MAIDS HOME BY ¢ My Dear Miss Gre and to be able to see ahead? you consider me luck re you lucky because you portals of the old maids’ home talk to. “The bill is still pending.” A Man Blames Woman's Apparel for Men’s Lax Morals Dear Miss Grey: As you invite let- ters of opinion on the subject of “Whether Women's Clothes Are Re- sponsible for Men's Lax Morals?” I submit my opinio: First, I want to state that I take the time to write this article for no other reason than that it will do geod and help solve the problem. Second, 1 request I might withhold my name, as I am to write from several years’ experience and from past. I find in discussion with my many men friends that it ts the same ‘with all of us. There are just three causes: irst—The Iack of the “great " and the strengthening of the part of our lives. Becond—Woman's dress. Third—Woman's lax morals. _ The third may surprise you, but it _ ty the fact nevertheless. To prove my point I confess to experience, as- Sociation with all kinds of girls for many years, from the preacher's daughter down to the chorus girl, they are all the same. Girls have changed in that respect more than men in the last ten years. ° ‘With the lax" morals in women and Woman's dress nowadays, men who wish to retain their self-respect and Femain the staunch protector of their “weaker sisters must wage constant battle with themselves. ‘When a girl with bare armas, exposed ebest, bare back and with bare leex and her stockings rolled down to her calf, sits in a low chair with-her legs crossed man-fashion, she has no idea the damage she does to men’s morals; but a lot of girls that maintain their Perfect respectability delight in this sort of thing. Yet, a gentleman cannot enter a dining room, parior or lobby of a ho- tel in his $16.50 silk shirt sleeves. For such a contrast and lack of de cency and common sense to exist in such an enlightened nation is unbe- Yes, yoman’s clothes are a con- stant appeal to our sex every day of our lives. . A MAN OF EXPERIENCE. A Mother Upholds Women tn Clothes Problem Dear Miss Grey: Women's clothes Fesponsible for men’s wrongdoing? Nonsense! The Texas police chiefs who put forth that time-worn fiction are several centuries late. Men have been “blaming the wom- en” for so long that they don’t seem to be able to strike a new note. One would think that police officials, of all men, would know better, but ap- Parently experience does them no The poor, weak male creatures have been excusing their own short- comings by “blaming the woman" ever since time began. they will be doing it when Gabriel's trumpet sounds. It has been a very convenient peg on which to hang male shortcomings. ‘The truth is that men, ‘ing held the upper hand, and “ruled the foost” for so many centuries, have » found it very convenient to insist that women shall be morally spotless (for the sake of the man’s children), but that men might have their own Moral code That day ts passing rapidly. Women are insisting, and will in future more and more insist, that Man shall take his full share of re- ponsibility. had If anything, women are inherently on a higher moral plane than men. If the responsibility for social wrong. | doing is to be placed on one sex or the other, it belongs on the shoulders of man rather than of woman. ‘E.—Decision of Thurston eofinty superior court, upholding con- stitutionality of minimum wa $18 per week for women hotel em. ployes, will be appealed to state su preme court, according to Harry *F.

Now would ELOISE. . The idea is an ancient and honorable superstition, as super- stitions go; but in this cruel, scientific, practical world that we are living in today, even ancient and honorable supersti- tions are having a hard time to survive. | To be born with a veil is supposed to mean that one so born is thereby endowed with prophetic and mystic powers and to} be able to see into the future. word “suppose” offers a big loophole for the 99 out of 100 times the old superstition give Now, as to your second question, altho I may as well say right now that it cannot be answered, | s us the merry ha ha, find yourself approaching the ? The opinions on the subject are so contradictory that no real estimate can be given.

The unfavorable reaction may take the form of hay fever, asthma, eo zema, urticaria @ivea), and other skin affections, acute and chronic digestive disturbances, and perhaps in certain forms of periodic head aches, various vague nervous dis due to some other known cause, Proteins are usually broken up by processes of digestion and their con stituent parts absorbed by the body. Particular parts or tissues of the body are usually predominantly sen sitive to a given protein in a given individual. For example, one per. son may develop asthma from wheat, while another individual may have eczema from the same cause The well-known fact that certain in dividuals have an attack of urticaria sifization. hereditary trait.
