RATIONAL DRESS.
Mrs. Bloomer, being dead, yet speaketli. She and Lady Harberton fought hard fights in their day, while the "rationals" of tlio oarly 'nineties were divided, and the divided skirts of the twentieth century have been denounced says ("Health and Home"). Nevertheless, as we have seen, it is woman's intention to wear trousers when, she findß it necessary, and where she has a will sho invariably gets her way. As a matter of course, knickeri are now recommended to women motorists. They nro the "latest" in motoring fashions. They are essential for women aviators. If women are to ride mbtor-cycles, it is practically unsafe to wear skirts. To this favour have they come in all but name, now that they ride astride; and all that there is to be said on the matter is sense has triumphed over false'modesty and the craze for sensationalism.
