Clerrltt Smith to illustrate i'
point when the Women's Notional Council nt
Its last morning public session took up the
mibject of dross. True the only use for man
Miss Anthony has is to illustrate a point.
She doubtless thinks that is all the good
hu is to nature generally.
This subject of dress , supposed by some
Hl-niiturcd men to be the all-absorbing topic
to woman , came up the first thing on a for
mal report from Mrs. Frances W. Loiter of
Mansfield , O. , representing Mrs. Annie Whlto
Johnson of Chicago , the chairman ot the
standing committee on dress.
Not much had been done , said Mrs. Lelter ,
by the dress committee for want of fuuds
nnd the publication of the dress bulletin had
to be suspended. She continued :
Women need such a publication to tell
thorn how to dress hyglenlcally in such a
w y us will glvo the greatest freedom to the
body and enable her to meet every vocation
in which she may be employed. We all
know wo are the victims of a style of
dress which has been Imposed upon us
by the prejudices ot the past , nnd wo have
b-cn forced to accept the situation and to
dress as though we nro unlpcds instead of
bipeds ,
Several years ago a letter rame to the
national headquarters of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union from a woman
very much interested in dress reform , sug

But the thought como to me : "It will
never be done that way. Even had Frances
Wlllard put on such a dress or were Queen
Victoria to put on a beautiful nnd sensible

< lnt MM n .Sample.
Mrs. Lclter related an experience with
Mrs. Bertha Morris Smith of New York at
Denver at a meeting of women thero. Mrs.
Smith was Invited to bo present. There
was a big anew storm at the time. In came
the women with one hand holding up a half
hundred weight of skirts and accumulated
snow and the other with between twenty and
thirty pounds of Woman's Christian Temperance
ance- union literature. They twisted nnd
turned Mrs. Smith around and there were
plenty of feminine observations to the effect
that "this is Just the very thing. " "But I
know that before the meeting ended those
women would glvo themselves away , " re-
'
i'marked Mrs. Lelter , "and in a little while I
heard ono and then another say , 'Yes , but
j how would I look In a. costume like that ? '
for there were tall nnd short women there ,
big , thick and thin women , beautiful women
nnd women not so beautiful , and I went out
of that congress knowing that cxamplo was
not the proper way. " Mrs. Lelter went on :
The whole question Is a moral question
nnd wo lack the physical courage to carry
It out because our women have not been
educated to physical courage. Dress reform
will not como from outside Influences , but
from within. Our girls need physical trainIng -
Ing In the public schools nnd other Institu
tions of learning. I believe we ought to
have gymnasiums for women established In
every Important center or population and
there Is great need of physical reform in
our public schools. Girls graduate from our
schools and colleges with much of their !
health lost. When nt last woman realizes I
that much of her liberty Is curtailed by her
manner of dress she will find seme way of
loosing the bonds. I have been looking to
the national council for years to take a poI j I
sltlon on this question. The girls In what '
physical training they have In our public i
schools do not even take off their corsets
during their exercises. There ought to be
n law like they have In Ilussla compelling !
girls , as long as they nro being educated , to
go without corsets.
Minn Anthony on Mint.
It was then that Miss Anthony had n story
to tell. In 1S55 when dress reform was at
Its height Mrs. Miller , the daughter of ,
Oerrltt Smith of New York , the millionaire i
abolitionist member of congress , wore the ] |
"bloomer" costume a dress much less j j
"queer" than the modern gymnasium dress
I or bicycle costume In all classes of society. |
So Intensely did Mr. Smith feel upon the
subject that ho wrote a letter to his cousin ,
Elizabeth Cndy Stanton , saying it was no
use for women to expect equality of rights
so long as they persisted In following
{ I'arlsluu fashions. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
i replied that the dress of women was not the
J causa but the result of the conditions im
posed upon her. Hero Miss Anthony com
mented :
So lone as women are disfranchised , so
long ns wo have to ask some man for a
_ chance to mnko n llvlnc. ea lone as the wife
j Is a servant to her husband and the favors
[ she cots nro because of her sublcctlon to
I him. EO lone will wo be compelled to dress
In the conventional way with all Its Incon
veniences nnd dra\Ybacka. What wo need Is
free women.
Mrs. Louise Barnum Robbing of Adrian ,
Mich. , told of physical culture societies i
which are teaching women to have their
dresses hang properly from their shoulders.
Mrs. Lelter. speaking of an Intention of a
college president to teach physical culture to i
glrl , tald It was found that out of seventy-
flvo girls only three had straight spines. i
Her daughter wns instructing a class at ;

