DRESS AND ITS ECCENTRICITIES.

taken of their children year by year, that they

1ms lately come Into our hands.
In which the fashions of ladies' dresses some
fifty years ago and more are depicted. It is
quite amusing to see them. To our eyes they
Lave rather a grotesque appearanoej but not
Bo grotesque as they wouiu
r three years ago, because, in som a respects,
we are approximating to some of them, espe
cially to those of the "Empire."
Ve can imagine it to be a very perplexing
thing to know how to beep pace with the
changes which each year, and, we might
almost say, every season of the year, bring in.
M one time the dresses are as full as they
r scanty at another. The changes are pro-
Eitious to dressmakers and milliners and
aberdashers, but not to anyone else, except
ing so far as one fashion happens to be more
Incoming than another.
We have before now railed against the in
troduction of the crinoline, and the annoy
ances to which it led. Though it was said
that it would be laid aside, we ventured to
doubt the assertion, and presumed to say that
it had taken too firm a hold upon the public
lor it to be easily discarded. The origin of
the crinoline was Bingnlar enough. It was
said to have originated at a time when the
Empress of the French was expected to give
lirth to the Prince Imperial.
Is it not singular that a fashion so univer
sally adopted by women of all ages and condi
tion, married and single, should have had such
an origin? Surely one would have predicted
cf it beforehand that it would have been re
jected with disgust and scorn. Instead of
which it has been welcomed, is universally
adopted, and tenaciously retained, in spite of
the remonstrances, jeers, sneers, and dislike
Which it has continually provoked, and not
withstanding the attempts made from time to
time to lav it aside or bring it into disrepute.
Our eyes have become so accustomed to it that,
when we meet with any of those limp, straight
flown figures which are the result of its disuse,
We are startled and shocked, as if some of the
'corps de ballet" were walking abroad in the
noonday. We are disposed to exclaim against
them as an infringement of the laws of de
cency. We are indeed strange mortals, to be
BO much the creatures of habit that, if our
eyes.are accustomed to one state of things we
are intolerant of any other, without any par
ticular regard to the fitness, and propriety,
and decorum of that to which we have suffered
ourselves to become habituated. In time we
might get used to any oostume, however short
and Beauty. It is a dangerous state of things,
a?d we think that modern society Bhowa that
it is bo.
The Saturday Review has, with powerful
pen and caustio tongue, taken upon itself
the unenviable office of censor morum. We
Lad teen longing to enter the lists against
the prevalence of ' certain fashions which had
crept into the fest society, but we were
restrained from doing so, partly from a hope
that society itself would indignantly reject
the attempt to introduce a laxity of dress
Which cannot fail to have a demoralizing effect
upon the publio mind, and partly from a fear
f direoting attention to the style which we
consider to be so much to be reprehended.
Uut those apprehensions have no longer any
forcfl. Th attempt, has been made, and has
not been protested against, except by Evert
Saturday, which has also directed the publio
mind to certain peculiarities in the dress of the
present day, which might almost be called
Bcandals without any great straining of the
meaning of the word. The article to which we
refer was by no means exhaustive; but it is
perhapB impossible that it should be so, as the
freaks of unlicensed faucy which gave rise to
the remarks are almost without limit.
It was but a year ago that complaints were
loud against the amplitude of ladies' dresses.
The extent of ground they covered was almost
fabulous, and the consequent cost of a gown
was a serious item of expenditure, and
alarmed young men and old. The young
feared an entanglement which might lead to
matrimony, when a lady's dress was so costly
and their means were not great; and their
elders looked with apprehension upon a state
of things which, if it should find its way into
their homes, would paralyze all their energies
and exhaust their resources. But now the
complaint is that, while the dresses are plain,
almost to indelicacy, in front, they have
each immense trains that they actu
ally interfere with the enjoyment of
the public. A lady who walks in the
l'ark with a long train trailing behind her in
the dust and dirt, occupies bo much space
that no one dares to follow within three or
four yards of her. Imagine, then, what the
Inconvenience must be in large assemblies
within doors, where space is not illimitable,
and where the trains are even longer than
those for morning wear. The inconvenience
Lias been felt to such a degree that it has given
rise to a different kind of costume for those
who care for walking exercise, and dislike
equally to bold np their dress, and to suffer it
to sweep the ground. Their costume consists
Of a petticoat, a short dress which ehows the
petticoat, and a kind of cloak Jr mantle to
match. When this costume is worn, it has
the effect of three tiers of dresses, and - has a
most peculiar look, though we do not doubt
that it possesses great advantages.
