A GOOD MOVE.

By L. L. HOWARD

I AM exceedingly glad that our brethren and sisters are taking hold of the matter of the reform dress. I have long felt that our wives and daughters needed just this. How much nearer it comes to living out the apostle's instructions to be clothed in modest apparel than the long dresses, heavy skirts, and indecent hoops, which they have worn in the past.
I am happy to say that a large number of our sisters in Maine have adopted it and I do most heartily commend them for their willingness to bear reproach in this respect, and I sincerely hope none will shrink from this most healthful duty. I do trust that the time will shortly come when we shall all eat, drink, and dress to the glory of God.
