American women cross their legs too
much. The practice makes them nervous,
he declares. and generally undermines
their health. DR.. Garzourka is touring
the world in the interest of science. 1t
was in Philadelphia that he gave out
an interview condemning the undignifi- |
ed and unhealthful pose which most Wo-
men assume in sitting.
Imagine" said he, Sitting in a car |
and seeing comedy young woman cross |
her legs in such a manner that-one of |
the limbs is displayed sometimes to the /
knee. In no country on the continent /
can women be seen sitting in public |
with their legs crossed so. To me 1t is |
astounding I have observed 1t in New /
York and in Philadelphia it is also the |
custom. I am given to understand it is |
so all over America. No wonder our /
women are nervous. Such positions as |
they assume while sitting is, to my
mind sufficient cause to undermine
their nerves and health.
I'm Hungary the women sit up straight |
and erect They do not lean against
things. They do not like rocking chairs.
The American women seem to like moth
ing but easy Longing chairs"
DR.. Alice NJ. Seabroolk of the woman's
hospital of Philadelphia was asked her
opinion of the distinguished foreigners
statement.
IT deplore the fact that a foreigner
can come over here and make such
violent criticism of US which is true"

comfortable. and we don't stop to con-
slider the injury that it works nor the
appearance we make. Crossing the legs
works injury in some cases, but think
the ungracefulness of the pose makes
the practice more to be condemned than
the fact that it works physical injury.
I'm past generations in this country
the women sat as straight on their
chairs as the doctor says the women of
Austria dc now. 1 personally remember
the time when I was not allowed to sit
in a rocking chair. Observe the elderly
women that one sees right here in Phil
adelphia. The great majority of them t
sit straight, not even resting against
the back of a straight back chair. And
that is the correct way to sit. 1t indi-
Gates poise, and physical poise means,
as a rule, mental poise."
But DR.. w. NJ. L. Ccplin of the Jeffer-
son hospital of Philadelphia, said Amer
lea showed its disdain of the dignity that |
hedges about a king many years ago,
and since that time the country has
