Soms ladies moving in the highest social circles of the Italian capital, handed by Queen Elena and other members of the royal family; have just formed an association which aims at putting at and to the rule of the Parisian dressmakers in the matter of ladies fattire.

Their creations" are as exponsive as pos sible, while fashions varyo considerably las to make it an impossibility to adapt the last dress to the latest fashion. Real artists, it is said, will design the dresses which the Italian association proposes to favour, while it is pro mised that fashions will not change every other -wook.

A Morning Leader representative called on Mr. Henry Holiday, the sculptor, and advocate of healthy and artistic dress for women, and asked him what he thought of the idea.n
"From what you tell me," he said, “I am entirely in accord: with the association's ob jects. We may wall hope that the example not by Italy's royal personages will be followed in other enlightened European countries," '.
EXCEEDINGLY MISCHIEVOUS.
Mr. Holiday agreed that the autocratic treat. ment of woman's dress to-day was exceedingly mischievous, tending, as it did, entirely to prevent any natural development of the taste
of cultured persons,
"It dictates what they are to wear; It suggested purely by the interests of the dress. making trade, not by any consideration for tasto or comfort,"
There is ample room. Mr. Holiday thinks, for the cultivation of the aesthetic and the bygienic in women's drets.
"Women's dress is constantly changing, and with each change the new features are rapidly copied from the top to the bottom of the scale. What is worn by the duchess to-day will be imitated by the middle-class to-morrow, and caricatured by the 'Arriet of the day after." Thus, be thought, was the inequality of the classic a powerful factor in destroying in- dividuality in women's dress. The real trouble was that individuality was anathema to the high-class dressmakers. Individuality, when class equality was an accomplished fact, would; have the effect of permitting lady to consult her own convenience in the matter of attire. "We should then at once havo," he said enthusiastically, "an element of variety, pic. ~|| turenquedose, and individuality, arising simply from the wholesome conditions of social life and from the freedom which persions would. enjoy from that wretched tyranny-in the form COMPANY of the dressmakers--which now moulds all to
ane uniform pattern,"
