2772 - L. May 3; ed: 2/1,2 - There is an association of women's leagues
in Boston pledged to decent economy in dress so long as the war lasts.
Women, as a rule, have a crazy extravagance for dress.
"Will you, fair nymphs of fashion, consent for a short time, to wear
the innumerable dresses hung away, until your brothers, sons and hus-
bands hºve subdued a fierce rebellion against all that is dear to the
interests of humanity." (6)
