THE MODEST SEX.

Both at Salina and Emporia the
Christian people are clamoring for
the suppression of houchee-couchee
shows, says Topics in the Kansas
City Journal. 1t is proud thought
to the masculine sex that Christian
people are never compelled to clam
or for the suppression of shows
given by men. Men are inspired by
such lofty spirit of virtue that they
would scorn to make a spectacle of
their figures or their graces. 1t
may be said, without the fear of
successful contradiction, that no
man ever descended so low as TO
take 10 cents head from his coun-
trymen for an exhibition of his per-
sonal charms. And, by the same
token, the innate modesty of man
has kept him scrupulously away
from the field of art. No one ever
saw the figure of man scantily
wrapped in mosquito netting and
standing on a'bold pedestal in rep
resentatiou of "morn," or might"
or 10Y" or "hope," or any of the
other emotions. Scripture has rec
ognized this modesty in man from
times immemorial. And what is
needed in woman is that she should
cultivate mans shyness and pru-
derry, and get away from the for
wardness which is the parent of i'm
propriety.
