Modern Womans Witchery Because Too Bold Is Transient
By WINNIE Lee.

A man accepts the blushing OF a
woman as the greatest OF compli-
ments 10 himself
II Is not always the truth. however
for a blush may indicate bashfulness
or resentment, timidity or temper
Just as well as admiration and love
But mans egotism blinds him to
all but the complimentary symptoms
And. since blushing is such a genuine
attraction TO masculinity, 1t seems un-
fortunate that il should have passed
so completely out OF style.
The old.fashioned flower garden is
the latest OF popular reyivals. and IL
Is pity that some OF the old-fash-
toned feminine charms cannot be cul-
tivated as easily as blue foXgloye and
pale tea roses.
Blushing. 10 be sure, is very hard
to affect. But there is many another
old-time fascination which is Well
worth revivifying.
There's kindness, for instance.
There's sympathy, also. Since
trained nurses now care for man In
his pain and anguish. many woman
has lost her best chance OF being
dreamed about as "a mnistering
angel. thon!'
The oldfashioned charms did not
consist of dimpling smiles, tossing
curls, pouting. and reserve which
was always fine, even when its trend
was toward prudery.
The old-fashioned charms are most
OF them, like blushing, not easily eX-
planned That is exactly why they
surpass modern charms which are
much too obvious Even physical
charms are forced, today, upon man
observation. Transparent blouses
worn over pink silk slips excite, but
impose upon the imagination. The
clutch OF the tango is poor substi,
tute for the delicately implied EN-
brace OF the old waltz.
Modern witchery is over-emphasized
and over-advertised
And therefore is ii so lamentably
transient
Old-fashi6ned charms kept old,fash-
toned lovers guessing
And the old-fashioned husband was
left to get acquainted with woman's
'qnost winning ways after she was a
wife. Consequently very small fig
ures cover the divorce statistics Of
other days.
But 20 men Of every generation re-
mains the lasting charm OF the blush.
Whether bushing means anger or in
terest IL is sincere. Its honesty gives
IL its power
And here is the secret Of all real
charm for every woman; it may be
put as a riddle.
In his attitude toward woman. what
does man lack most but admire most?.
Sincerity!

words that have not been desecrated

year until the last century thousands
of feminine geniuses have been fed
to the Minotaur of Marriage. They
think that, confronted by the choice
of child or a career, the mother in
stinct has always prompted the wo-
man artist to choose the child, and so
the creative genius of femininity has
been sacrificed to the~continuance of
the race.
Then there are the violent anti
femininists who would confine wo-
men entirely to the duties of mother
hood and who assert that rearing of
children is about the only art in
which man has not practically a mo-
nopoly Of talent
There are still others who think it
is perfectly possible for a woman to
be great artist and a mother at the
same time.

these. You know her better as

WIKI TX ENPEAlNS CIVIL WAX
CHANCES IN COLORADO
John Reed, magazine writer, who
left Villas army in Mexico to join
Don MacGregor's army on the Hog
back" near Walsenburg, Col, was
at Hull House yesterday with Judge
Lindsey and the Ludlow tent colony
women.
Reed explained why the whole
state of Colorado may be touched of
into civil war any day now:
Both militia and strikers are sup
posed to give up their guns. The
only men permitted to carry arms are
the federal troops. That is the pre-
sumption. And it is only presump-
ton.
Both sides have undoubtedly hid
den guns where they can get them at
few hours notice.
1.-THE miners don't like the ar
engagements under which the federal
troops operate. The federals have
promised protection to all scabs who
worked in the mines before the Lud-
low outbreak.
1.-THE federal officers have orders to
allow no stTikebreakers to be import
ed. But any man who will swear that
he was employed in the mines pre-
vious to the Ludlow massacre can
go to work.
This is a bad arrangement. 1t
gives the mine owners a chance to
keep their mines partially running
and from day to day adding new
strikebreakers.
"This point will be specially called
to President Wilson's attention by the
party going to see him in behalf of
CoIoTado."\
