MEANT TO REVEAL BEAUTY
That Is the Real Object Of Dress,
According to the Idea Of
Boston Man.

Dress so as to reveal your beauty.
At least that is the advice given by
Joseph Lee, a school committeeman Of
Boston, in a recent speech before the
National Conference of Charities and
Corrections. He takes issue with
those who have declared that the mod
ern girls costume is somewhat toe
frank in the revelation Of feminine
charms, saying that dress should be
used to reveal, not to conceal beauty,
and that girls should be taught this.
In speaking of what boys need, he
says they should be made more 70
mantle Girls turn naturally, he says,
to Laura Jean Libby, but boys have to
be led, and should be led, to ro-
nance.
In his address he declared that the
attraction of the sexes should be put
to its natural task of producing
strength and beauty instead Of being
permitted to go to waste, or worse.
"One way" said Lee, "is the promo
ton of romance. Girls are already
sufficiently romantic, but boys should
read Scott and Lorna Doone' while
still young enough to take them seri-
ously. Singing is loves native tongue,
and must be brought back from the
professionals into our daily life. Dress
making-from Praxiteles and Botti.
celli down to Worth-is the art not OF
hiding but of revealing beauty, and
should be taught to all girls In that in.
tention. The danger in our dance
halls and in any art is in the too sim.
pie rhythm which acts, like alcohol, as
an anaesthetic, relaxing the conven.
tional inhibitions and putting con
science to sleep"

as to local government, have been dis

The ordinances on which special EN-

as child labor, picture theatres, i'm

jumping on street cars, cruelty to
children and animals, sale of liquors,
drugs, cigars and cigarettes to minors,

SUFFRAGE WORKING IT'S WAY
EASTWARD.

One of the most important results OF
this election has been that four more
states have given the ballot to woman.
Not only Oregon and Kansas, which
have been in the forefront of progress
in many lines, and were confidently
expected to adopt equal suffrage, but
Arizona and Michigan have fallen into
line and the newspaper comments show
that the winning of the latter state,
which is farther East than any other
equal suffrage state so far, is vic
tory which will have great weight in
the contests for the franchise which
the women of Nevada, New York, Wis
consin, Ohio, New Hampshire, South
Dakota and other states will wage in
the next few years. For Michigan IS
counted as a comparatively staid, COLI
sentative state. 1t can no longer be
said that the woman suffrage move
ment is successful only in the wild
West.
A remarkable revolution has taken
place within the last ten years in the
minds of the American people toward
the question of enfranchlsing women.
When the first states to give women
the right to vote made the experiment
it was greeted with boots of derision
by the leading opponents of thought"
Now such staid and conservative pa
pers as The New York Evening Post
speak with the greatest respect of the
results of this experiment.
There is nothing in the experience
of woman suffrage as yet, says this
highly respectable journal editoriarily,
Ito prove that women voters are other
than a conservative force In this ma
tioEal campaign women have figured
more largely than ever before The
bitterest anti-suffragist can point to
no 'unwomanly' or unworthy action;
nor can any one assert that the home,
or the children, or the kitchen, or the
much-capitalized essentially feminine
traits have suffered any harm. No
one today thinks any the less of the
sex because its representative have
stood in the forefront of a presidential
contest A horrifying revolution it
would have been considered only a
couple of decades ago"
And this editorial, which we have
selected because The Evening Post is
conspicuously conservative and digni-
fed, is characteristic of almost all the
editorial comments that have appear
ed. Woman suffrage is no longer a
radical proposal, and it will be adopt
ed by every American state outside of
the South, within ten to twenty years
The negro problem and the South's
conservatism may hold it off here
many years longer.
