GODEY'S FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER 1870
Satins and sashes of the 1870's
By Elizabeth A. Kettlewell
When the calendar announces that
September is here again, suddenly, women
everywhere, become panic stricken by an
annual recurring malady known as, "I
haven't a thing to wear! This same com-
plaint prompted William Allen butler to
compose a poem in 1857, titled, "Nothing to
Wear", which was all about a Miss
McFlimsey who was in utter despair
"because she had nothing whatsoever to
wear."
Ladies of Clinton will be surprised to know
that over 100 years ago, Sarah Hale, mother
of Clinton's illustrious lawyer, Horatio Hale,
was able to ease this universal post -summer
grievance when she became editor of a
popular, ladies fashion magazine ... Godey's
Ladies Book.
Each edition of her magazine carried col-
ourful pages of the latest styles, and judging
by the exl -essions shown on the elegant
ladies illustrated in the issue of September
1870, they were pleased, indeed, with the
fine choice of new frocks for their Autumn
wardrobes. Just look at those tiny, high -
waist lines ... the fashionable bustles ...
tucks ... fine pleating ... buttons and bows ..,
exquisite lace inserts and edging ... and the
trains and flounces! Can't you just hear the
rustle of all that pure silk? (no drip-dry syn-
thetics in Sarah Hale's day!) And of course,
a matching hat was a 'must' for every lovely
gown!
Sarah Hale, born in 1788, won fame not on-
ly for her literary contribution to Godey's
Ladies' Book, but also for her endeavors
towards the upgrading of the educational
system for women. Throughout her youth,
she was bitter and frustrated over the denial
of worthwhile educational opportunities for
girls. After her marriage to the prominent
New Hampshire lawyer, David Hale, Sarah
persuaded him to tutor her in all that he had
learned in university. Armed with this
knowledge, combined with her inherited
literary capabilities, she confidently„ ac-
cepted Louis Godey's offer to become the
first lady editor of his magazine, a position
she held for forty years. From 1830 until
1898, Godey's Ladies' Book was' considered
to be the most widely readpublication of its
kind in America.
Although Sarah Hale became a widow
while still a very young woman, with five
young children to support, she retained her
energy, and dedication to the cause of the
improvement of the rights of women.
Among her achievements were, securing
the right for women to teach in public
schools; the advancement of higher educa-
tion for women; also she was a leading
organizer in the founding of Vassar College,
the first college in the United States solely
for young ladies.
When Sarah Hale died at the age of 91, her
passing was mourned by generations of
faithful readers of Godey's Ladies' Book,
whose lives had been brightened by the in-
troduction to each exciting new . style in
fashion design. That humdrum feeling of
early September was all but forgotten while
this ambitious lady was editor of the
womens' favourite magazine.
Fashions come ... fashions go ... but it's
certain that one achievement. of the ver-
satile Sarah Hale will always retain its
popularity - her greatly loved childrens'
poem, "Mary had a Little Lamb."

New standards for community museums
"The province's commitment to the
preservation . and presentation of our
cultural heritage through the community
museums of Ontario has been reaffirmed
with the introduction Of "Standards for
Community 'Museums in Ontario" the
Honourable Susan Fish, Minister of
Citizenship and Culture announced recently.
"These standards have been developed
through extensive , consultation with.
representatives of the museum community
across the province to ensure the protection
of our historical artifacts for future
generations," the Minister continued. "The
emphasis is on practical and flexible.
criteria( and a staggered seven year
implementation program allows - each
museum ample time to satisfy these
standards."
The "Standards for Community Museums
in Ontario" outline specific development
and upgrading activities that cover the
basic elements common to the operation of
all museums, large and small.
Areas reviewed include research,
collection records management, . staff
training, " exhibition and conservation
standards and the organizing of educational
programs. Because of both the time frames
allotted to make the necessary changes and
guidelines flexibility, it is not anticipated
that the museums will face budgetary
pressures. • .
Non-profit organizations, such as small
museums run by historical societies, who
may not be able to comply with the new
guidelines, will be eligible for funding under
the Heritage Organization Development
Grant Program.
I am delighted that' my Ministry and the
museum community are working co-
operatively to stimulate excellence in the
preservation of our • heritage," Ms. Fish
added. "I am confident that the
implementation of these standards will
enhance local museums and enable each to
provide greater enrichment for our entire
community."
OFA reputation ,is being compromised
The following is a statement by Jack Rid-
dell, MPP for Huron -Middlesex.
The 'reputation of the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture (OFA) is being compromised
by the present Minister of Agriculture.
Farmers across the province - indeed all
Ontarians - will, I am sure, -share my con-
cern that an independent non-political
organization such as the OFA is being used
by the Minister for his own personal and
political purposes.
Thee primary purpose of the Agri -food
media tours sponsored jointly by the OFA
and the Ministry of Agriculture is an at -

tempt by the Minister to enhance his
floundering image in the farming communi-
ty. Why else would he totally reject, as he
has done, the legitimate request that Op-
position Agriculture Critics should accom-
pany the tdur?
If the purpose of the tour is truly to pro-
mote the agriculture industry of Ontario,
why would my presence and that of the
other Opposition Critic, hamper that"objec-
tive? What is the.Minister's hidden agenda?
It is all too clear. Political and personal am-
bition.
The presence of representatives from all
three "political parties would undoubtedly
enhance the credibility of the tour, and
would add to the experience whichis so
vitally necessary in dealing with the very
fundamental and serious problems which
confront our farmers.
In refusing point blank to permit Ontario's
legislative agriculture critics to accompany
the Agri -Food tours, the Minister is identify-
ing the project as nothing more than a
political exercise, designed to distract at-
tention from his abject failure to address the,
problems of Ontario's agriculture industry.
The Minister does a disservice to all the
farmers in this province with his political
games, of which this manipulation of the On-
tario Federation of Agriculture is a par-
ticularly crass example.
One last question ... Does he intend to
meet with those farmers who have been
servedwith notices of foreclosure by their
banks?
