fa gest e = 4 WAXES POETIC OVER CLOTHES DISCUSSION Dear Cynthia: I notice from your column, Printed daily in The Star, That some good folks of our village Have received an awful jar; They talk much like some “moral squad” Characteristically That “temptation,” like a shadow, Always goes before the deed; And so they charge our simple maids Of high and low cut dregses, With innocently (?) causing All their anguish and distress. Now, I’m not a moral mentor; I don’t profess to preach or spout; Really, I'm quite ignorant Of what it’s all about; But as I assume the role, In this od land of the free, Of that wise old guy we all know well, The “man up in a tree”— I may, perchance, possess a thought, A dim, irradient light, Of crude and grotesque visage, That will soothe the worried plight. For suggesting, as their letters do, ‘That a purely moral man Would be at all deflected From a strictly moral plan By merely gazing on the sight, walking down the street, or comely form Of the many maids we meet, Beems hardly quite consistent with Any moral plan at all, While yet we all admit the fact That some are doomed to fall Bo tn the last analysis All will turn out well; ‘The good will go to heaven— ‘The letter of that “Bathing Girl” ‘Was appropriate and fine. foes to show, as I contend, in matters of real life, borrow lots of strife, 80, there's lots of room, old world of ours To think In thoughts of sunshine nd quit our nursing showefs. us think, as I know we can, quarreling.

The Gospel Truth? Dear Miss Grey: The following scathing words from the pen of @ minister of the Gospel are very be- fitting Just now: “The only two beings that I know a of in the universe who seem to feel an aversion to wearing clothes ts the devil and a lewd woman. It is not vanity that makes a woman cut her dreas off at both ends and draw it tight In the middle. She seems to want to imitate the devil, her father. She is right down vulgar that is all. “If-she is a professing Christian, much worse for her, The devil can throw his tai) around her neck and jerk her into hell, her religion and) all, any time he wants her, as she is an easy prey to the devil and wicked men. Her mother might have tled a ring on her finger and a bow in her hair when she was a year old and started her on the road to hel” A LOVER OF PURITY. Public’s Stare Annoys Her, too Dear Miss Grey: What « writer fm your columns said a few days ago in regard to people staring at others on the street is correct. I have lived here for nearty 22 years and have often remarked about the {ll breeding of people in that respect. I have traveled a great deal and =| nayer annoyed in other cities.
