of the God-given graces of femininity.
"The mothers of today have task
before which angels and strong men
might quail. But, dear hearts, look
up, and hold to faith. IL you have
been able to save your girl from
bobbing her hair, or dyeing it to
henna. if you have prevailed in per-
suading her from the inclination she
has had to pluck her eyelashes and
paint her eye brows, we will trust to
see that she does not roll her stock
ings, and so betray the fact that
she possesses knees as well as
ankles.
Teach her, too, that extremes in
styles always tend toward the vulgar
and that in every day and age. it is
more becoming to sit with the ankles
crossed than the knees crossed. Then
none of the. ugly stories about nice
girls, can properly attach to her be-
havior. If together, we can help the
modern girl to find herself, to raise
her standard of morals and refinement
high. there will be no occasion to be
disturbed about women's dress con-
Eliminating the morals of her men as
sociates: instead, her morals will
correct the present laxity of dress, and
we shall have an ideal type of womanly
woman, searching the world for her
ideal of a manly man.
