Women are taller than they were
30 years ago and they are a good
many pounds heavier" So says DIT.
TAFT Mckenzie director Of physical
education az the University OF Penn
sylvania. DIR. Mckenzie has been
milling over a lot OF exact statistics
compiled from years and years OF
other peoples experience and he
ought 10 know
We all ought 70 know without
being told by any specialist.
Women are not only growing tall
er and heavier than their mothers
and grandmothers but they have
bigger feet and bigger hands and
bigger waists than women ever had
before, since shoes and gloves and
corsets came into fashion.
don't know a single girl who can
wear her mothers shoes-do you?
And as for her grandmother's-yo
just get little Miss Gwendolyn 70
try 10 slip on one Of her grand
mothers wedding slippers and see
If she can get even the tip Of her
toe into it.
Twenty years ago an average wo-
man wore a number three or three
and one-half shoe. Now the average
woman wears a number five shoe.
and no ones in the least astonished
to hear a stunning girl confess to
wearing a number six shoe.
Her grandmother would have gone
into a convent before she would
have made such an admission.

Winifred Black Writes About:
The Taller Woman
Woman

In the spring evening-so little and
wispish and sort OF frail. Not al all
ike the great. big, strong men we
used 10 read about In the old-fash-
toned romances.
Perhaps it's the clothes-the tight
coats and skimped trousers and
queer little hats and belted over
coats.
Mems tailors seem 10 try TO make
men look like professional dancers
with a girlish figure these days.
But anyhow. the men do not look
as big as they looked a generation
ago.
And the girls look not only as big
bat a 10y bigger than their moth
ers-and, as a matter OF fact, they
are bigger in every way.
I wonder If it's the tennis and the
swimming and the rowing and the
golf and the gymnasium.
Where's the girl wha can't walk
half a mile without getting the
bacKache?
What's happened TO the woman
who couldn't go out on the lake IN
a canoe for half an hour without
coming home with a sick headache p?
What's become of the girl who
had to have a room on the first floor
at the boarding school because she
couldn't go up and down stairs?
They're changing right before our
eyes-the boys and girls.
Consider Some Men.
I saw some pajamas for sale in a
mems shop the other day. and they
we're trimmed with ribbon, and no
body even smiled when l mention
ed II.
Mems nails are as we'll manicured
as women's these days-and If you
don't believe that men take facial
massage now and then TO get rid OF
wrinkles-ask the barber.
He can tell you a lot about glis-
tening hair and the things he puts
on his customers heads 10 make
them look like movie heroes.
What does it all mean, really?
Something very deep and hard to
understand - something connected
with evolution something that we
can only sense dimly in a vague sort
Of way?
Or is it just a passing freak OF n
passing mood Of Nature, that mos
feminine Of all things?
What do you think about 1t?

Bigger in Every Way.

Mothers waist measured IS or 20
inches. Daughters measures 30
inches and she doesn't care who

The average daughter today can
pick grandma up and carry her
downstairs as if she were a doll.

By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
right 1920. by The Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

The American Millions have the
satisfaction of believing that they
are collateral descendants Of John
Milton, the immortal author of
paradise Lost" At least such
may be their claim IL they are
descended from the Milton family
early established at Halifax. North
Carolina.
The tradition is that the ancestor
Of these Millions was Judge Christo-
pher Milton. a brother Of the poet.
A descendent OF his was John Mil
ton. who was born in England and
came to the United States in 1894,
settling in North Carolina
His son. John Milton. born in
Halifax county. North Carolina, in
1740. was secretary OF State OF
Georgia after the Revolution. and
received two votes from the Georgia
electors for first president OF the
United States. He married Hannah
Spencer and by her had a son,
Homer Virgil Milton. an officer in
the War OF 1912. He was known as
General Milton.
General Milton had a son John
Milton. born In 1907. who was Gov
ernor OF Florida. Governor Milton
had a son. William Henry Milton. a
distinguished jurist. and his son,
William Hall, born in 1884, was a
distinguished surveyor general
