John w. Alexander, a portrait paint
er of New York, is raising a commo-
ton about the approaching disaster of
| the change of the female figure to the
masculine type. He thinks women
should not engage in athletic sports
that give them big waists and muscu-
lar arms. In France the woman is the
personification of grace; in Germany
woman is not so graceful, but she has
that motherly bearing that gives her
a loveableness not found among our
women, and in England the StatelineSs
and dignity Of the women dissipate the
slightest suggestion of the masculine.
He insists that If women continue their
violent exercises they will soon come
to look ridiculous in feminine attire. He
sounds an awful note of warning to the
women who play golf Ito excess" for
it is sure to mean that they must for
| felt their hOur-glaSS shapes and their
| wasp-like waists. Exercise may mean
| that women will come to look like
healthy human beings with power to
move vigorously and breath deeply, and
then the artists can't use them for
classic models, and this threatened
famine of models, while splendid for
| the public, is hard on the artists. The
men are hard to please anyhow. When
small waists are fashionable, they can
never say enough in disparagement of
tight lacing and when big waists and
small hips are the style they raise the
hue and cry for lost tenininity. But
| the fashions in woman's figure are as
| unstable as the cut Of their gowns, and
lar, masculine-like waist greatly re-
duced; SO the changed shape trouble is
only another synonym Of nothing to
get excited about"
| The meeting of the Story TelIers'
club, which was to have been held to-
| night, has been postponed on account
| of the Bispham concert at the high
school. The club will meet Monday
night, December 5, with Miss Lula Nc
Kee, 1852 Clay street. Miss Mckee and
Miss Matte Westenhaver will tell the
story.
