And this is what they said: AUTHORESS—Marion Harland (Mrs. Edward Payson Terhune) of No. $11 West 95th Street: “I come from a line of clergymen—twenty-six on my mother’s side; I married a clergyman and my brother was one, and I am decidedly sorry to see the clergy step out of its province. I cer- tainly would not wish to wear such a dress, and I should not wish any of my daughters to wear it, I think the modern dress is most immodest, but I think it is the women’s place to regulate thse things themselves, It is absurd for ANY man, especially a Sererman, to go into these things.” TLLUSTRATOR—May Wilson Preston, at her studio apartment, No. 177 East 64th Street: “The dress would look yery sweet upon Irene Castle or some dainty, slender little lady. But it’s too long, the waist line is lost, and I wouldn't think of putting such a dress on any of the flappers or matrons in my sketches, As to wearing such a dress myself—No, siree!" DUSINESS WOMAN—Jvs, Ida J. Dutton, man- ager of the New York Exchange fer Woman's Work, at 54th Strect and Madison Avenue: “It wouldn't think of wearing such a dress. It has nol & bit of personality about it. It's simply a dress and that's all.” OPERA SINGER—Frieda Hempel, at her apart- ment, NO, 271 Central Park West; “What! Are these clergymen sane? . No, indeed, I would not waar a dress like that, not even the first thing in the morning. It does not even strike me as par- ticularly modest. Fifteen years ago, when we were wearing trains, they would have been shocked af a dress as high as the ankles with elbow sl LAWYER—Clarice Baright, with offtces at No. 170 Broadway: “No, indeed, 1 wouldn't wear that dress. I think women should be as beautiful as they can. And no man on earth can tell us what to wear, for we know ‘blooming well’ what we want.” ‘ SCHOOL TEACHER—Miss A. Downey of P. 8. Wo. 76: “Yes, I like the dress very much and ‘would like to wear it, It is conventional and at the same time dainty. I think it is about time something is done on this dress question, and I think the clergymen have planned a very pretty model.” eee LEADER AND AUTHOR OF “HIS- TORY OF NEWPORT”—Mrs. John King Van Rensselaer of No, 157 Bast $7 Street: “For the last thousand years men have beep-telling women what to wear, But not until they tell us why they wear three buttons on their sleeves, two on the back of their coats, and why thgy don’t have their collars made on their shirt8, shall they plan our clothes. I know they want to wear two collars to one shirt, but it isn’t sanitary. Mean- while let us tell them that WE want a little indi- viduality in our clothes and no one can tell us what length to wear sleeves, skirts or how high our blouses shall be cut.” PHYSICIAN—Dr. Elinor Van Buskirk, with offices at No, 605 West 111th Street: “The dress wouldn't do for me at all. That waistline would be the death of me. I admit, however, that I am red of seeing fat legs and fat women seem to indulge in short skirts more than any other type of women, so I approve of the length of the skirt.

As far as the rest of it is concerned, I think we can decide how long we want our sleeves, what sort of a waistline we desire and how low the throat shall be,” SCHOOL GIRL—Miss Freda Regenbogen of Hunter College: “1 would love to wear that dress, It’s perfectly charming. The whole thing appeals to me—length an’ everything.” WAITRESS—Anna Lineback of No. 212 West 84th Street; “Men have their nerve; still for men I'll say they did pretty well. I've seen so many women with their skirts up to their knees that I've just about had enough. You'll notice the average waitress wears ‘em pretty long. Sure I'd wear that dress.” SHOP GIRL—AMise M. Kelly of No, $89 48th Street, Brooklyn: “Of course I'd wear a dress like that, It’s the most sensible thing I've seen in ages, When you stand here in a department store the way I do all day you realize what fools women are, Half of them would look a whole lot better if they’d follow the clergymen’s advice instead of the Paris women, believe me, ACTRESS—Carroll McComas, at the Al- gonquin Hotel: “Nixi@, nix! I wouldn't think of wearing that dress, It would break my heart. I, for one, despise the terribly short skirt, but, on the other hand, I’m not going’to dress likea dear little frump, That dregs looks like a bungalow apron.” SODA AND SUNDAE LADY—Miss Fanny Fox of No. 381 Hegeman Avenue, Brooklyn: “It a dress isn’t pretty what's the use of having new ones? That dress is too full around the waist— to suit me. And I don’t think many of these girls Who come jm here ta: mute gtrawberry sodas and fudge sundaes would want a dress like it. I can’t imagine them wearing one.” * ST—Elsie Techon of~No. 55 John “No, I wouldn't wear a dress like that. 1 don’t think it is a business dress: It might do for a lawn party or an afternoon at home. But what girl would penta Qypit in an office in a loose affair like that? for one, want something which will make me sit up and keep awake.” MINISTER'S WIFE—Mrs. Frank M, Tovwn- ley, wife of the Rev. Mr. Townley, pastor of Bt. Bartholomew's Church, Pacific Street and Bed- jord Avenue, Brooklyn: “Ministers are the last ones in the world to plan women’s clothes, be- eause they know the least about them. They may preach against immodest ones, but they cannot expect to cut and sew them up in swaddling clothes, I's horrid—perfectly horrid.” So thumbs down on the clergy when it comes to their becoming designers and trying to com- pete with New York, London and Paris. Out of fifteen women only four—a shop girl, a waitress, a school teacher and a schoo! girl—were willing to wear their “perfect model.” TAK.

