This is emphatically an age of reform and we have 1t dished out to us in all manner of ways, from all manner of sources and for all manner of reasons. "of the age and the general liability to excess; The l latest reform is that instituted by certain women’s ‘ organizations both in the United States and Canada for the standardization of women's dress. One idea is that “business women” should wear a uniform style of dress and the style suggested is a black dress with l White collar and cuffs. The “reason annexed” to ‘ this suggestion is that it will do away with the pres- , entextravagant following of each other into all kinds ' Of excesses in dress. The reasons are sound but, like many other reasons, insufficient. When a young lady of the pres- ent day undertakes to earn her living, and many of them do, she is not going t0 wear a uniform that will proclaim to the world that she belongs to the working class. The young lady of today, when she appears on the street, whether she be a domestic or the “right hand man" in a store or office is “monarch-of all she surveys” and is not supposed to be distinguishable from a duchess or a millionaire in her own right, and no mere man can classify ‘her either. The suggestion for this reform, fortunately comes from women and it is no doubt well meant but we predict for it that it will never go further than the suggestion. Another suggestion comes from a clegyman for reform in women’s dress. He is protesting against what he calls the “growing excess of nudity.” This of course is serious and also, no doubt, wcll meant, but if the fashions call for still further excesses in this direction we have no doubt they will continue-per- haps until the law intervenes. No one has yet inti- mated whcrc the fashions originate but, no matter Syithat their soucc, the women will follow them un- flinchingly and at any cost and the mere men will admire them only as they conform to the latest. We have little faith in the success of either reform. THE MAN 'l‘Il.-\'l‘ “'18 MBA .\"l‘ In the controversy over the Falconwood affair the Patriot likened the Guardian's search for the Commission’s report to the hero in one of Captain Marryatt’s novels “Japhet in Search of a Father,” spelling the word “Japheth.” In its yesterdays issue it declares this spelling correct, according to the ‘ scriptures. Japheth, it will be remembered, was one of the two sons who discovered the nakedness of a . certain individual (Gen. 9:23). as the Guardian dis- ‘i covered the nakedness of the Patriot and the Bell government in the Falconwood affair. The Patriot has evidently not searched the scriptures in vain. .We trust repentance and reform will followits con- fession. 0 ' EDITORIAL NOTES The last thew has given citizens have more snowstorms yet and we "h another opportunity to get their‘ should "profit ‘by the experience of Iidswslks in shape for compliance the p“, 9.“. weekm with the city bye laws.
