MISS MARY WiNSOR
On Dress Reform for Men

MEN are the ones who should have
AN1 dress reform rather than women. ac:
cording to Miss Mary Winsor, president OF
the Womens Economic Club.
''The moral gown designed for women
by Philadelphia clergy is a very simple, at
tractive frock," she said. But, above all
things. let the men stop regulating us and
than they are.
II would like to see a dress reform for
men along the lines Of beauty. They look
perfectly ridiculous nova blot on the
horizon. Why should they wear clothing
that displays their tto their minds hand
some figures, and hold up shocked hands be-
cause women's skirts are short enough 10
show the leg? Mark Twain said most men
would like to wtar fine fabrics of pink and
blue and gorgeous colors, but they were TOO
ridiculous? Why shouldn't they use colorS?
I am sure they could look much better than
they do now.
';As for the women--I would like to see
them more dressed in the ballroom and less
dressed for outdoor exercise. Why should
Annette Kellermann be allowed to display
her beautiful figure on the stage, in tlms
yand before the public, while convention de-
mands that other girls wear too many
clothes when they want to swim!
No Absolute Standard OF Modesty

much as it is where and when they wear
them. The japanese think it wrong to dis
play any portion of the body just for the
sake of display or to make themselves con .
spicuous Yet these same people think
nothing Of taking baths in public.

street when it was cold and raw, wearing
very low necks with only narrow pieces ct

I think that is immodest, for it was osten-

"How long have you done it,
Forty years and morc,' he replied.
"How do you like it,:
"To me it is more fun than anything
else. I would rather wrestle with statistics
on the tariff than go to the theatre. !
never go to baseball games nor play golf.

in work than in anything else for the
average man. II he did more work no

Infinitely diverse is the origin of the men
who come to the front in these United
States
There is Major General John A. Lejeune,
the commandant Of marines, for instance
srocky, swarthy, romantic type of fighting
man. He is product OF cotton plantation
in Pointe Coupee parish and is Louisiana
French.
His paternal ancestor and three brothers
migrated from the land of Lafayette TO
Canada, were coureurs des bois, pioneers
of the woods, and wandered ABOUT Tor years
In the Great Lake country. They struck
the Mississippi before anybody lived on it's
upper reaches, launched their canoes upon It
and rode into the unknown. Much to their
surprise they found, far down the stream,
settlements of other Frenchmen. The Le-
jeunes have lived in Louisiana ever since.
This fighting man emerged as a student
at the Naval Academy. He acquired all
that institution could give him and chose
| the marines in preference to the navy. He
has been running about the globe ever since
with soldiers Of the sea at his back.
In their self -indited biographies in the
| Congressional Record members write down
| strange variety of statements about them
| selves One man, for instance, tells the
| story Of his life in this one sentence:
Edwin s. Johnson. of Yankton, =. D.,
| Democrat born in Owen county, Indiana, a