Minn Sliuiv Still Lively.
Ilev. Anna Shaw was presiding as the
vice president of the council. She caustically - ,
ally remarked : "We have been always rep
resented HS never tiring of the subject of
dross , and I believe that the men would
like to have us never tire of It , so we
v ould not talk of our other rights. " |
Mrs. Lelter having said something about I
"fifty years , " Mlra Shaw informed her 11sI I
toners she had gone past that point and
was as spry as ever. "If you don't think
60 , " she enld as a clincher , and with omln-
oiifi meaning , "just conic out with me some
time on a bicyle and I will out-wind you ,
out-distance you and out-everythlng you. "
Her challenge was not accepted.
The details of human anatomy were en
tered into by Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby. It ,
was the first time In flvo years , she said , j
she had appeared upon a platform in the ,
conventional dress. She had learned from
her experience with the Chicago Woman's
Correct Dress club what a proper costuino
wns like and had worn It ; also that the real
dividing line of the body Is just below tbo
stable ribs. The evolution of man's dress
was actually duo to the Invention of women.
Once In the evolution of the race women
were the business end , because man was the
warrior nnd woman the worker. Women
therefore wore a business costume and man
had since appropriated the trousers which
had bfccn the Invention of woman.
Thl-ro In \o Wnlnt 1,1 ill' .
"These conventional things" she charac
terized as "instruments of torture. " In true
art models there Is no waist line. "When
you sec a round woman she Is laced , for the
human figure Is naturally an oval. " Mrs.
Smith's dress had been a short-skirted one ,
terminating Just below the knee.
Moral courage Is what Is required by
women , thought Miss Shaw. The experi
ence of the "co-eds" ot the University of
California at Berkeley was given by her.
The gibes and jeers of the young men had
frightened the girls out of wearing a sensible
short-skirted dress and the wise faculty bad
apprehended that the morals ot the young
men were in danger from the sight of
shapely limbs and ankles. Even from the
Young Men's Christian association came
fears as to the effect upon the morals of
the young men. Miss Shaw observed on
this point : "I said It was not thu fault of
the feet of the young glrla , but the morals
of the young men. Women need this dress
for their own freedom nnd also for the moral
discipline of young men. "
A report from Mrs. Helen Campbell of
Denver , chairman of the committee on do
mestic science was read by Mrs. J. Ellen
Foster , and Mrs. Susa Young Gates of
I'rovo City , Utah , a daughter of Brlgham
Young , read a paper on the relation of cap
ital and labor as applied to domestic service.
llminrlinlil .Science. |
The phase of sociology embraced in
domestic science proved almost as InterestIng -
Ing as tro topic of dress. The chief Idea of
j the paper read by Mrs. Foster was the
change of base in economics , owing to the I
fact that much of woman's work , such as j I
laundry , clothes-making and even the prep-1
aratlou of food , Is being socialized as are
other trades. "Food is being put up in' I
bottles , jars , boxes and cans until there re-1
mains Httlo but the chafing dish between' ) '
I the counter and the plate. These , are not
fortuitous things , " philosophized Mrs. Kos-
ter , quoting from an article of Charlotte
j Stetson Perkins , "they ore connected phe-
noniena in an orderly process , not "to be
checked by the dead band , even though. It
be the hand that rocked the cradle a century
ago. There Is no more- reason why we should
continue to stick to the cooking stove ot our

of t'he ' past. The conditions have so changed
that wo want trained experts In our ( house

