You Nice New Woman.

This may be the era of the new woman, devoted to intellect, philanthropy, politics, and science, and ignoring all pretty feminine fads, but one would not suppose her reign all an entirely comprehensive one to read all the literature of fashion that is being published, and not only published, but read with avidity, Perhaps the new woman herself has been unable to eliminate wholly from het complex and superior being the fond, trivial records of toilets, gowns, textures, and trimmings and cannot resist an indulgence more or less secret in the same. At any rate, there has been no time when women generally dressed more becomingly and so well as the present. One cannot now pick out the writing or the lecturing or the professional woman by her neglected dress and dowdyish appearance.— Philadelphia Times.
