MAN BETTER DRESSED
THAN WOMAN, SHE SAYS
Lecturer Finds They Use Better
Taste; More Modest.

Kansas City, May 1.-"Men are bet
ter dressed than women" Miss Eve
lyn Hansen in a talk on Color" at
the Country Club challenged her
audience of women with this state
ment and then she proceeded to prove
it.
Men, she said, dress quietly. as
a rule, in dark or dull clothes. ASK
one so dressed how he happens to
be wearing a bright necktie and you
probably will hear his wife bought
il for him"
Miss Hansen made several chal!eng-
ing remarks. THE most vulgar thing
vet invented for women's wear is lace
hosiery" she announced and the
smartly dressed audience applauded
her more vigorously than at any
other point in her lecture.
Almost as bad as lace on the ankle
was, in her opinion, the cock, or up
ward pointing arrow. Both commit
ted the deadly sin of calling attention
to the ankle
"A great many American women
are afflicted with a disease" said Miss
Hansen. Its a disease, | call decor

play counters for jewelry. Even the
simple pearl or imitation pearl can

and If the teeth of the wearer OF a
pearl necklace are not pearly white
and pearl perfect, the result is fatal.
The imperfect teeth are advertised.
This hanging of beads about the
neck and bracelets about the wrists
and arms and sticking brooches on
the front of the gown become a
mania with many"

DON'T WHISPER

When you have something to say,
decide on your plan and then yell.
The story is told of man who
had message for everyone in an
auditorium. He wanted to tell the peo-
pie about his attractive proposition.
He went to the man at the door
and said: How much will you charge
me to Whisper"
II will charge you SIS to whisper"
said the doorman.
How much will you charge me to

The man decided he would take five
whispers, and did, of course, get no
results.

WOMEN GROW TALLER

American young women average
more than an inch taller than women
of the same age 30 years ago. This
is discovered by DR.. Celia Duel Mosh-
err, medicinal adviser at Leland STAN
ford University, who has checked up
the measurements of girl students for
three decades back.
Women also are getting heavier,
says DR.. Mosher. She attributes the
change in femme physique to more
sensible clothing and exercise, par
ticularly participation in sports.
London scientists say that English
women in the last half century in
creased their height an average of 3
inches, and that their shoulders have
begun to broaden.
On the other hand, say the scien-
lists, English men of the next few
generations will decline in stature as
a result of heavy war losses among
the best physical types.
Our whole mode of life is chang
ing so radically that the human be-
ing of 100 years hence may be start
ingly different. Nature is economical
She never carries spare tires. She
gives us what we need-and, when
it is no longer needed, takes it away.

that not only she but many other
women could not be depended upon

innate share of responsibility? AS |

The wearing of jewels as a mere
sign of wealth was, in the opinion of
Miss Hansen, little better than the
lace stocking and the clock that is
on the ankle instead of the mantel.
Does the pearl bead really beautify

it. But remember that only rarely
does a woman have the soft, creamy
skin that sets off pearls, and even if
she has this, she may have the bad
teeth that make them among the for
hidden fruit of the jewelry counter"

leen Parlow at the armory on
March fourth, the second artist in
the series of concerts 70 be given
in Salem this season. Miss Kath
leen Parlow has the distinction of
being the greatest living woman
violinist
Miss Parlow was born in Call
gary, Alberta, in 1890, but much
of her childhood was passed in
California, her first instruction
being received in San Francisco
where she made a public appear
ance when six years old. In 1905
she went to London, and in No
vember of that year played with
the London symphony orchestra.
Each of Miss Parlow's appearance
es in America since her new York
debut in 1910, has deepened the
belief that she is without a rival
among woman violinists of the day
In all the large music centers such
as New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and Washington she has won
repeated triumphs while her Ca
madam tours have done much to
endear her to music lovers of that
section. She has appeared with all
tine important symphony orches-
tras of the country, one notable
enga cement being for sixteen APP
pearances with the Boston SYM
phony orchestra on tour during
the season of 1911-12.
