Mere Man

Dear Miss Grey. Perhaps you

men regarding the question OF I'M

dressing. which has been discussed
in your columns by the wives Of n
soldier and a sailor. / believe the
sailors wife g. w" hits the nail
directly on the head. when she says
that modest dressing on the streets
il ample protection from any un.
welcome attentions from the men.
Dress like a sport. and you VIII
receive the attentions OF one. Take
n look at the women. They viii
unconsciously fail into three classes:
Women with homes. working or
school girls. and 'chickens'-the
latter being only n polite name for
this class. There are a lot Of little
foolish half baked kids that think
they have 20 doll UP like n chicken
to receive any attention. II these
very foolish little girls could hear
the remarks of many men they
pass. they would never have any
further use for paint-their cheeks
would be red enough. 1t is some
times hard TO distinguish them from
the real thing.
IL would seem 20 mere man,
that the iow-necked dresses seen on
the street are the height OF folly.
and understand. | do not mean the
modest ones. but the really low
ones. They are not in keeping with
the surroundings and in cool
weather look silly. The same may
be said OF summer furs. They Ger
tainly are an idiouc fad. When
good taste does not jibe with fash
ion It certainly would seem that
good taste was TO be followed
rather than fashion.
