What Do You Call Modesty.
Dragging Is Useful.
The Turkish Ladies.
Women Began It.
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE
Copyright, 1s23.)

Copyright, 1920
Everybody has discussed the
question, "What is courage?" A
young woman suggests, with
all the talk about high skirts
and low necks, why not discuss
this question, what is mod
esty?'"
Interesting, delicate sugges-
ton. What is modesty?
Circumstances alter cases
with modesty as with other
things.
Havelock Ellis writes enthusi-
astic praise Of a female nurse
"who strips off all her clothing
and dives into the sea to save
drowning sailors"
He writes: "That woman be-
longs to my world. Now and
then I have come across the
like, sweet and feminine and
daring women, who have done
things as brave as that, and
even much braver, because
more completely difficult, and
always I feel my heart swing
ing like a censer before them,
going up in a perpetual fra
GRANGE of love and alteration.
81 dream Of a world in
which the spirits Of women are
flames stronger than fire, a
world in which modesty has
become courage and yet re-
mains modesty."
The Washington times., 1922-05-28

That is very pretty and en-
thusiastic, but many will ask
"Was the young lady modest?
Would it not have been more
lady-like to have permitted a
thousand sailors to drown
rather than set an immodest
example?"
The Persian lady who writes
from the seraglio to Montes-
quieu, tells how the harem
ladies went out to get the
air, accompanied by black
eunuchs. Each lady perched on
her camel not only had her face
covered. but was sealed up tight
IN a careful enclosure like a
modern biscuit package, that no
eye might look on her. Cross
ing a stream on q boat, a terri
BILE storm arose and death
seemed certain. 1t was taken
for granted. however, that no
lady would come out of her con-
cealment merely to avoid drown
ing. None did. On the same
jaunt two cohlmon men that
foolishly came too near the
ladies and perhaps peeked. al
though there was no proof Of
It, were instantly slain by the
cunuchs as a matter of course.
Was that modesty or plain fool
ishness 1?

You carry Caesar and his
fortune" said the great Roman
TO his boatman, frightened by
a storm. That was Dragging,
therefore immodest, but Caesar
was justified later.

Early in the last century a
traveller on horseback, bound
from Berlin to Constantinople,
passed through miles of bloom
ing roses. Turkish women were
picking the blossoms, to be made
into expensive "attar Of roses"
for the sultan and his court.
Many bushels of roses are need
ed for an ounce Of perfume.
These women Of Turkey wore
only a single garment from the
waist to the knees. nothing else.
They had been taught that a
woman showing her face, espe-
cially to a giaour, a Christian.
was horribly immodest. As the
Christian rode by, with his two
servants riding behind him. each
lady working in the rose field
raised her solitary garment and
hid her face. You wouldn't call
that modesty in America. But
Il was modesty there.
The Washington times., 1922-05-28

In men you are told that the
worst immodesty is Dragging.
But Dragging often is only
ambition gone wrong or lack
ing a job. You know the
story Of General Wolfe. He
wanted to be sent to Canada
against the French. His su-
perior told how Wolfe strutted
up and down waving his sword
and Dragging about what he
would do. 81 was tempted to
dismiss him." says the narrator.
But Wolfe went to Canada, and
a little later the braggart Of
London was climbing the
Heights of Abraham, took
Quebec and died. The i'm
modest Dragging was trans
formed into action and Wolfe's
victory transferred the owner
ship of Canada from France to
England.
