Magazine Sex Stories.

Few magazines have had the temer.
ity to express themselves openly on
the question of sex stories The Smart
Set, however, has made an interest
ing statement in their May number.
They say that in view of the present
general awakening in America to
clean and frank discussion of sex SUB
jects, that they intend to publish sex
stories-and 1t is intimated, many OF
them. But they qualify this announce
ment by the following statement:
We believe that the only warrant
for publishing stories of sex is that
they be clean and true to life. A per-
nicious form of sex-story has grown
up in some of the cheaper magazines,
stemming from the salacious double
entente of certain class of French
fiction. These stories have evolved
into a most indecent and despicable
literary type, viz: the story which
fiirts specifically with sex, skimmina
over the thin ice of suggestiveness and
ending with an obviously false moral
as means of excusing the storya
indecency. Although chemically pure,
such stories represent the worst form
of hypocrisy. If sex-story is worth
telling, it should present the facts
truthfully and employ the language
which the telling demands. Sex in
itself is not indecent. 1t is the in.

Despite the early hour, however,
quite a crowd had gathered to greet
the coming chief executive. This is
the first time in history that presi

Pass Christian, and the town was

For nearly an hour there was not a
stir in the residential portion of the
private car. 1t was nearly eight O'Clock
before President Wilson, Mrs. Wilson
Miss Eleanor Wilson and Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones emerged from the
car.
AS they did so they found the big
