The Modern Costume

The modern costume that half
reveals and half Couceals" is the
object OF much criticism, some Of
10 adverse and some Of 1t on the
lines Of argument that "tO the
pure all things are pure" To me
clothing is immOdest whenever il
is suggestive i'm a shamed- faced
way that seems to hint: here is
little glimpse OF ankle or rounded
arm-just a hint. for more would
be improper. Now, on the other
hand, consider the Greek tuuiC, "A
soft drapery Of Clinglng material,
that clothes the body in a little
cloud Of mystery but yet is all
revealing and so makes beauty
an absolute essential.
our bodies to-day are defective
because we know how easy IL is
TO hide defects. The auCients, on
the other hand, had 10 overcome
defects and make for beauty so
great that II could be unself-con

modesty. TO have the mind dwell

way Now let us enter upon the
study Of how to make the body so
beautiful in line and contour that
we may accept II az simply as we
do a beautiful lily or rose.
After a fairly exhaustive study
OF the subject, I am practically
convinced that nothing so surely
gives bodily beauty combined
