Fashion Notes: Past And Present

1880-Anti-suffrage arguments are being worn long, calm and flowing this
year, with the dominant note that of woman's intellectual inferiority.

1890-Violence is very evident in this season's modes, and our more
conservative thinkers are saying that woman suffrage threatens the home,
the Church and the Republic.

1900-A complete change of style has taken place. Everything is being
worn a l'aristocrate, with the repeated assertion that too many people
are voting already.

1915-The best line of goods shown by the leading anti-suffrage houses
this spring is the statement that woman suffrage is the same thing as
free love. The effect is extremely piquant and surprising.
