a dictum. 1t is dogmatic. Always it
has been as strong as the law of
Moses. 1t is Fashions thunder re-
duced to wierd whisper.
When the dictators include short
skirts and sane, sensible legs in the
scope of their assumed, arrogant
authority it would be a courageous
thing for woman, emancipated woman
to assert her independence and pro-
claim herself free, free, now and for
ever.
If she doesn't stand firm, and en-

Home, Sweet Home-No Matter
Where We Roam.
Too many folks in the parlor. Not

a long way off from ''them happy
days" when the head of every house
hold was supposed to pay taxes or
rent on lone little spot of green call
ed home, and all the blue of heaven .
A Methodist minister of Chicago
says that "theJ one room and kitch-
enette" mode of living is disrupting
the peace of a nation. 1t is dealing
a fatal blow to the American home. -
Doubtless he is right, It is hard to
think of a kitchenette outfit as a
home. No considerate stork would
ever think of leaving a little pink
baby on kitchenette doorstep. And
is home really home if baby can
not abide there? Probably a can

is decreasing at about the same ratio
that the kitchenettes are increasing.

Legs, Sanity and Freedom
In the United States there are 210,-
100000 human legs. Of this number
1O1, 100000 belong to the female sex.
Again, probably of the 1O1,OOO,OOO,
one-fourth are owned personally by
short-skirted women and girls. The
idea of presenting these brazen fig
ures is to give mathematical dignity
to the simple fact that legs are as
common as hands and thumbs, COM
mon as feet and mighty toes.
Not more than a decade ago woman
was a bedraggled slave, a hObbled
street sweeper. Then came her eman-
clpation. Fashion set her free. But
with freedom came criticism. There
was some fear among the faint-heart-
ed that the world might become a
bald-headed row. Prudes saw evil
where there was no evil, and the
nasty-minded proceeded to carnalize
the beautiful.
But the bugaboo of immortality has
been upset. The idea that short skirts
would tickle the devil silly is dead in
the shell. ''Virtue is internal beauty,
and beauty external virtue"
DR.. Frank Crane, who is mentally
competent to take care of himself
says: 1.-The people most covered uI
are as a rule the least decent" He
cites the Turks, who conceal their
women in harems and cover then
faces with wells.
Exaggeration is the short skirts
