"Men not led astray by bare legs or freak
dresses" says Delysia. "They are led astray by
eyes Men are not intoxicated by frank parade
of charms They may be amused even edited.
But when a little grille who conceas everything
and seems just a little shy turns pair Of melt
ing blue eyes upon them-they fall like wheat
before IA scythe. These London pastors can gain
nothing by censoring bare legs. If they really
want to curb the vamp, let them hide every pair
of eyes in London"
Mile. Delysas position Is upheld by Or. Sam
uel A. Tannenbaum, the New York psychologist
and editor Of the international journal, Psyche
and Eros" He, too, says that the eyes are the
outlets of the soul and the personality.
DR.. Tannenbaum says:
Expressive eyes, eyes that have way OF
looking into a mans eyes, may be said to be far
more dangerous in the power they exercise than
the most fetching fashions denounced as immoral.
"For example, take two women dressed eX-
actly alike, in clothes and makeup designed for
one purpose, to win husband it is ten chances
TO one that the woman with the most fascinating
eyes will be the victor.
Consider the foremost vampires Of history.
The women who won and held the love Of con-
ouerors, statesmen and poets, and who welded
great power in the building of empires, were. as
a rule, women with wonderfully expressive eyes.
Such a woman was not necessarily cultivated
or an educated woman.
"The clergymen are certainly right when they
say however, that woman dresses in the hope
of Turing a man, though | believe many people,
men and women, overestimate the power o: mere
dress the mind of man.
"A highly respectable woman, one with high
sense Of honor and sef-respect, adopts extreme
fashions to allure. She simply takes a leaf from
the demi-mondane's book. But she makes mis-
take If she does not cultivate the enkindling eye.
This says more than the cut of her bodice"
There is at least man in New York who
will testify as to the devastating effect Of eyes.
This man is Jay J. Livingston, a prominent ac-
countant.
One day he invited Miss Laura Jaker, come
ly friend, to take a ride in his automobile She
accepted. They were spinning along Riverside
Drive. Mr.. Livingston very much enchanted
with the aspect of things and Miss Jaker didn't
appear to be particularly displeased. Then, Of
sudden, the automobile crashed into a tree.
According to Miss Jakers story she was bad
ly mauled and cut up. So she brought suit
against Mr. Livingston and asked damages for
her injuries.
(Which way was Mr.. Livingston looking just
before the crash" the Judge asked Miss Jaker,
when the suit to trial.
"He was looking right into my eyes" was the

Name for PHILADELPHIA Fair

To the Editor Of the Evcnin0 Public Ledger!
Sir-Let me suggest n title for the
Philadelphia fair of 1926. The eagle is
our national emblem. On the backs of
our gold coins, the silver dollars, the
half dollars and the quarters we see
an eagle with outspread wings. On
the great seal of the United States
and in many places which are exponents
of our nations authority we see the
same emblem, which represents free
dom, living, as does the eagle, on the
ton of lofty mountains, amid the soli-
tarv grandeur of nature. He has un-
limited freedom, whether with strong
pinions he sweeps into the valleys below
or upward into the boundless spaces
beyond 1t is said the eagle was used
as national emblem because at one
of the first battles of the Revolution
(Which occurred in the early morning)
the noise of the struggle awoke the
flew from their nests and Circled about
over the heads of the fighting men. the
eagles all the while giving vent TO their
rauCOus cries.
They are shrieking for freedom, "
said the patriots. Thus the eagle. full
of the boundess spirit of freedom, lv-
ing above the valleys, strong and power
fui in his might, has become the ma :
tional emblem of country that offers
freedom in word and thought and an
opportunity for a full and free expan-
sion into the boundless spaces of the
future.
Dear editor, why not call it"Philadel- :

Emblem Exposition?
