PANTING FOR PANTS.
Evolution has been t>pigraminatical
ly summarized as the survival of the
fittest. If the present advance in the
shape of women's toggery continues,
this same evolution can be labeled
the revival of the fitter.
He certainly will be needed, accord
ing to Dr. Maude Glasgow, who talk
ed on things sartorial in New York
the other day. Her evolution, how
ever, will be a revolution, though a
wild one. "The changed times will
soon bring about the substitution of
trousers for skirts."
The little woman who said this is
essentially feminine herself, but her
profession, and its chances for wide
observation have set her above the
finicalities of her sex.
Women who work will have to we?Jfl
trousers and coats like their laboring
brothers or they will be handicapped
too much. Skirts are in the way and
they must go.
But trousers cannot be hung in the
feminine closet through the action of
one woman. Amelia Bloomer brought
to ridicule a sensible idea because sh
tried to enforce it alone. Such a
movement must be in the mass as
the result of the gradual evolution
of woman's dress.
*\>r the matter of that, this evolu
tion is already on the way and no
one thinks adversely of it. Mothers
put their little girls in rompers and
even hidebound masculinity approves.
School girls wear bloomers in their
gymnastic and the world is not dis
turbed. Society girls and sensible
matrons have divided skirts for rid
ing, and the more advanced don knick
ers" jauntily. All the men do is to
turn and admire them.
So the end may be in the wearing
of trousers, a blouse and a coat by
women and the passage of the corset
to the wasteheajp instead of the waist*
line. Such a dress, concludes doctor
Maude, cannot be criticized on the
score of immodesty, for it would be
more modest than the peekaboo waist
and the hobble skirl As she says,
"women seem to have lost all seDse
of the dignity of dress. Trousers
would show a great deal less of the
contour of the figure, less of the an
kles, and would be more decent for
women than their narrow skirts and
low-cut waists." ? Cleveland Leader.
The first fiction number of Scrib
ner's Magazine was published July
1SS9. Among the notable stories it
contained were: "How the Derby was
Won," by Harrison Robertson; "The

of Ballantrae," by Robert Louis
Stevenson. The Fiction (August)
Number this year will contain con
tributions from Edith \\ harton, t.
Hopkiuson Smith, James B. Connolly
Georgia Wood Pangborn, Alice Brown,
and several new writers.
?The Lords and their fellow con
servatives in the House of Commons
are neither courtly nor heroic in the
hour of trial. They make too much
ado for the latter and they are too
abusive for the for the former. ? Ex.

A Woman's Letter.
Women, It Is generally admitted,
write much better letters than men.
M. Marcel Prevost discovered the
reason for this superiority. "The ob
vlous meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter.
There Is always a veiled meaning.
Woman makes use of a letter Just as
she employs a glance or a smile, in n
way that is carefully thought out and
with an eye to effect. And, after all,
i does a woman's hat serve to cover her
head? Does n woman's parasol keep
off the sun? Why, then, should a wo
man's letter serve to convey her real
thoughts to the person addressed. Just,
like the letters of some honest grocer,
who writes. 'I send you five pounds of
coffee," because he really does send
you five pounds of coffee?"? London
Spectator.
