eGentlenen Really Prefer Oid-Fashioued
 Femia,ins Cnyyes,' A,sita Loos Discoyer

New York.-It's all q mistake lbout gent lem en preferring olondes! Anita Loos herself says so.
 The doll-size authoress of Gen .lemen Prefer Blondes" makes an important modification to that dog matic title in an interview by Der othy Holm published in the April issue of Smart Set margarine.
 She still holds it true that the male element will pick blondes for playmates and brunettes for wives. But that is only because the phys ical quality gentlemen really prefer is something rarely found nowadays good, old-fashioned, full-bloom- ing curves!
 "The fiat-chested, hipless figure that now passes for the form of a woman is anathema to the average man. A clothes rack intrigues him just as muchi" So asserts Miss Loos in 6 broadside that sweeps her whole modish sisterhood.
 The flat, thin modish figure sought by girls today is woman's own creation, she opines. Women seek slenderness to inspire the envy of other women and take no cognizance whatever of gentle mems preferences.
 Loses Charm with Curves
 "But there is more to the loss of feminine curves than physical ap- peal" according to Miss Loos. "When a woman changes her fig ure, she changes her disposition and her outlook on life. When sheI gives up her curves, she gives upI as we'll the feminine qualities gen tlemen love in women. When a man. thinks of woman he visualizes al feminine woman, soft of speech, restful in nature and deep in un- derstanding. His conception of

 The wise man of today takes one look at the straight-lined model of fashion and moves on in his search for femininity, her Smart Set arti.

Anita Loos
 cle says. "He knows he will find the angular, boyish girl hard, with none of the softness that belongs to women. He knows that she is restless, instead of soothing, and that she is under such nervous ten sion in her effort to be thin that she is unable to give him the com panionship he wants. I have never yet known a real man who was not bored to tears by a woman's recita; of her diet"