In order to make the modern fashion of
plaitles3 gowns applicable to all, it is found
necessary to 6horteu the waists of the dresses
and as all persons are not made alike, and
Borne are thin and others stout, modern inge
nuity has hit upon an invention by which
whatever is defective maybe supplied. We
Lave been assured that, in order that all may
seem to possess a certain rotundity of form,
it has been found advisable to invent something
Which shall supply what fashion requires. 60
now fictitious appearances are to be kept np
- although they are, it is true, of a different and
more objectionable kind. The principle, how
ever, of supplementing nature is the same in
all cases.
It is also further asserted that as every
thing, even modesty itself, is to be sacrittced
to dress, and that as the Bole object in life is
the set and fashion of a gown, art has other
Inventions to supply other defects. There are
the Kins-palpitant and the ears, all made of
gutta-percha. It seems inoredible; but we
again repeat that there is no humiliation to
which some people will not submit that they
may be of that exclusive number who call
themselves the "fashionable world." Ima
gine a woman possessed of any modesty
submitting to such indignities, consent
ing to go forth as an impostor; her
form rounded by art; her bosom hearing, not
. with emotion; her delicate ear, pink like
shell, and of exquisite form, purchased in the
lioulevard. What an impostor I Who knows
but what she may be painted too f for it is
said that cosmetics are in favor by which false
tints are given to the skin and to the hair.
Not long since it was the fashion to dye the
hair red and gold, and make the skin white
with paint, the cheeks pink with rouge, and
the eyelids stained; bnt now this capricious
oddes, whom fine ladies worship with such
evotion, prefers dark hair and olive com
plexions, and the rage is now for brown
washes as it nsed to be for white. The blue
black hair and dark skin of the gipsy have
become tho envy of the ladies of fashion, and
they hope, by means of washes and dyes, to
make themselves "beautiful forever."
These freaks of fancy make us burn with
shame for our countrywomen. They savor too
much of the demi-monde, and are suggestive of
all that is coarse and sensual, and of those en
ticements and tricks which outrht to ln un
known amongBt gentlewomen. A predilection
for these false lights on the part of ladies of
fashion, and their submissive subservience to
their dressmakers, has introduced a habit of
low dressing which ought to be protested
against by all who have wives and fthiMr-An.
It has become quite a habit with even young
pills to have their gowns cut so low that they
positively offend against decency. It is, how
ever, very much the fashion for all ladies to
wtar their di esses too low to be too dtcolleU'e,
as the French term it.
Mod? sty is the greatest ornament a woman
can have, and the demoralizing effect of the
present ttyh- of dress is that it destroys that
modesty. We have heard it said by some
women, in excuse for thmsnl va flint tlmtr
dress in this objectionable manner in order to
please their husbands. It sounds incredible;
and if it Le so, we can only say that hus
bands richly deserve whatever reprobation
may be in btore for them, if they are so ready
to expose the persons of their wives to the
public gaze. Men are very apt to be hard
upon women who err. to Dass severa inrfrr.
nients upon them, and to allow no locus pent-
ici(;. jmh 11 mey are so iooiian as to encou
rage them in immodest dressing, tlmv ahnnU
be the last persons to quarrel with them for
following out their precepts to their natural
conclusion.
If we were called uron to sav what U b
distinctive characteristic of the age in which
we live, we should be inclined to designate
it as an age of shams. Unreality
reeps into everything. The eravest
matters are tainted with it. Even in re-.
ligion where unrealities should find no place,
there is contention about externals which are
devoid of any real meaning. Bishona and
clergy contend for pastoral staffs and vest
ments when they no longer have the things
they symbolize. Language is made to con
ceal the truth, and exaggeration distorts it.
Professions of friendship are hollow, and
treachery undermines the closest ties. In the
political world we hear it forever stated that
parties are betrayed by their chiefs, and that
..:w4Hi 1 - l .3 : .. i a i ,1 ,
uuiiuipio 1a at a uiscuum. auu in me smaller
details of life we find that, instead of the in
stincts of nature rebelling against anvthincr
that is unreal, there is an appetite for it; that
shams are in favor, and that every one is at
tracted by them rather than otherwise.
