Even today in the midst of the
craze of modern women for thin
ness 1 am convinced that men are
no less influenced by the curves of "a
nicely turned figure than in the
past, writes Lady Drummond Hay,
in a signed article in January Smart
Set, predicting an early end to the
"straight-line" vogue.
"The modern craze for thinness is
war against nature. The standard
of beauty today is to be as thin as
possible. Aren't we all dreadfully
wrong?" Lady Hay asks.
Feminine charm and subtle
sweetness influence men. Thin wom-
en- never made history. No Straight
front ever threw the world off it's
axis. 1t has taken the fullness and
roundness'of plump women to shake
1t to it's foundations.
Eve Was Plump
Eve must have been plump, Of
course. She was Oriental and lived
In the luscious Garden Of Eden.
Tradition confirms that she was at
least well built The heroines of the
Bible whose seductive loneliness
stars the Old Testament, were none
other than typical Oriental beauties.
The Queen Of Sheba, Esther, the
painted Jezebel, could not have been
otherwise than voluptuously formed.
I'VE find in the Song Of Solomon
extremely detailed descriptions Of
feminine physical charms; Solomon
was a man Of considerable exper-
fence in such matters.
Madame Dubarry was a. plump
woman. So was the famous Madame
de Montespan. Women who stand
out in history were women who d.
rected the course of event by in
fluencing men through their ami
ability and charm, rather than
through masculine intellectually.
Venus. Too
venus, goddess OF love, IS I'M
doubtedly the plumpest goddess In
the mythical heavens. No one would
deny her devastating influence.
Cleopatra was VIGOROUSLY plump.
You only have to look at her mum
my case in the British Museum to
realize that If Mark Antony found
her fair at forty. he also found her
fat.
OLYMPIA, mother Of Alexander
the Great, was positively stout. as
was the great Queen of Tamyris Of
Cythia. Helen Of Troy was 'divinely
tall, divinely fair and doubtless d.
vinely plump as well. A whole ma
ton went to war over her for ten
years.
Catherine of Russia, a well

fashioned woman" captured the
heart of Peter the Great and he
made love to her in his own pecu-
liar fashion,
"Napoleon's Josephine provides a
warning to all thin women with
aspirations. Skinny, sullky, soured
and Napoleon got rid of her and
tried again. He took the more
literally lined Marie Louise Are we
to think that the Great Emperor
was a fool?
And Washington
George Washington chose as a
wife a lady rather below the mid
die size, but extremely well-shaped.'
Shakespeare chose Anne Hath

Of whom the great poet once play
fully said, anne Hath A Way Go
ing back further, history shows that
Arletta, mother of William the
Conqueror, was pleasantly plump
woman.
"One really great woman always
pictured as thin to the point of
ragginess was Queen. Elizabeth.
She was the Virgin Queen The
probable truth is that her unfor-
tunate, wasted looking figure was
due to a lifetime's vain search for
her ideal man."
Turning to the traditional prefer
ence for plumpness in the women
Of the Orient. the Smart set article
says, in part:
"Plumpness is the chief asset of
beauty in any eastern woman. The
full charm Of Scheherazade saved
her neck for one hundred times ten
nights"
