pulsive." Does he mean that the
invitation is shocking or the famili-
arity which they invite. If he means
the former, the answer is that in
nine cases out Of ten this so-called
Invitation" is an expression of the
frankness and unself- Inconsistencies
that characterize the relations be-
tween young men and women as
compared with fifty years ago, and
the Invitation" part of it lies
wholly in the mans ready mind.
The average girl is entirely uncon-
scious of any such invitation as
some men seem to find in their
manners.
If DR.. Hibben thinks the Sin
vited'' familiarity is shocking, what
does he think of the familiarity of
ten, twenty or hundred years ago?
Twenty years ago girls were quite
as willing to be kissed and Rugged
and "petted" as they are now, only
at that time they were possibly
more secretive about it.
He says there is danger of loss Of
the oldtime reverence for woman
hood" Quite true. The oldtime
reverence was based upon a miscon-
ception Of woman. She was neither
the helpless thing nor the innocent
prude that men thought her to be.
If he despairs of mans conception
Of womanhood, let DR.. Hibben read
the fourteenth and thirteenth CEN
fury writer's, and then thank Heaven
that man now accepts woman as a
comrade, as an equal, approaching
her for what she is, rather than
reverencing her for what she was
not.
He states that the oldtime laura
Of mystery was at once her defense
and her glory" AS a matter Of
fact, there is nothing quite SO sug-
gestive to the masculine mind as an
laura of mystery" And as for de-
tense = knowledge, the ability to
discuss the problems, is a far better
defense than either timidity or mere
modesty.

No Perfect Models
Asked whether any one model
ever represented the sum total OF
his artistic conception and ideal Of
Leauty, Mr.. Starlaws replied, "No."
That his "girls" all were composites
of several, even many, models.
"If one did find ones ideal, 1t
would at once cease to be an ideal,
wouldn't it," he asked.
After waiting a moment I ven
tured to intrude with my next ques-
ton, concerning Mr.. Stanlaws's
aims in the motion picture industry,
into which field he has but recently
entered. What at first seemed a
rather strange adventure on his part
was defined more clearly as he
talked about it. In spite of this
marvels so far accomplished, the mo-
ton pictures, not as an industry so
much as from the purely dramatic

their swaddling clothes. And it is
with this recognition that the serv-

Sir: 1t was my privilege to hear
DR.. Hibben's baccalaureate sermon
at Princeton that has caused such
decided reactions and to read the in
terview with him published in The
Tribune. There are certain state
ments in it that require refutation.
There is a certain element of irony
in the fact that never has the sight

themselves at mems heads" And,
again The mothers un-
dressed the girls ard drove them out
to sell their charms to the men,"
Those two lines will undoubtedly
have more evil effect upon the minds
of the young men and women who
read them than six months of ordi-
nary social experience.
DR.. Hibben charges that the rela-
tions between the sexes are lax
by implication, more lax than for
merly. How does he know?
This cannot be concluded simply
by watching couples dancing with
their heads together, or held closely
together-by the men-or by noting
that some women wear dresses that
are too low. Victorian mothers made
the same untrue charge when they
first beheld their daughters waltz

successive stages of their lives and
emotions, their manner Of dressing
and Of behaving through all tho
stress and complexity of the mani
fold conditions of modern life.
Girls of To-day
Mr.. Stanlaws feels that the real
American girl should be depicted
more freely and more faithfully in
the modern pictures. The Western
girl, and that not as she is to-day
but as she was thirty or forty years
ago, has been done to death. Let
the more representative girl take
her place. And dramatist as we'll

women are fundamental" he said.
"They are at the bottom Of all our
troubles to-day" Specifying on the
responsibility of women, he said:
'The modern dance is an orgy, and
the women expose themselves shame
lessly and invite familiarity that is
shocking and repulsive."
Replying to the question, Whose
fault is it," he said:
"The women's. They undress
themselves and throw themselves at
the mems heads" Still more spe-
ci6cally. at isn't the young women,
the girls. 1t is the mothers, the
older generation. They undressed
the girls and drove them out to sell
their charms to the men,"

their sex as their only means Of
support.
There is desperate situation at
hand I'll admit, but not the one that
DR.. Hibben pictures. The situation
that really threatens is that girls

wiseacres dictate what they should

more independent than they now are.

idea never gets into their silly, vain
little heads that all men are alike

Men like DR.. Hibben and John

they like to throw mud at young
people, but is there any obligation
on the part Of a newspaper to print
such maunderings?

way the superior Of the Victorian
woman, who, evidently, is DR.. Hib-
ben's ideal. 1t is unjust to charge
women with the Interior motives and
sex consciousness in dress, manners
and dance that he mentions. The
women Of the Victorian period who
dressed themselves as prudes to sat
isfyisfy the ideas of their queen
were quite as completely the slaves
of fashion as are women to-day.
The problem, so far as the OBJ
server and thinker is concerned, is
psychological. At each step for
ward toward more broad-minded,
more frank and truthful basis for
the relations between men and wom-
en-, there are always individuals who
see in the latest innovation or ad-
vancement a license for self -indul-
gence. They go to extremes, and
by them the academician is apt to
judge the development of human re-
lations, whereas he, above all, should
maintain the detached, philosophical
view which can explain to others
that the influence and example of
the extremists fade away, while the
vast bulk of humanity always pro-
ceeds with its orderly, inevitable de-
velopment.

1t is characteristic of men wheth-
er they be of intellectual mold or
the commoner types that they hes;-

behavior according to their own
point of view. If masculinity de-
cides woman's dress indecent the
decree goes forth to the world that

Of hundred such conclusion is
a base lie and an injustice founded
upon the preponderance in the mas

is pretty generally conceded to be
stronger in the male than in the
female. 1t is cowardiy of man to
try to blame its nearness to the
surface upon the designs of woman.
The fact that women intuitiveYy
love beauty and that those possess
ing it in varying degrees seek-quite
naturally to enhance it without any
deliberate sex motive evidently can
not be appreciated by the masculine
mind, which is befogged by the more
lurid glare of passion. All this re-
cent talk on the part Of the right

unintentional confession that it is

All our troubles come down to a
loosening Of the moral fiber of the
nation. That is the reason for the
general unrest. It is the cause of
strikes and the workman's failure
to give full work for full pay. 1t
is what makes the profteers. 1t is
what makes Bolshevists. And at the
bottom of it all is the loss of rever-
ence for womnhood. When that goes
everything else goes with it"
Both the sermon and the subse-
quent interview, perhaps the inter-
view more than the sermon, have
aroused a great deal Of discussion.
The views of some of The Tribune's
readers are presented here.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to the interview
in The Tribune with DR.. Hibben,
president of Princeton University,
on the subject of social laxity:
Every word DR.. Hibben uttered was
true. but I do not believe he gave
the true reason. He attributed the
existing state of things to the war,
but believe what is called the "New
Freedom" is responsible for it. Wom-
an has been taken from the home,
where she was a sort Of divinitv. and
thrust into business and politics,

where she has lost her "veil of mys-
terry" as DR.. Hibben puts it. We
see the result. But this is really
not surprising: 1t has been prophe-
sled. Perhaps the great Balzac
(who knew woman) put it best when
he said: "To emancipate woman
would be to enslave her."

R. JOHN GRIER HIBBEN,

this year, told the graduating
class Of Princeton that "in our social
relations we are weakly allowing
ourselves to be ruled by the Goddess
of Folly. There is danger of
lessening if not loss of the old
time reverence for womanhood.
There is no longer an aura of mys-
terry about the young woman Of to-
