MooEsn IS 4 MALE VIRTUE
Wtth Women Il 10 no Mesa Than an
Artificial Protsetlve cSvles,
oays Writer.

And in this same connection Il ID
time that We revised our ideas Of
feminine modesty. What q lot We
have written about It and how much
We have enthused over It! Some OF
u have even tried to flnd in It an in.
spiration. and women have listened to
our praises and our esctasies for all
these years and never once have they
divulged the secret that they had not
the slightest idea what we were talk
Ing about They have known that we
were crediting them with some virtue
that they did not possess. but the only
way In which they could learn of that
virtue was by an observation Of our.
selves.
For modesty is a male, not female,
virtue. and II men do not get the
credit due to them It is only because
they have lost the power to blush.
What Is called feminine modesty Is
no more than an artificial protective
device. something that is assumed for
purpose. like revolver. 1t has no
basis In consciousness. But male
modesty has a basis in consciousness
and is unassumed. No power on earth
could persuade man to enter draw
Ing room stripped to the sixtieth de-
gree Of latitude. He would be quite
shy about it If only men were present,
but women will do this in the pres
ence Of both sexes, and many Of them
would go lower still but for the con-
ventions.
Now woman who had to walk
down the street In decollete dress
would probably blush. She would say
that her modesty was offended, but
actually 1t is her sense OF the appro-
pirate that would be offended, for she
has not the least objection to BATH
ing in public-that is to say, playing
about on the sands-in a costume far
more explosive than the decollete
gown. In short, woman's sense of
modesty is one-half q protective pose
and one-half sense of the appropri.
ate. II you want natural and un-
spoiled modesty you have to go to
men for 1.-THE Argonaut.

Miss Susan B. Anthony. the social

nent that Horace Greeley. the famous
editor and journalist. It was for a
long time his custom to wind I'D all
debates. with the conclusive remark:
"The best women I know do not want
to vote"
When the New York constitution
was being altered in 1867 Miss An.
thony laid a trap for him. says a BIZ
ographer. She wrote to Mrs. Greeley
and persuaded her not only to sign q
petition herself. but to circulate the
paper and get 900 signatures among
her acquaintances.
In committee Mr.. Greeley, who was
chairman, had listened to the debate
and was prepared to introduce to the
convention. an adverse report. He
was just about to utter his usual set
tier" when George William Curtis
rose.
"Mr. Chairman" said he, "T hold In
my hand a petition for suffrage signed
by 300 women Of Westchester, headed
by Mrs. Horace Greeley"
The chairman's embarrassment could
hardly be controlled. He had found
that one 6f the best women know"
