Certainly one docs see a number
q tall women. in fact, many taller
than mere man, upon the sUbways,
on the avenue and even upon the
stage. Ana II is always the young
woman, the woman who has been to
school within the Last five or ten
years, who Is tallest. Hence Prof.
Henry c. Hathaway, Director of Ath-
leics at New York University. was
NslIed to give his opinion about the
female of the species,
Prof. Hathaway readily admitted
that women are becoming heavier set,
\ but he dad not agree with Trof.
mckenzie in regard to his statement
that women are getting taller.
THE athletic woman Is heavy-set
and boasts of good, broad shoulders"
said Prod. Hathaway. II have noticed
tliat the present-day girl has a much
heavier frame than the little girl Of,
say ten years back. But as to her
getting taller, I have a little theory
OF my own about that"
at ts?"
,~Just an impression which the
average woman is trying to create.
= In reality, her height in many cases Is
due to high heels and high hats, TO
cay nothIUgNof the way they pile their
hair in high fantastic knots,
After ALL" continued Prof. HathG
away, Outdoor exercise could not be
expected TO change a girl's height. at
least not TO any marked degree. But.
Of course, plenty OF exc else will
broaden her chest develop her hips
and the delicate spindle limb of which
her mother and Gunts were so proud
will naturally be much better de-
veloped-"
Prof. Hathaway also believes that
the women OF England are much
heavier and broader about the sho uld-
ers.
y while touring Europe Fast year,
said he, Il was under the impression
that the English woman Is much
heavier set than her American sister,
I-accounted for this on the ground
that she has led an outdoor, athletic
! life for longer time than the Ameri-
can girl.
IL also noticed" laughed the pro-
lessor, that 'vamps' are conspicu-
ously absent in England. The girls
over there have too much fun in the
wholesome air to doll up and parade
around in latest styles 4 tennis
racket or a golf stick is far more at
tractive to them than the latest style

Francis p. Wall, Assistant Director
OF Athletics of the same university,
also admits that the American girl il

she is also taller, considering heels an
everything.
''There. has been an increase OF
at least 500 per cent in the number
of women engaged in outdoor sports
within the last five years." said Mr.
Wall. This means heavier garls and
even taller ones. Long hikes, camp
