Its study is not only a fascinating commentary from the sidelines on the mainstreams of history, but it does what all good education should do — sets human activities in perspective, Take for example the increasing popularity of nude bathing on publie beaches, which is causing so much consternation in certain cireles. Were you aware that nude bathing was the common practice for both sexes until the late 17th century? And the unisex fad? It appeared in 1830s when men's clothes, while basically different, affected the sloping shoulders, narrow waists and full-skirted coats which gave them the silhouette of fashionable ladies of the time. In the meantime, a tumber_of famous ladies, including George Sand (Aurore Dupin), French novelist of the early 19th century, exponent of equal rights for women and mistress to Frederic Chopin, wore men's clothes most of the time and smoked cigars as well And contrary to what you might have thought — if you ever have about women’s undergarments — beneath those voluminous skirts and numerous petticoats of 150 years ago there was — nothing! Up until the 1840s drawers or panties for women were considered very immodest. For some 50 years after that a garment consisting of two tubular legs on a waist band with the inner seams left open came into use. It was only with tight fitting dresses of the 1880s that seamed drawers were worn. What brought about this particular dissertation? A visit to the city of Bath and its world-famous museum of costume — one of the several “musts” for us this summer on our trip. It was opened in July five years ago by Princess Margaret and has been growing in fame ever since. It was worth the wait. But first, a few words of introduction. From the Ist century A.D., 10 generations of Romans called Bath “Aquae Suljs” — Waters of Bulis (a water god) and disported themselves in the hot, tepid and cold baths and huge swimming pool fed by the subterranean hot springs of the area. Even after the Roman works fell into ruins, people still drank the curative waters of the spa and Chaucer's lusty and vigorous “Wife of Bath” in his medieval “Canterbury Tales” speaks well of their effect. In the 18th and 19th centuries it became increasingly popular as the social centre of Britain, dominated by Beau Nash and the Prince Regent. A huge assembly hall was built near the spa and ladies and gentlemen of the period came “to take the waters”, bathe away their gout, gamble and drink tea at the Assembly Rooms and build their magnificent crescents of Georgian houses. Today the city, which plays host to hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, wears its 2,000-year-cloak of history with easy elegance, while tourists like Bunny and I with just a scant two days to spend, take a city bus tour in which almost every house has known the presence of Britian’s greats — statesmen and scoundrils, writers and warriors; go shopping in the shops which line the bridge over the river Avon and in the twisting streets of the town; walk through the constantly expanding and restored Roman baths; thrill to the magnificent noon organ recital in the 40-year-old abbey; and try to cram an entire day's viewing into two hours at the Assembly Rooms (restored after being destroyed in the 1942 bombing) and up on the height above the town. The building is constructed on two floors. The upper floor or assembly rooms proper, are where the elite of 100 and 200 years ago gathered. Here, beneath the high vaulted ceilings with their huge crystal chandaliers and a thousand flickering candles richly dressed men and women lost and won fortunes, arranged assignations, exchanged scandalous and racy gossip, dined, and sipped the most expensive beverage of the day — tea. That's right, tea. It was so expensive that only the rich could afford it. Gin and beer were the beverages of the working class — “drunk for a penny, dead drunk for tuppence.” Middle class ladies in order to gain status, would then buy the used, dried tea leaves and serve the beverage, supped from a saucer, at their own, less elaborate parties. Today these extensive rooms are used for banquets and balls and one must go down to the equally extensive lower floor for the costume museum. Here the exhibits — of which there are several thousand af any one time — 10 per cent of the total — are displayed behind glass display windows in as subdued light as possible — “clothing is the COURT DRESS .. . Em broidered court dress of 1761 shows popularity ‘of the wide hoops or poniers. John Charters... Reflections & recollections WHAT TO WEAR? Din ner scene (top) shows typical dress of the early Restoration period. Silver tissue dress from the 1660s (right) is a example of women’s fashion in the Restoration period most fragile of human artifacts, disintegrating on extended exposure to dust and light.” Nonetheless, everything is displayed against natural background according to its period and social class. Natural-appearing mannikins walk, sit, pose or gossip in their drawing-rooms, bedrooms, streets or milliner's shop in natural and believable attitudes. The fashions start with the 17th and 18th centuries the prize being a 1660s court gown of the Restoration period described in the catalogue (for the benefit of the ladies) as being of silver tissue (silk interwoven with fine silver threads), with the bodice cut with a very low neck opening and short sleeves, and laced up the back The fashionable line was long and rigid with heavy boning and stiffening in the bodice and the waist dipped to a point at the centre front. The round skirt is pleated at the waist but the front panel is straight and flat. A wide neckline almost off the shoulder is trimmed with a deep collar of Venetian needlepoint lace (very, very expensive) “and the bodice and skirt are decorated with appliqued bands of lace. The hair is arranged with loose curls or ringlets over the ears but drawn into a tight bun at the back of the head.” It is, in fact, quite beautiful Gentlemen of the period also wore lace at the collar and cuffs as well as the new rage — the new three-piece suits which were just becoming fashionable, with knee breeches and large periwigs, of course As the century progressed, clothes became more elaborate and ladies’ hair-styles more complicated. Some of them towered three feet above their owner's head and were held up by a wire frame work, false hair, and grease. The punk rockers wouldn't have got to first base in this competition. Since the hairdresser only changed these mon- trosities twice a year, they became citadels to whole generations of head lice (and rumor has it even mice), and were the basis of baldness and a considerable variety of skin diseases. After the French Revolution in 1889 with its motto of “Equality, Liberty and Brotherhood” (none of which applied to the French Revolution) when a number of people lost their elaborate hair and their heads along with it, there was an abrupt change. Simple was in and the styles of ancient Rome and Greece became all the raj The ladies wore a curly-bob hairstyle and short-waisted, long-skirted, draped muslin gowns in the classical style. Those ladies with fine figures would sometimes even dampen down their gown to make them cling more closely (after the manner of modern t-shirts). Gentlemen — particularly young military gentlemen — were known to dampen their form-fitting doe-skin trousers in order to ensure a tight wearing fit. Today as history repeats itself, the same style applies to the modern unisex uniform — the blue jeans — with even more dramatic results. More next week Game teaches about poverty By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer How does a welfare recipient manage to survive each month on a limited income? It isn’t easy, as some Social Services and Early Child hood Education students from Selkirk College and local community service workers found out recently. About 40 and people g at the Fireside Inn to play what is known as 5 Getting Together or The Poverty Game — a w designed to teach pro- fessionals and others what it's really like to be on welfare. The game, which is more of a learning exercise than « leisure game, was conducted by Gus Long of Burnaby, who represents the Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Lutheran, United and Anglican Inter-Church Association promoting social justice in Canada. The game itelf was developed about three years ago by six low income womeh op welfare, with the help of two child care workers in Dawson Creek: The women form the actual orkshop people within the ehurch. “It's been available for about a year,” Long says. “It's a designed for professionals, for clergy, for lay The game takes about six hours and Long notes that by the end of the day, the participants intimately know the support systems that people have built for themselves. 1a Any SV We. ynan Wee designed not to make momep, to educate people.
