there Is nothing impure In the nude.
II there is no bad suggestion | think
objections to nude are are too narrow
and old fashioned to merit considcra-
ton"
Having painted the nude myself
during my years Of study abroad, /
would be the last TO object to It,"
laughed Mrs. Harlan Ward Cooley,
president OF the Chicago Woman's
club. "Ribald or suggestive pictures,
Of course, do not approve, but that
the mere fact that the subject is
nude should bar an art work from
public display Is too ridiculous for
words"
But COrsetS Ads
II do not object to nude art-If It's
art" said Mrs. Edward Lyman Lobdell.
The use of the nude. or seml-nude
in advertising | do object to. Corset
and underwear advertisements are de-
moralizlng. They cannot escape be-
ing vulgar, A nude art work, sincere
ly and innocently done, however,
couldn't meet with objection from any
person of sound, broad intelligence"
