Despite all the fapdoodle and batterwhanging of

some OF the expressions at last being voiced

The fact that the subject is ordinarily taboo to the
pulpit, press and platform is due to "Mrs Grundy

call a leg LEG! Fie you, hyprocrite!
And so, while courageous expression has been sup
pressed, certain fends of hades have been spewing
surreptitious beauty hints" to the effect that the
willowy" figure is the of beauty And so deuded
females have been starving themselves running their
health and succeeding in looking like pimply callow
youths with weak spines and pald characters
But medical authorities at last speaking out

says, why girls want to look like weak and weedy
young men | cannot imagined But they will get that
