Mrs Robert T. Burdette. delegate
from California to the thirteenth bi-
ennial of the federation Of Women's
Clubs, declared that present-day
fashions of women are corruptlng the
morals of young men. Our skirts
are so short and our necks are 80
bare. Mrs. Burdette intimated, that
young men could not fail to have
their perfect morals impaired by a
glimpse of us.
There is much to be said for Mrs.
Burdette's point Of view, as she said
It, There is also much to be said
and seen-on the other side of the
question. And though it likely that
Miss Maria Thompson Daviess would
say it.

public swallow fat heroine and ask

Women's Styles Show
Feminine Charms, She Says

to a transparent sleeve, though
must admit that I thought that young
mans yarn a little more transparent
than any sleeve have ever beheld. "
Miss Daviess's vivid blue eyes
twlnkled assent.
Men squads" Won't Shock.
"a clean-minded young man who
in boyhood has watched his mothers
strong, serviceable arms and legs as
she went short-skirted about her
household work, who has seen her
wash dishes and sweep; young man
with sisters; a young man who had
gone in bathing or played tennis with
girl friends, knows something about
the way women are built and is not
going to be unduly alarmed, shocked,
demoralized or anything else by the
sight of half-picked SQUAD on
Broadway.
Last winter was at the theater
with a young brother of my acquain-
lance In New York. A girl sat in
front of us who had almost nothing
on; Just sort of pink tulle. A door
was open and there was a draft Of
air.
Some of us are going to catch
cold, l said, and then, What do men
think of the way women are dress
ing, anyhow This young mana
typical New Yorker-replied: AT
first think men were shocked by it.
But it's so much more beautiful than
the way women have dressed before
that l, for one, am willing to stand
for few freaks just to see the love
ly women.
Clothed in Her Spirit.
woman is really clothed in her
spirit" Miss Davless continued
thoughtfully. 'If she is a nice,
clean-minded woman, she's going to
show 1t even if the gown she Is wear
ing appears immodest, and an i'm
modest woman, on the contrary,
would look suggestive in a hoop skirt
and an old-fashioned dolman.
Women should consider three
things in choosing their clothes, l
think-beauty, convenience and cost.
insist that the woman must be beau
tiful, and If she is not well made and
attractive she violates the first prtn-
ciple by the revelation Of clothes.
Clothes must be comfortable or
they can't be worked in-and the
fine women Of today want to work,
to serve in some way. And women
must consider cost as well.
Beauty is Her Gospel.
"They must not ruin themselves
or their men by extravaganza. But
l can't say too strongly nor too many
times how much l believe in the gos-
pei Of beauty. Why, would not be
a sufrragist II thought it would
make women any less beautiful"
Miss Daviess is honorary president
of the suffrage association of her ma
tive state, Tennessee, SO she could not
have expressed her feeling more for
chilly in any other way.
Ibid you know think men could
learn a great deal from women in the
matter Of intelligent dressing" she
continued. Gould anything be more
stupid than to go about in warm
wooden padded coats in summer time
and those atrocious stir linen col
lars? Why do they do lit"

that the census reports did Clarks'
burg a great injustice. THE people

"have the opinion that Clarksburg is
a small country town. This is due
largely to the fact that the census

population Of 5000 when Clarksburl

praised its wonderful growth.
He urged all citizens to give theiI

teaches, is brought out by the camera
in form so gripping as to make it
get at the very heart-strings of the
spectator.
Richard Bennett and his co-work-
ers, whose far-sight and bravery first
brought the story of the ravages of
sin to general American attention,
posed for this wonderful film and to
their exceptionally clever work is ad-
ded the wizardry of modern camera
effects. 1t might justly carry this
motto beneath its title, "The story
without a forget"
Damaged Goods" is not problem
play catering to the morbid, but a
genuine tragedy. AS such it surely
is entitled to take its place in the
film literature of the day"
For the making of this picture a re-
markable array of extraordinary facil-
tites were necessary, among them ar
rangements had to be made to take
large number Of scenes in real hos
pital Elaborate settings for the film
ing of the many and costly interiors
were required.
In the scenes which portray the
"hero"-if he can be called hero
as the victim of quack doctors there
is vivid expose of the methods OF
the medical swindlers and a powerful
argument for the ethical physician.
The picture abounds in human
touches, and here and there in spite
of the dire tragedy of the plot there
are touches of humor.
