 himself on the settee in the hall and

IS THERE A WORD TO BE SAID
 FOR MODESTY


 FOR MODESTY?
 How about modesty Is it an outworn custom to be discussed and lamented only by old foSies? Is it an absurd notion kept alive Gas some one once suggested, by women too unattractive to find immodesty un- becoming)?
 Looking at things co1d-b1oodedly, I'm pretty sure that modesty is about as attractive and alluring as lot of silly folks think the elaborate self revelation of today is.
 Immodesty wouldn't be so bad if it were only shocking" Immodesty wouldn't do much harm if it offend ed only the prigs and prudes and Miss Nancy's of the world. What ever it did to ethics and morals, inn modesty might still have a chance to consider itself important-if it were not so lacking in all esthetic values You can't make immodesty pretty On a stage, with lighting and mass and color effcts thought out by an artist, scanty draperieS often have the f1eeting 1oveliness of an etching or painting.
