We Agree That Modesty in Dress
and Actions Is Slowly Returning.
Miss Modesty' is the coming fad,
1 guess" remarked Corinne Caryl.
"You see, as a professional 'vamp'
must keep posted"
"Corinne is going to buy new
wardrobe in New York." explained
Midget.
"Yes, and it will have to be very
different from the clothes I've been
acting in," agreed Corinne. Gust
consider two of New York's recent
musical successes, 'Ruddigore' and
Irene Not a shocking costume in
either of them! Irene was taken
to London where it is meeting with
extraordinary success"
"The ingenue who carelessly neg
lects to surround herself with suffi-
cient drapery has had her day, it
seems t ome," meditated the Midget.
Society women have made
the strictest rules for young girls, -
remarked Chrys who had Joined US.
"But they're awfully inconsistent
The grande dames-at a social func-
tion-are often sights. You know
they are, Jane. You often see
dowagers painted and powdered and
curled to the final degree of artifce.
No backs at all to their bodices, my
dear. And only trail of embroid-
cred gauze dragging below their ex-
tremely short skirts. Grotesque,
isn't it? A lot worse than anything
ever done in the movies! And then
behold their granddaughters-ar-
rayed as modestly as if they were
to be presented to the Queen of Eng

"By the way, the king and queen
court since the war;" | said. Sand
the queen has made some stringent
new rules about the attire of women
who are presented at court. She is
leading a revolt against extravagant
fashions, it seems. And against i'm
modest clothes"
"The girls lately presented to her
were all dressed as simply, as Mid
get is going to look in her little or
CANDY, this noon," Corinne laughed
did you ever stop to think that
the girl who has made the most
money in American movies has new
er been seen in an immodest cos
tune? ventured Midget.
''That is true" Chrys agreed.
"And l guess her influence in the
fashions of the time is about as gre It
as that of any reigning queen"
"Both Marys taboo extravagant
compilations" laughed Midget.
"Ex-members of the A. E. F. have
the best name for cosmetics" said
Chrys. "'War paint!' 1t implies a
good deal, doesn't it,"
"Rouge is like cigarets for women,
we'll enough for the companion of
an hour, but quite out of the ques-
ton for the girl man marries,"
said Corinne, the famous vampire.
81 think it is the sense of this
meeting that a reaction toward more
refined dress for women is already
setting in," said Chrys rising to her
feet. "And 1 would like to say, be