SHE WOU LDN“ A GOOD LANDLORD » Copyright, 1921, by the Prom Publishing Oo, (The Now York Hyening World.) BANKER in Pine Bluff, Ark., advertised he would rent only to a family with children, the rent to be reduced in proportion to the number, of children, A family with six children secured the house, the advertisoment, how- ever, declaring that “a man with twelve children can have jt on a long lease for almost nothing.” The examplo of this man from Arkansas might well be followed by the landlords of New York. ‘There are & few like him—tut not many. ‘The Pine Bluff citizen has a heart which many a New York landlord has failog to develop, especially in the case of families with children. Doubtiess that is why ‘Theodore Roosevem jr. bas introduced @ bill in “Win you take those pilla now?” Albany which makes it a misdemeanor for landlords to exclude families be- came of children. In thig connection Mr. Roosevelt is following in the footsteps of his fath who believed very strongly in children and in good-sized families. When people who own property do not do the right thing by people who do not own property there are always found ways and means to make them do so, no matter how much they may ex- pound the theory that it is their own private proposition and that should do with tt as they like, This was made very clear when The vening World secured the enactment of Statutes in a special session of tho Li lature relative to housing. hese measures Wore the preamble that when a business or property be- came so clothed with a public use that the public had to have it, then that business or property could be regulated, It is a very simple human rule und was laid down by our fore- fathers. They wrote it in the Consti- tution in the simple provision of pro- moting the general welfare, And the courts have held that no man may stand in the gateway of commerce and demand a toll for the necessities of life that the poor man cannot pay. And the greatest of all necessities of tife are the children, ‘No man may they penalize the growth of the children for very long. Ways and means will be found to ald their cause, I presume every landlord who pro- hibits children on his premises would be horrified if he were told that he is against the children. He would tell you that this is not true, that he likes children, but—the place for children is not In his buflding. He would try various means of ex- cusing himself, but the minute he excludes children he is against them. MUST CROSS HUGE GLACIERS TO MARK BOUNDARIES OF MT.

I cannot help wishing, however, that men who own property that Houses children woukl form a few statutes of their own—would regulate their own attitude toward them. Of course 1 have heard many land~ lords tell about the abuse and hayoe that Is wrought on their property by the children, There is something to be said on the side of urging parents to teach children the value of being careful of other people's property. A process of education might well be begun in this connection. Yet in the main the landlord need not be too “touchy,” as it were, where children are concerned. Suppose the doors are scratched a bit and a little wallpaper Is needed oceasiii sity, If no great damage is done, u may well say to himself that he wil! com- tribute this bit of loss for the general good of mankind. Thus a certain atte spirit might well be instilled in the make-up of the landlord. And if it were he would not stop on just admitting ebildren; he would do 4 great deal more, He would seo to it that there was some place where the children of his precinct could play. Perhaps he would make a play root, He would provide places for perambu- Tators. He would not exclude baby carriages from the elevators, Tn a word, he would make it easy for children to live, laugh and be hap- Py, for that is what childhood is for and that is why every one of us should be willing to give up something in order to attain it, Many a child, especially in the con- gested corners, never gots any real ghildhood because somebody has failed along the line to give it the simple requisites so yital to chikthood—proper housing, proper physical comfort and proper play. How much this is a pub- lic proposition has been Uttle realised until quite recently, We are just beginning to under. stand that when you get behind the child you get behind the future citizen upon which the welfare of the Nation depends SCIENCE NOTES.
