NEW Exploring can hardly be called a popular occupation for women-but l would not give it up for all the pink teas in the United king dom." Thus speaks Harriet Chalmers Adams, accorded to be the first Amer iean woman to be made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical society of England honorary member of the Society of Arts of Cadiz and lecturer extraor- dinaire.
 Women do not usually listen to the lure of little voices which take men to the outlands and the strange un- known places. But Mrs Adams, who like her husband. Franklin Adams editor of the bulletin of the Pan Amer iean Union, is a Californian, listened. From the beginning of her literary life Mrs. Adams has been particularly in terested in Spain and it's customs-here was romance, she felt, that romance which pervades every place where ths descendants of Castile dwell-and fi- nally it got into her blood and she took up the long trail.

RATE SKIRT is A FEATURE
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE

Every woman does not heartily in
dorse the fashion of fastening or
stitching a separate skirt to a straight
slip OF a corset cover, which can go to
the tub every few days.
This idea is practical and one would
think II would be accepted in a whole
sale manner. but there are women who
are still proud of the slightness OF
their waist measurement and others
who are more comfortable in tight
belt and the blouse that goes under IT.
1t Is merely a question of choice. or
possibly Of fashion. The woman with
a small waist can do what she pleRses;
the woman with thick waist must
bring all her ingenuity. artistry and
constant concentration upon this line
of the figure.
If 1t were not for this development
in the American figure. or rather In
makers would have small chance OF
filling in their days.
Slim women. those with young sup
pie figures. are unconscious OF their
corsets. and they give slight atten-
tion to their purchase. They do not
boast of their superior hgures. Ihey
accept them as matter of course.
Yet they are the envied Of all the
women In the world.
Peerless pearls. precious peltrieS. DO
not give a woman the satisfaction
that they should when she contrasts
her heaviness with the slight supple
ness of the woman who does not need
TO pay attention to her waistline and
can eat what she pleases and Is often
as lazy as cat on warm hearth.
The high-priced dressmakers de-
light in the fact that the Anglo
Saxon figure is often thick at the
waistline and heavy on the shoulders.
c ha q
cutting and fitting. say they. High
priced shops would close and spe-
cialtsts would go out OF business TO
seek other occupations If the Ameri-
can women, in mass. possessed the
small waist, the fiat hips and the slim
shoulders of the French women.
True. the French woman is apt to
get fatter than the Anglo-Sa as
she gets older. but she rarely gets
heavy in a muscular way, as does the
American.
One could write volumes on the sub
ject of corsets in America. which are
made to offset this peculiar defect OF
the American woman, a defect which
is a virtue from the structural point
of view as the sculptor sees 1t, but
the trouble is that civilized clothes
and classic figures do not meet in
harmony.
The effort of the last age has been
to eliminate the waistline, but 1t is
fact that it has not yet been well and
consistently done. The best move
ment toward it is the straight blouse
with the skirt fastened to it and the
girdle at the hipline; yet not every
woman of mature age and heavy build
can adopt this severe simplicity.
There must be slenderness of hips
and bust. if not of waistline. So the
trouble goes round and round in a
miserable circle.
Separate Skirt With Belt.
Despite the struggle against the
W stline there are thousands of
women, as the shops will testify, who
do not object to the separate skirt
