312 BABYHOOD. Womans Dress Reform and Physical De-velopment. I belong to a company of youngwomen, many of them mothers, whohave lately taken up both these im-portant subjects, and are living by per-fectly practical rules, which haveshown good effect already, and we be-lieve will surely do great things forus and for our children. The dressreform consists in wearing the unionundergarment, then two other gar-ments only under the dress, unless aboned waist is worn, which is notnecessary. Then the dress skirt issupported by a waist fastened to itand out of sight under the basque,which may be boned or not. Thewhole dress may be as beautiful andartistic as ever, but all feeling of dis-comfort is gone. Indeed it could notbe known, even by a woman, thatone was practising dress reform. Thisis not a fundamentally different styleof dress from that now worn, but itanswers the purpose desired and doesnot render one a marked object. The reform undergarments are de-signed to cover the body as uniform
