Americans say, that she is peach, Pip
pin! She is piquante. She is alluring. She
is more modest in her frank. self-confident
way than the rather silly young female
who held the center of the stage in the
reign of Victoria.
Indeed, then, why all the fuss about the
lpstick-about little feminine custom
which is not only decorative, but hygienic
and extraordinarily sensible? Who are the
old fogeys that rail and rant about this
rather delightful custom? I'm blessed IL |
can see reason in the abuse poured upon
these little bobbed heads and thrown
against these lovely incarnadined lips.
What on earth has pair of lips, nu-
ance or so redder than Nature made them'
to do with either the manners or the morals
of the modern miss? Not thing that l
can see.
The worst woman l know of in London,
beautiful creature, superbly gowned,
would perish, / fancy, before she could be
driven to touch up her lips or submit ner
hair to the shears of the hairdresser. NO
more modest creature lin the public eye'
ever lived than this woman, yet the Du
Barry was a child of angelic vision com
pared to her, if half the tales that are told
be true
Modesty is a grace of the soul, not an
advertisement of the dressmakers see
not the slightest reason why girl who
clips her tresses, vermilions her lips, wears
her skirts to the knee and powders her 1T
tie nose whenever she jolly well pleases
cannot be as pure at heart and as swectly
souled as Jeanne dare.
Personally consider lips artistically
tinted extremely attractive. If we're go

tolerated cared little about virtue, ayen In
their own wives.
In no time and in no land has this been
truer, this subconscious and automatic ad-
justment of female habit to masculine de-
sire-than in the France of the Middle
Ages and up to the Revolution. The La
vallieres, the Pompadours and the Du
Barrys of old France were responsive to
the instincts of a glittering but depraved
social order, and their outrageous eccen-
tricities and extravagances were not only
tolerated but applauded until mems minds
perceived the folly of the age and corrected
it with guillotine and sword.
Cites France as Example
Both Past and Present
And in modern France what is woman
to-day but the responsive creature of mans
whim, conducting herself in all classes as
man desires her to do dressing as he loves
to have her dress and startling and divert
ing the world Ito his entire pleasure and
proft) with those lovely and often eccen-
trio creations in dress and millinery?
I come now (the foregoing has been in
the way of preparation, temerarious prepa-
ration, I confess, because the topic is ex-
plosive, apt to go off in ones face) to con-
sideration of the modern girl, the ultra
modern girl the girl who bobs her hair
and shortens her skirt and uses lipstick
and carries her own cigarette case.
What of her?
Well. take my stand, alone as l am
