WEDNESDAY, MAY 21 | “Fluffs, Frills and “V's Emphasize Femininity, Get Women Husbands” MARIA THOMPSON DAVIESS OPPOSES | ; REV. DR. STRATON’S DRESS VIEWS “Give Us Beauty and Femininity,’’ She Says, ‘‘or Look for a Perishing World—Let Us Have Gauze and Gewgaws—Anything to Emphasize Woman-ness.”” wm 2 By Zoe Beckley % NLY yesterday I was willing to agree with the Rev. Dr, Straton that ; women’s clothes were getting to be—well, just utterly ab-solutelyt To-day I put the question to Maria Thompson Daviess: Are women endangering the morals of men by their frocks cut “loand-behold in front and V-de-Boheme behind?” And her prompt denial of the allegation, wifh reasons for same, have convinced me that “it doesn’t matter HOW much women delete their dress, so long as they emphasize that they are WOMEN!” Tomorrow I may be all mixed up again. But today I am for Miss Da- viess and the “clothes that make women look as differ. ent a8 possible from men.” You will remember Maria’ Thompson.

By Fay Stevenson Copyright, 1910, by the Prese Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World). CCORDING to a writer in the London Daily Mail, English wives re cently were insisting that husbands pay them wages. ‘Lhe writer of the article in the Mail, who is a woman, says: “Women who have been managers of aircraft works and other business durfhg the war have different ideas of their value from those they had before. Nothing wil! induce them to be voluntary workers any more. They see that work is only valued when paid for, and it ts not good for ‘hubby’ to have so much done for him :or nothing.” Evidently the writer appreciates that an arrangement under which a husband pays his wife wages carries with it certain obligations which the wife must meet, and that the husband may very well answer the demands of his spcuse as follows: . “‘Right.’ You shall have your md RUFFLES AND GEOR. —— | One oven onancs TaFEGr women for her long strjn, Movement. « If 1 bad a poetic turn, I should say / $Mins Daviess reminds one of blue sky » Maybe her rosy-pinky- i ‘water! ing be more aw-ful and thickness and ising ugliness of this mill- (This in @ day when i fi i 2 hee way of clothes, No the frocks, or how Dehold’ they are | Boheme’ in back, no matter) ow short the skirts and how sleeve- Jess the bodices, give us beauty and ferhininity—or look for a perishing 8 5 ? ff ‘world! “Then you don't think what Dr. | Btraton calls the “standing-room- | only skirt’ and the waistioss waist are “Certainly NOT, The more femin- imity they emphasize, the better.

And especially for her “Melting of Molly,” recently dramatized. She has just placed her ‘steenthbook upon the mar Ket, “Bluegrass and Broadway,” which deals with the yjtra-feminist setwes that way. And it never oc- curred to me till Miss Daviess ex- Plained it that they thought they were being more attractive! Now T shall forgive them and stop losing draw fnen from the di ive back to the constructive. They want to allure and rebulld and repopulate and restore, It is a right and natural in- stinct, a purely wdmanly instinct, Tt is the instinet for love and peace and creation and beauty. “All women should be beautiful. ‘They are striving to be.
