Excerpt from Dress: A Paper Read Before the Association for the Advancement of Women So many good and wise things have been said about dress that one is tempted to dismiss the subject as well-nigh exhausted; and yet that can hardly be while Fashion holds such strange sway as she does today, regardless alike of good taste, of sound sense, or of any lofty principle. Or if, indeed, all the good things have been said, it seems needful to recall them over and over again, until, by line upon line, and precept upon precept, they shall make themselves heard and understood. I trust I may be pardoned for saying that I believe there is no subject more needing to be discussed by right-minded women to-day, than this very one of which I speak.
