TUESDAY, ACCUST m, 1920. GIRL ADVANCES PSYCHOLOGY IN Dear Miss Grey: So our old friend, the quest clipped from a journal 50 year; clothes fashions. } ger in the modern immodest} styles lies, not in the tempta-| tion they present to innocent men, but in the effect they have on the women them- selves; for I deeply believe in the psychological influence of dress on the wearer. I know that personally I can assume a different personality with various types of dress. On the other hand, I can not whe agree with the arguments presented in favor of the questiona bie modes that have gained populari ty with a certain type of women. For instance. there is the mother who says that we should not be ashamed of our bodies, and cites the | simple Fijian as an example. But in my opinion there is a vast difference between the frank unconscious nakedness of tropical natives and/| the suggestiye half-nudity one s¢es en our city ‘streets; and the differ ence lies in the mental aftitude. Cli matic conditions and a Gardenof- Eden state of civilization have made nakedness possitde in the tropics, fost as a colder climate and ultra- medern civilization have made) ehothes a necessity tm North Ameri. qm; exthemes are never comparabie. Apd then, there is the argument | that modern fashions are more com- fortable. Granted, but DO women wear them for that reason?
