. OVER-CLOTHED FEMALE OF 17TH CENTURY DIDN'T STABILIZE | MORALS OF MEN | BY CYNTHIA GREY | Do our modern women demoralize menfolk by their mode Of dress, or “undress,” as some peeved males have dubbed it? Was the moral standard higher when women wore a sur- adel clothing?. One reader has dug down into history and ris it she?—comes forth saying, “Nay, nay.” The ver- dict follows: Dear Miss Grey: I feel so sorry for the poor men who wrote that they were being demoralized by the modern Woman's mode of dress ; but I feel sorrier for the poor women who must associate with them. | I'm afraid it’s a case of the “proverbial” rotten egg. To me there is nothing more beautiful than a physically pe®fect | child or woman. Artists choose them to symbolize innocence, purity, etc., and the elite of the world gaze upon them and » are not “demoralized.” , Let me quote a few lines from Ernest Thompson Seton's article, “Why Wear Clothes?” i na recent issue of a popular epenne: rs, most clothed nation in Europe today is the Turkish. | thing but the hands and faces of men, and nothing but the s of the women in Turkey are to be seen by the public, and we know that of all Europe, the Turk is most given to sensu-| y ality, and has the lowest standard of morals.” In our own race, history sheds even more certain light. ancestors wore most clothes during the 17th century,) when both men and women hid every vestige of their forms | in monstrous built-up shapes and frills, and what were their| _ Moral standards? The pictures we have of the Bourbon court ' in France and the Stuart court in England show morals at the zero point.” The men of today must learn self-restraint. Why should they have their morals forever buoyed up by the opposite sex? They have minds and will-power, as well as what they eed to call the “weaker sex,” so why should women 4 fice health and beauty and comfort to bundle themselves up in extra clothing which does not the least bit of good to the immoral and can’t hurt a moral man anyway? Hoping these weaklings will learn that their putrefaction is coming from within and not from without, and that will turn their minds to some wholesome work which will | cure their immorality and give them the respect for the mothers of the nation that they should have, I am ‘ AN INTERESTED READER. ! _ ‘Women Wear What | Wish Them To | WHAT, a You Dear Miss Grey: Are women's think?

The book of “Linger Longer Let- ity” is by Anne Nichols, who has written a number of successful farces; the lyrica are by Berpard Growsman and the music is the work of Alfred Goodman. All that Mr. Morosco insisted upon Was that this show should be upto theminute as regards comedy, songs and dances. The verdict was that his orders had been carried out to the lart letter, all Miss Greenwood PP OYP7 Ove has to do is to be herself.

XOCHITL DANCE DRAMA TO BE AT PAN MONDAY Ted Shawn's latest and best dance drama, “Xochit!,” a lavishly staged and gorgeously costumed ‘interpreta- tion of an old ' Toltec legend, wil be the stellar attraction of the new bill at the Pantages, be- ginning next Monday matinee. “Xoch itl” (pro- nounced zo-cheel) is something new and different from the usual dance drama and ; is said to be the most artistic of- fering of the year, All the costumes and the Esther Elmore scenery are his- torically correct and were designed by Mr. Shawn. Miss Martha Ggahai regarded as a new “discovery” Shawn's, is featured in the produc-/ tion and with her are Robert Gor-| ham, Brayton Jensen and a chorus | of six lovely girls, “The Golden Bird,” one of the} prettiest novelties in vaudeville, pre sented by Miss Lorraine Evon, will be an added attraction of the bill. Miss Evon ts a talented violinist and the golden bird, a tny yellow canary. The canary imitates various bird calls that Mise Evon plays on| the violin and also whistles and sings to violin accompaniment. Steed's Syncopated Septette in. cludes seven wonderful entertainers headed by Anna Mae Bell, a charm- ing young singer, and Ralph Hert lein, a dancer of international re- pute. In addition to these two there are five exceptional jazz instru- mentalists, and altogether the act is one of melody and motion, Jarrow is a talkative trickster who will puzzle any audience and at the same time keep laughter with his funny chatter. Gus Blmore and Esther will pre- sent their latest comic oddity, “Cir cus Days,” which gives Elmore op: portunity for his grotesque cannibal characterizaffon and Miss Esther a chance for several clever songs, Eddie Mack and Dot Williams are two skilled dancers who feature a nsational novelty called “The Stair- ase Dance.” ¥ The Pantagescope will show the | second episode of “The Lost City,” featuring Juanita Hansen, former Seattle girl, | m, | flowing | MARCUS SHOW OF 1920 COMING TO MET SEPT. 5 A, B.