In the matter now before us we find
this to be especially the case. False
hair, false color, false ears, eto. etc. etc..
are used without compunction . where they
are considered to be needed. The consequence
is mat woman nas become an imposture,
and men have learned to fear that what thev
most admire may be but a successful art. Old
women have long since done all in their
power to repair the ravages of time. Wig3
and fronts, teeth, paint, and rouge, have
always been made use of by those who know
not how to grow old. But they have not been
able to deceive the world, which takes them
at their real value, and can see behind the
screen of unrealities to which thev have fled
for refuge from the print of years. We can
not resist quoting a passage from a well-known
writer on this subject, in which she has de
scribed the appearanoe of an old woman who
is not aEhamed of and has no wish to hide
her age. "See the plaited border, or the full
ruche of the cap, white as snow, circling
close round the face, as if jealous to preserve
the oval that age has lost; the hair peeping
from beneath, finer and more silken than ever,
but white as that border, or grey as the
Shadow thrown by it; the complexion withered
and faded, yet, being relieved, as nature has
appointed it to be, by the still more faded tints
of the hair, in a certain degree delicate and
resn; the eyes with most 01 their former fire
extinguished, still surrounded only with the
chastened hues of age, brighter than anything
eise in tne iace; tne lace- nseli, lined with
deep wrinkles, but not one that the painter
would spare 5 the full handkerchief, or rich
bustling laces scrupulously covering neck
ana tnroat, reminding us that the modesty
of her youth has eurvived, though not its
charms; some deep sober shawl or scarf which
the 1 rench righly call le drapeau de vieille
femme, carefully concealing the outline of the
figure, though not its general feminine propor
tions all brilliant contrasts, as all violent
passions, banished from the picture, and re
placed by a harmony which is worth them all."
The Bame writer, who has bo admirably de
picted an old woman whom every one must
venerate and love, goes on to speak of the
moral influence that such an one must have
over the society in which she lives. Having
gone through all the "progressive periods of
hie," having passed through its sunshine and
its 6hade, she "now casta them all aside," and
asserts her claim to our respect in the simple
fact of her age. She knows that "to all who
have eyes to see and hearts to feel, her silver
locks are more precious than the most golden
tresses money could purchase her pale cheek
more interesting than the finest bloom art
could simulate her modest coverings more
attractive than the most wonderfully pre
served remains of beauty she could exhibit
her whole venerable aspect of age more lovely
than the very best ' imitation of youth she
could possibly get np; who not only makes
old age respectable and honorable, but even
enviable, in the eyes of those who are still
toiling in the heat and burden of the day."
In quoting this passage almost at legth, we
render, tn passant, the best tribute we could
pay to the right feeling and eloquent descrip
tion of one who has written so truthfully and
well on the art of dress. We wish, with all
our hearts, that her words would sink deep
into the minds of the young and old of our
time. The old would teach a lesson to the
young which they have great need to learn
and the young would know that the unspeak
able charm of the picture which has been bo
admirably drawn lies in the fact that not even
in the palmiest days of her youth and admira
tion did this old lady ever lav aside, or even
lightly tamper with, that modesty and refine
ment which, are in every sense the crowning
graces of womanhood.
How different must be the influence of that
meretricious style of dress of which the dis
tinctive feature is unreality and imposture,
and its chief merit successful simulation !
How truly has it been remarked that it haa
a demoralizing effect ! How can it be other

to a PjBtem of Imposture that the may a.

nature nas omittea, ana by aint ot pads to
impart a roundness which does not exist. If
she is the reverse, then the budding ;harms
are to be exhibited, and low dressing is
adopted. In short, the one idea is to make
the most of a young girl's "points," and to
hide her defects. She ia introduced into
society very much as horses are taken to fairs
for sale. Her "points," her "paces," are care
fully studied beforehand, and the chaperon
takes the place and performs the part of the
salesman. Her daughter's establishment in
the world is the one all-absorbing idea, and men
are valued according to their rent-roll. Aa
dress is the means by which favorable impres
sions are first made, it plays a very prominent
part in the game, and all the tricks and entice
ments of which dress is capable are adopted
without any hesitation. We do not, of course,
refer to those perfectly innocent embellish
ments which relate to the preference of one
dress for another, or for one style for another.
These are most legitimate and innocent. We
refer to those impostures in dresa by which
things seem to be which are not, and the
adoption of which ia in itself a great indignity
to the whole race of womankind. No one ia
bound to dress herself unbecomingly; but,
on the contrary, is more than justified in
making the best use of nature's gifts. Oar
protest is against the introduction of novelties
by which women are taught to impose upon
the world, which cannot fail to have a demora
lizing influence over them, and which dese
crate that modesty which is the best jewel a
woman can wear. London Society.