Campbell's article she deduced that .house
hold science should , bt > taught to the girls in
all the public schools. Then Mrs. Foster
gave her own experiences ? in the- camps nnd
hospitals upon the return of the soldiers
from Cuba. At ono of the camps the lied
Cross society had established a diet kitchen
In connection with the hospital , which was
presided over by Dr. Mary E. Green ot
Michigan , and the things resulting from Dr.
Mary Green's cuisine were pronounced
"marvelous. " Mrs. Foster was satisfied that
men do not know how to cook and Inasmuch
as an army reorganization tilll is about to
como before congress and the necessity ot
having a proper culslno In conncotlon with
the military sen-Ice Is becoming more and
more apparent she hopedi the women of thu
country would toke a lively interest In the
matter.
StruuU a Sdiinprr.
Somehow Mrs. Shaw turned the discussion
onto the question of women's vocations. She
had recently joined a grange and is there
fore a "granger. " In the secret recesses ot
that grange she had discovered a man who
signed his occupation as that of a farmer I
and a woman who put down hers as that of
a "farmer's wife. " This latter was unin
telligible to Miss Shaw. She could not con
ceive of a woman's vocation being that of
anybody's "wife. " The real vocation of the I
woman was that of a "home-maker. " As
for herself she had given her vocation as It
really : Is , to-wlt , a "clergyman. "
This brought Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett of
Washington , D. C. , to the floor. Mrs. Bar
rett having brought into the world three
sons and three daughters felt altogether Im
partial as to the sexes. So long as the sons
were paid for what they did about the home
and the daughters were not there would be
no such thing as equal pay for equal work ,
nor so long as women pay their male butlers
more than their all-around housemaids.
There were quite a few good points in the
paper of Mrs. Sarah Young Gates of Utah
on the relation of capital and labor as ap
plied to domestic science There was a
great d&al of comparison between the condi
tions of the servants In Europe and America
and some slight sarcasm as to the ability of
some. American women to grasp the house
hold situation and get along with their help.
"Many women In this country have time to
gossip about their neighbors and abuse
their servants and hours for the study of
languages and philosophy , " asserted Mrs.
Gates , "but little time for an Intelligent
consideration of household economy. It may
bo said that the American woman Is under
taking to grapple-with every problem of the
universe except that of ruling her own
household and handling her own servants.
The friction between capital and labor in
domestic science Is owing to a lack of
sympathy and tact on the side of the mis
tress and to new and unusual conditions on
the part of the maid. "
Work of Crltli-nilfii MUitlon * .
Several of the women Interested In tha
Florence Crlttcnden mission movement met

of Washington , D. C. Mrs. Barrett , Susan

ally seen the stripes on the backs of 'ho
negro slaves , but she believed the real , prac
tical work of ameliorating their condition
should bo an endeavor to stop the supply
ot unfortunates by bringing about right
economic conditions.
In Mrs. Scwall's opinion much of the mis
chief productive of ruin of young men and 1
women was on account of the ultra-indul .
gence of parents in their proverblalisms of t
"Oh , boys will be boys , you know" and
"Young men must sow their wild oats. "
Mrs. Barrett dwelt upon the fact that the
slavery of Anglo-Saxon girls lu places of
degradation IB fully as bad as was that of
the negroes In the south. The only thing to'
do , she thought , is to try to help the girl I
back to the earning of an honest living. The
maternity work of the missions had been
ono of the most hopeful features of the
Crlttcnden movement. Fully CO per cent
of the young women reclaimed are now male-
ing honest livings for themselves. The inis-
slon method has the advantage of the family
without any of the difficulties which would :
bo encountered where It has been sought to
have Christian families take such unfor
tunates into their keeping.
Hmv Tlipy llrlp filrlK.
Speaking of tbo maternity feature of tho'
missions , she said :
In our Florence Crlttcnden Homes wo do
everything possible to fit a woman for thu i
duties ot motherhood. Wo teach her from
the moment she enters the door the value '
of prenatal Influence nnd how to give her
child the best opportunity for spiritual , men ,
tal and physical good. When the child
comes wo show her how to care for It nnd ( j
wo give her an opportunity of making an
honest living for herself and It. Wo know
that It IH hard for a girl to disgrace her
family by acknowledging her guilt to those
who knew her under happier circumstances ,
nnd I must confess that I am Virginian
enough to believe that a name should bn
protected , so we advise our girls to go off
Into some other community , where they nre
not known and where they will have a
chance to live an honest life without bring ;
ing disgrace upon those they love.
Each mother owns her baby's clothes and >
Is responsible for Peeing that they are kept
In good condition. She has all the appli J1 J"
ances for comfort and convenience that are
necessary to ono In her circumstances of
llfo , but not the luxuries , even had we the
money to furnish them. As far ns wo can
control circumstances , everything Is upon
the basis of a true home. If wo cannot have
that trinity which God Intended husband ,
wife , child wo can have that other trinity-
mother , child , home that has a mighty po
tency In it for good.

