What He Thinks Of Dress

Dear Cynthia--So far as It may pro-
mote the health and comfort of women,
there can do no reasonable objection to
the modern reduct!on-raising, lowering,
thinning out and taking in--of women's
garments. Most of us though will agree
that the lessening tendency has gone
away beyond that, and that probably the
majority of women could be less trans
parently and altogether more modestly
clothed and at the same time be no less
healthy or comfortable. What, then, is
the incentive to exposure, sometimes
shameless and shameful. paradoxical as
that may sound? The reason. needless
TO state, is that the dear girls, young
and old alike. think that they are better
to look at. We are free TO admit that
there are few. particularly Of the male
sex, who do not delight in beholding a
health, the most beautiful. say we, of
all Gods creatures. For her to unduly
conceal her charms would be unnatural
and a tendency on her part to not too
greatly obstruct the eyeslght may be
condoned.
But, and this is the juice of the lemon
nine and one-half out of ten women are
not good to look at in their scant cut.
! out costumes The treat which they are

of convulsively funny comedy He
glanced at me, but ] kept my eyes on the
screen, smil ng at each funny antic as
others in the house we're doing. Suddenly
at something extra funny he leaned for

nothing until he had done this twice, and
then / leaned forward and made as IL
to speak sharply, putting my hand on
the seat in front and glaring at him
full in the face for all / was worth, so
that there was no mistaking my mean
ing. WELL he started and suddenly got
up and left.
Now, Cynthia. think many times the
men start things, but II is UP to the girls

even II you are using your old ones,
there are ways of making them more
attractive and adding a fresh note to
them One of these Is to crochet small
clusters Of wool flowers In soft shades
and place them at intervals along the
side and bottom of each of your cur

Of wool for these. They are easily made,
being simply n small round shape, but
