SHALL WE HAVE LEGISLATION THAT-.WILL RESTRICT WOMEN’S DRESS AND USE OF COSMETICS? BY CYNTHIA GREY The following letter from a man is very interesting to me, for I have oft pondered on these subjects: Shall we have @ law to compel women and girls to appear decently attired in public places, if they haven't sense enough and common modesty enough to do so of their own accord? Shall we also have a law limiting the number of ounces or pounds of make-up the woman of today may use on her physiognomy? Undoubtedly, if we had some such law, and it were strictly enforced, a great deal of the present-day crime and vice would be eliminated, Do not mistake me, fair readers—I do not meen to elim- inate powder and rouge entirely, btu that it must be used with | discretion. I believe that it is our right to use anything that will enhance our appearance; but there is a boundary line between the woman who appears well, and the one who ap- pears conspicuous. ss ‘ I shall be glad to print my readers’ opinions on this subject. The letter follows: Dear Miss Grey: Please allow me space in your columns for a few lines in answer to a letter that appeared in regard to girls going to movies alone without some man making ad- vances to them. Now, in the first place, there is no man who is a true gentleman, who has any respect for his wife, mother or sister, who would make advances to} a strange woman on the street HAT do YOU think? Write Cyn- or in public places, if she minds her own business. |] thia Gear, of ‘the Seattle Star. * Just keep ciose tad on such cases, and ning times out of tert you will| find that it is the woman or girl who makes the first advance by ogling her eyes, or with a smile. I know what I am talking about. as I am a man of 40 years of age, and have traveled this world round pretty well all over, and I pride my self in saying that I have my first time to ever make any advances to any woman without I had some rea- son for so doing. I can walk down the street any day in the week and) see s0 many young women with paint and powder all over their faces and @ressed simply to attract attention. that I often wonder why there are not more advances made than there are. The only reason I can think Of that there are not, Is beciuse many men have some modesty of their own. When I was a young man, grow ing up, and would happen to go to a show, and would happen to get a seat beside one of these be-perfumed and powdered females, I knew at once what it meant; but it is different nowadays, for the married women and girls who consider themselves strictly decent indulge in all of the things that the women of the other haven't any better senm, there ought to be @ law made to protect them, a law that would prevent them from going out and making an indecent ap- pearance on our public streets and in theates, unless they are escorted, at least. A READER Argument of Engaged Couple Dear Mine Grey: WII you kindly «ive your opinion of the following: Iy it proper for engaged people, who are not living in the same city, to accept and ask company from other young peor My intended and myself have had a friendly dixpute as to the above. Your answer will be watched with interest, JACK. There are no conventions for the engaged couple, as long as conduct is within the bounds of de- cency.
