This J; th4 theory thaf’ toipon thejeft totA, handed 4 jj master to anot Ou^jt^nw^r the ^rlormatio. fastening her dress, was nbt a free per son, and that in order to develop her noblest qualities she must be permit ted to fasten her dress fjn' front, and | thus dispense With assistance when jputting on her: clothe?: Calvin dif i fered from Luthej in this matter and 'maintained that dresses' fastening in i front were not authorized by Scripture j and were therefore wrong. Melanch i ton tried to steer a middle course, and ! naturally gained ; nothing by it, Luth j er upbraiding hifo for hfewant ofcour I age, while Calvin changed him with i heresey. The fi^al retujt of the very f hot discussion of, the matter between the great leaders', of the Reformation! I was that each one clung, to his original ! position and thab with % the exception j of the immediate followers of Calvin, j the women of the- Refcnned faith ac | cepted the doctrine of I^uther and be * gan to wear dresses fastening in front, i So strong is the force of tradition (among women that the,dress fastening : behind did not entirely disappear \mtil within the last quarter Of a century. Men are now living who remember having seen dresses fastening behind, and there are women wljo, still speak of i the trouble and vexation which such I dresses involved. Hooks and eyes held their place with ktjll greater te nacity than dresses Opening behind, and for some purposes tjiey are still used by dressmakers;' , >!■: jnow, it is evident tnat noons ana eyes can be used; with ease only when the hook is held in the {eft hand and the ey? in the right. The hook mere ly requires to be- held perfectly still while the eye is passed'over it. This is the reason why, when the dresses j were fastened with hooks and eyes, the j eyes were always placed on the right ' side of the dress and the hooks on the left side. After the;' Reformation, when dresses fastening1 iji front begaii to be used, they? were.; still fastened with hooks and eyes, and of course the eyes were placed on the right side. No dress-maker ever thought of deviating from this custom} and it is safe to say that no woman could have had the pa tience to wear a tjress hoiking on the right side. ' : ■ When buttons »l>egah< to take the place of hooks aqd eyes it was natural that dressmakers-shotild’place the but tonholes on the side .where the eyes had formerly been % placed. Dress makers, being women,- knew nothing by experience of the nature of buttons, and supposed, tha^t it wsfy. necessary toj handle them precisely ; aS hooks were handled. ; ' * We have thus a clear and trustworthy1 explanation, of th§ origin of the cus tom of buttoning dresses oh the left side. Any British Scientific person willing to incur tfie labor of a little original investigation Could have solved the problem, for ’it is pot1 one which presents any real difficulty, but as has been already said, it is Easier to invent theories tlua ifc ia siyqy tacts.—ISCTO York Times. : .
