Why Does She Dress mmodsstly?
TMinneanoliS NeWS1

What is the motive which causes
women, good women, women Who
would grieve deeply if accused OF I'M
modesty, to bedeck themselves in dress
which throws into bold prominence
their physical charms-styles of dress
which cause average men to gasp and
stare and sometimes make remarks
which they wouldn't like other men 10
make about their sisters, daughters or
wives?
VIVA, is the explanation of this
growing sex appeal?
Remembering that no man ever
thoroughly understood woman. We
asked these questions of Well in
formed elderly woman. Wife and
mother of married children. She said:
No, women, that is good women,
don't wear slit skirts and tight-tittins
waists. cut low, to allure men. You
men are conceited when you think
they do. Women wear those immodest
modes because they are the modes.
They wear them to please other wom-
ell and to escape the criticism which
other women pass on the woman
whose dress isn't up to the minute in
style AS for who makes the styles.
YOU men are responsible. When you
want modesty in dress to become
fashionable again just bring pressure
to bear on the merchants who hire
and steer the dress designers"
Now this explanation doesn't suit
us, for il ascribes to women lack OF
moral courage which we should be
sorry to believe is attributable to them.
When YOU think how bravely good
woman will face anguish inconceivable
to become a mother or to send hus-
band or son to post of danger in
crisis isn't it belittling her courage
TO assume that she would rather look
immodest than be considered out Of
fashion?
So we refuse to accept our experts
explanation and pass the questions on
to our readers.
What is your theory of present styles
of women's dress?
Also, Is it positive that these dresses
which some of US men call immodest
are really immodest? Is it possible
that the styles today are as modest as
any other styles-that the immodesty
is all in the way our male minds run?

Intensive Practical Training Planned
In Southern Minnesota.
Intensive practical education for the
farmer and rural betterment arc the
aims OF the Southern Minnesota Devel-
opment league, which covers thirty-ons
counties.
Startling census statistics published
soon after the federal count in 1910
were chiefly responsible for the organ
ixation. These showed that the popu-
lation OF these counties had decreased
from 1900 TO- 1910, the loss being almost
entirely in the rural districts. while
the cities generally showed an In
crease. To make the rural sections
more attractive and the farms more
productive was the manifest problem.
