BY ELIZABETH CRAIG.

LONDON. March 19.-The rather un-
gallant suggestion by Ramsay Mac
donald. the defeated Socialist leader
IN the late British Parliamentary cleo
uon. that his humiliating defeat was

peen capped by another ex-M. p, even
more ungallant. He attributes the re-
SUIT OF tho woman's vote TO downright
snobbery! So now, naturally. the
public raises the question-Are Women
1t Ia a curious thing that stock
questions about women are usually
cast In such form as TO exclude any
philosophic Inquiry. No one would
suggest the query--"Are all men -"
this or that. Man is usually split up
into sub-orders; but women are In
Nariably Jumped together.
WOMEN NOT SO SNOHBISH
As THEY AXE INTUITIVE
So far as the snobbery charge is
concerned, perhaps the late honorable

1 think It is undoubtedly true that
before the war there was a certain
proportion of women snobs. But in
bell gerent countries, at least. the war
has reduced their ranks enormously.
Even snob cannot retain ignoble
Alterations when suffering. For suf-
fering linked TO snubbery would be
indeed Sro;esque.
CANNOT FEEL SSoBBED
WHILE FEEDING PIGS
Then again, the woman who during
the war has worked at the dreariest
nnd,t in many cases. the most un-
pleasant occupations, has had any
latent tendency TO snobbery squashed
out OF her. You can't feed pigs and
feel snobbish. 1t Is even doubtful IL

Combine Color Cure.

mcr war workers have started dress
making establishments in which a
special study is given to the effect the
various colors have on the nerves of
women. Thus blue. especially royal
blue Is advocated by a London dress
maker as mental stimulant and recup-
erative for war-tired or shell-shocke ed
nerves. Orange and warm reddish
browns are claimed to have restorative
powers and said to be colors which
can be looked at for the longest period
Of time without getting tired of them.
Soft somewhat Grayed moss green is
for mental sedative. This idea is said
to have been recognized by the French
military hospital authorities who had
the wards painted in such green shades
Violet shades are said to be another
stimulatus for nerves which begin to
dull.

A popular type of negligee intro
duced last spring that is enjoying a
renewed lease of life is the little
breakfast coat made Of crisp taffeta
and similar washable fabrics, if some
thing less expensive than silk is de-
sired.
These coats are all made pretty much
alike, with long, straigt jacket reach
ing to the hips or Whereabouts, to
which is attached skirt reaching
half way between ankles and knees.
Ruchings of self fabric frequently
finish the garment all around. and the
silk models are often trimmed in mar
row silk fringe.

Defends Academy Management

To.the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Why will Mr. Pennel break into
print? He is quite as out of place in print as
he thinks business men out of place on the
board of directors of the Academy Of the Fine
Arts shoemaker, stick to thy last" is quite
as applicable TO him as he thinks 1t Is to our
business men. America is in the ascendancy
today-maybe in art al=o-and Europe may
also follow our lead in having practical
minds to help the artistic in management Of
public art institution. Men of light and lead
ing influence and sagactiy are needed to run
a great corporation like our Academy. Our
Academy is well run. thanks TO the business
men. Business managed by artists has
always been slipshod and Bohemian. Artists
do not buy the other fellows pictures-nor do
they monopolze the artistic instincts The
greatest art critics never painted pictures,
nor the greatest composers sing their own
songs. -

Letters to the Editor on Topics
of General Interest
Agrees With Mr.. Pennell
To the Editor Of the Evening Public lie

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger
Sir-Mr. Pennel is quite right think in
his opinion that the selection of paintings
should be in the hands of artists.
Some years ago. as a sttdent at the
Academy of the Fine Arts, | remember Mr..
Chase. In one of his talks to the class, eS-
planned why the artist was the only man
who should be on the jury as art critic, Tor
the selections of paintings.
He told of the many technicalites con-
tanned In the science of the art of painting
which made or pointed to the masterpiece.
and which could only be understood by one
whose life-study had been devoted to H.
He then, to make his point clearer to those
OF us who had only begun the study referred
to Mr. Carnegie as a great steel producer
and asked IL the quality of steel was III
question would he ask the banker, the inter-
ary man. the business man or the man OF
culture to act as Judge?
Certainly not He would ask the man who
made steel
So in art. a jury for the selection of paint
ings should be of men who paint.
However, having had the privilege Tor
years of drinking milk and cream from the
dairy of one of the honored directors OF the
Academy of the Fine Arts | would like to
say for the comfort of all concerned that
there never was such milk, and of all the
cream in the world. 1t was the creme az
la creme"
The price accordingly, was most mpor-
tant, a thing of great consideration.
If this master mind can produce an an
nual exhibition of such quality and find sucn
prices for the painters art, surely th'
Academy is in the best of hands, and oul
resident friends of International fame. need
not have any fear for the future OF the
modern artist or his art II left in the hands
of this oldest academy of our country, IT
which the interest Is for art and art alone.
