Medical men are remonstrating with foolish young women who insist on having their morning dresses cut down at the neck several inches back and front, a French fashion that has often tried to obtain a footing in this country. It is all very well to quote the customs in the early part of this century, when ladies wore dresses made half high, and filled them in with muslin or gauze handkerchiefs, and yet lived on to a good old age; the habits of our time have unfitted us for the exposure of the chest and throat, especially in winter. It might be supposed that the influenza experience of the last two years would make girls careful to avoid all risks of bronchitis, inflammation of the lungs, and other chest affections, but some people never take lessons home to' themselves.
