new YORK zOO
MECCA FOR SPlNSTERS

New York, Sept "A Central park
policeman was reused from his rever-

from the direction of the ZOO
Help! Murder Police!" yelled the
voice
He thought that if anyone was really
being killed he ought to do something
about it. So he broke into gallop
and trailed the sound to the parrot de-
partment of the zoo. 1t was a big
South American macaw that was
screaming for help.
The bird had provocation. A little
wizened old woman had a death grio
on one of the macaw's long red tail
feathers and was trying to pull it out
"A fortune teller told me to do it,
explained the woman. "He said THAI
liz got tail feather from a live ma
cav and wore it in my new fall hat
I'D have a husband before Christmas.
And want husband, too"
The policeman gave her the address
of bird store, where she might be
able to find feather, and she left
happy, while the indignant macaw
preened his feathers and made re-
marks which cannot be reproduced

MASCULINE FIGURE MORE ARTS.

(Kansas City Starr

| (Kansas City Starr
Concerning the discussion of ST.;
skirts, diaphanous skirts or any othel
skirts that seem to occupy the minds
of some people rather Unfortunately
because, perhaps, they have too much
leisure on their hands, l would like
to say, consolingly that it is merely :
matter of getting used to them. Once
used to them, no one will notice them
particularly, writes a correspondent.
When the peekaboo waists first came
into vogue quite lot of people had a
good deal to say about this form of
indecency in dress, but nowadays who
pays any attention to them? In anc-
| lent Greco and Rome, when nude boG-
les were exhibited in the arena or else
where, no one was in the least affect
ed by the nudity, and contemporary
writer's do not even allude to it at all,
lit was such matter of absolute in
difference. The only thing that Great
ed comment was beauty and shapeli-
ness, ETC., qualities which were as un-
common then as they are now.
In this connection it deserves to be
noted that the ancients were univer-
sally convinced of the esthetic supe
riority OF the masculine figure ove!
the feminine, so much so that artists
when they modelled women's figures
invariably idealized them towards the
masculine type This fact is given
expression by many writer's, the first
among whom to mention it was the
famous Wincklban. But no one who
is not utterly blind need fail to see to-
day that the male figure is vastly
more beautiful and we'll proportional
in it's outlines than the female being,
the beauty of the female being confin-
ed mostly to the face and perhaps to
the contours of shoulders and arms
For the hief charm of the female fig
ure lies in it's being largely hidden
unveil it, and it only becomes appar-
ent how much more defective it le
than the male figure. For instance
the slit skirt and the daphanous skirt
without underskirt, would only ap
prise the male portion of mankind tina
most women are knock-kneed, and ;
full familiarity with this fact woulj
merely cause ridicule and finding in
difference. Any one who has had op
portunity to see a woman wear trous
ers must have been struck by the fac
that the female figure resembles tina
of the monkey much more than the
male in the species homo. This re
semblance becomes the more striking
in the case of negro Chinese and In
liam women, the white woman being
the furthest removed among wome.
, from the type of the ape. But tht
furthest removed of all from that type
is the white man.