today In a Christian country , tolerated by !
'
a Christian public on the whole , n humane
public that wltnej-sef not only the torture
of the wretched animals , but the brutnliza-
tlon of its young men and maidens.
This Is the crime which the American
Antl-Vlvlsectlon society , organised In 188" ,
has sot Itself to oppose. I venture to say
that no society among those belonging to
' the national council is so purely dlsinter-
CRted in It3 purpose us this society. Its
members have nothing to gnln by espousing
the cause of the poof , dumb unlmalK and
they are being subjected to much obloquy
and misrepresentation by their opponents.
Dr. Halo was rather severe upon President
Eliot of Harvard university and the forty
| ' ' college professors who nlgned a statement In
I defense of vivisection and she enumerated
I ; long list of eminent scientists , phllan-
tbroplsts and church dignitaries In this
'
country and -In Europe who are coming to
i the defense ofthe animals. She saw In the
. oxperlments of vivisection a menace to
'
human beings , inasmuch as science would
Insist upon more reliable experiments for
the determining of the facts desired of
physiology , and she ridiculed the yellow
fever experiments made In this country in
the last few years , "with bacteriological
equipments and rabbits and guinea pigs , "
' resulting In a total lack of knowledge of the
"difference between the yellow Jack and the
1 j dengue fever until Jack Frost comes along
and does more than all the doctors. Claude
Uernard , the French vlvlscctor , Pastrur and
Koch had each admitted the futility of vivl-
section ; the aerum cur * was becoming a
medical fallacy and the germ theory wan
tottering. So far as the essentiality of
science to the happiness of the human race
IB concerned , "better , far better , " said she ,
"tho simple animal content of the unlettered
peasant than the restless , unscrupulous ,
domineering brain that would lay waste the
world of every generous nentlment and make
It as bare of bud or blossom of tender-
ness or pity as Sahara. " A bill had even
been Introduced Into the Ohio legislature by
a doctor contemplating the turning over to
-the , tender mercies of the surgeons such
i criminals as were sentenced to life , on tha
ground that much good human material for
vlvlsectlvo purposes waa being let go to
waste by the ordinary methods of punitive
execution.

When Iao a Httlo girl of 8. years ft man
who ran a grist mill said to me , "Your
father may bo a minister of the church ,
little girl , but I work with God. I am not
lonely In these woods , for I know His lawn
nnd I work with them. " What this Blinpli
miller paid to mo changed the whole course
of my life and I have since found that this
republic Is 'the ' spiritual expression of thu
laws of ( the universe , situated HB this coun
try Is. walled In by the two oceans and pro
tected from the unity and uniformity of
Europe and tbu empires und patriarchs of
Asia. Lowell said. "America Is lu the air , "
and wo have an exact reprcbcnlatlon of tha
nebulur hypothesis of the scientist In our
town meetings und the crystallizations o <
public sentiment that come from them. 11
the human mind bo the expression of tha
divine. aH I bcllevt' . then the collcutlvo bal
lot IB the authority of God and the republlu
Is divine , nnd the basis of authority In our
country Is education. In Mohammedan lands
uud In China the children are laught that
education serves religion and that religion
serves the throne , but In our country , In oiu
ileslro of tlio flnltn to attain itho Intlnitc. re
ligion serves education , because education iH
the authority. In the human mind Is the
expression of God upon earth and therefora
attention hero is centered upon education
thu education that fits for citizenship.
Children IIN I lie Foiiiiiliitlon.
I ithlnk when the child Is 10 yours old there
should , bo a ceremony for 11 to go through
similar to those of ancient Home a cere
mony of Initiation Into the membership of
the republic. In our survey of rclglous de
velopment no people are KO Interesting us
the Jews. Over the temple of Herod wnn
this Inscription , "Tho world Is saved by the
breath of the children.Vo need thcso
motion in our public schools , so that Urn
children may understand that the under
lying principle nf our republic Is rcllgous
life. Our government rests upon ainnlty ; not
upon itho HhouldcrH of BO mo Atlas , nor upon
ono man tm the head nf the nation , nor upon
ome prophet , as of old ; but it revolves upon
Its own axis of principles. As Lowell says ,
"When America shall leavcu the world we
shall harmonize the world in that unity
which Is consonant with the universe. " What
Is that unity ? It Is not the uniformity ot
Europe ; it is the harmony of forces , each
true to Itself. So you ask me , What are the
tendencies of religion In the nineteenth cen
tury ? My answer Is they con&tlturb an i-f-
fort to find a method of harmonizing forces ,
Just as the planets sing together lu the
universe.
The Idea of these expositions wo enjoy to
day Is the Idea of the present , as the ancient
women thought of Isitt , gathering all the
past together , that Horos , the future , might
go out und bless the world In Uils nineteenth
century as ono with the past. Just llko thu
trinity of the wlno women of Kgypt.
