THAT SHAMELESS HUSSY. MISS MORN
YOuNG ;1i LADY ,CcoMEs 10 VfsIT TO;WHN
SHE'S POSING IN C STREET WINDOW
PORTRAIT THAT
STARTLED WINDY
CITY ON DISPLAY
BY FRED l.. BOALT.

BY FRED Il. BOALT.
Look who's here! Can
it be-? It can't be-!
But it is, isn't it? 1t is!
Miss September Morn,
of Chicago.
She has just arrived in
Tacoma, the shameless
hussy. She is actually in
our midst. Shivering, but
unabashed, she stands be-
fore us, where all may see.
She is altogether too alto
gether.
Do you not know Miss
Morn, of Chicago? You
wouldn't care to meet the
lady? But you have heard
of her surely? The motor
ious Miss Morn?
Goodness gracious! A pretty
how-de-do she raised while back
in Chicago. Paul Chabas painted
her. She's a picture you know.
She won the gold medal in the
Paris salon in 1912. The Paris
critics, the wretches, said she was
Art.
But she isn't. On the word of
Sergeant Jerry Sullivan of the
Chicago police department and
the Chicago postmaster, Miss
Morn Is very far from being a
perfect lady.
A. Chicago art dealer displayed
q print of Miss Morn in his store
window. Sergeant Jerry Sullivan
saw it. He arrested the dealer.
"She Is art" protested the
dealer.
"She is a shameless fec-male,"
said the sergeant, without any
clothes on"
A jury of brokers, street car
conductors, green grocers, floor
walkers and boarding house land.
ladies' husbands looked at the
nude and slender figure standing
and shivering in a mountain lake,
and returned a verdict of mot
guilty in the art dealers case.
But the city council pass
ed an ordinance bracketing
nude art with indecent cara
bet music, and forbi1ding
them both under a penalty
of from $25 to 800 for each
offense.
And the postmaster forbade
the publication of Miss Morn in
the catalogue of the Chicago
printing house.
They made it too hot in Chi
cago for Miss Morn. She blew.
And now she's here in Tacoma
and you can see her, If you wish
but of course you don't! in all
her nudity and bogus timidity in
the window of Hollis art store at
the corner of Ninth and c streets.
For humane as well as
other reasons, the Times pre-
sents Miss September Morn
partially clothed. The Times
artist has painted in a short
petticoat. He didn't want to
do it, He suffered. But we
made him do it.
AS you see her now on this
painted page she may not be Art.
But she is, we hope, fairly COM
Portable. Even a short petticoat
is better than no covering at all.
Just why a lady-even a lady
with September Morn's beautiful
form--should choose to stand,
nude and shivering, in an Icy
mountain lake on a chilly Sep
Itember morning, when she might
be wearing rubber hip-boots and
sweater, is more than we can
understand.
Il But there she stands, I'm that
10 street window, and il ,ou are
ldetermincd TO go and see her
standing there, there is probably
lnothing that we can say OF do TO
| prevent yon.
She is there, the mink. and we
