to the Fact That Women Are Going Back to Long Skirts and Clinging Gowns and Being Women Instead of Aping Men

’ femininity.

has proved neither attractive nor deserving of respect. on the part of men.

.;g.

Hence the shorts and the slacks are to be discarded for pettlcoats. There is to be less

even that quaint custom called morality is to be revived. Girls are to be girls again in- stead of hoodlums. women are to be women instead of some unclassified freak of the neuter gender.

This sounds too good to be true. we have seen the Garbo oob sweep across the country like wildfire and leave its disfiguring blight upon females of every age and facial contour, thereby turning morn from more __ ordinary-looking human beings into hid- ‘ ’ eouslties. There is no gainsaying me power )1.’ the films to work miracles and change women into what it will. There- fore, if Hollywood decrees that once more there shah be ladim, ladies there will be. For which let us all return grateful thanks.

It took no great genius, however, to discover that woman's ace at- traction for men consists in her being a woman. Femininity has always been her best bet. That is biological. The thing that draws a man to a woman is her difference from himself, not her iikenes. Every he-man is repulsed by a. mannish woman, just as every woman loathes a woman- ish man. Men have had intelligence enough to recognize this elemental fact in nature and have not sought to make themselves attractive to women by aping their clothes and their manners, you never, for instance, , see a man mincing around in high-heeled slippers and diked out in a. pink backless evening gown, but women are silly enough to think that

they are alluring to men when they put on pants, get drunk and tell

barroom stories.

Never did any one make a greater mistake, for no matter what a man may be himself, no matter how wild and wicked his life may have been; no matter how cynical he may have become, he still cherishes an ideal of feminine gentleness and goodness and sweetness. The hard-boiled mail- nish. woman does not appeal to him. He may believe in nothing in heav- en or on earth, but he wants a woman who has faith in God and who lives up to all the precepts of decency.

Man are not attracted to women who are imitation men for many .reasons. one is because all imitations are phoney, pinchbeck, worthles . and the woman who is an mutation man is the worst of the lot. A poor thing, who is neither fish, flesh nor fowl, neither man nor woman, but with the vices of both. sexes and the virtues of neither. she demands the rights of a man and the privileges of a woman, and men avoid her be- cause there is no plane on which they can deal with her.

Another reason the masculine woman gets nowhere with men is be-

- cause she does not meet his needs as a companion. They could no more open their hearts to a girl who is just a good sport than they could to another man. Every man has need of some woman to whom he can go in his moment of triumph or his hour of despair and tell the things that he could not poaflily tell his best man friend. At bottom, every man is a. little boy who runs to Mother when he gets hurt and weeps out his sor- rows upon her breast and lets her kiss his wound and make it weu, but the breast is not covered with a stiff-bosoined shirt and the lips do not wear a faked mustache. '

All of the propaganda about camaraderie between the sexes, about men and women being pale and working and playing together sounds con- vincing, and it has led many foolish girls into making the mistake of cast- ing away their femininity and trying to be brothers to men. 3113. 8-188. men do not marry their little brothers. They marry the bundles of pink ehlflon that are soft and perfumed, and that are a. refuge from the hard workaday world of men. They marry the clinging vines that festoon zhemselves around their necks and make them feel big and strong and

eroic.

The charm of women for mu: has always been their femininity. It

"nlways will be. The more womanish they are, the more frills they have on, the more perfume they put behind their ears, the softer their voices and the gentler their manners, the more desirable they are in men's eyes. It is an actual statistical fact that the number of marriages has increased enormously in the last few years since girls have gone back to Wearing trailing skirts and flowers in their hair.

So it is good news all the way around that girls are going feminine.

MY LADY MELODY ,

By ARTHUR HARDY Author of “The Merry Muquend ". “Love Song”, eI.c., etc.

He liked Caslni, but he was crip- pled alid old, almost at the end of ms Journey. Eddie was literally throwing away his career and his future, because of the drinking and his dissipated habits. Cezanne — in what did Cezanne fall?

Howard himself voiced the ans- wer as he shut up the car and lock- ed the between door which gave entry lllL0 the house.

"The man's a humbug. His 1113)’- ing is the only thing about him that rings true."

HOWARD STEPS OUT

Howard soon discovered» that Cez- anne was a rival to be feared. The man was insidious. creeping into the lives of the Huntleys until he almost seemed to live at Pleasant Place.

sheila was always about with him, and even Mrs. Huntley was afraid.

“Sheila may marry Paul Cez- anne," she said. “I hope she won't But. you must be prepared.”

He nodded glumly.

“I'm afraid so. We can't keep him out. He's like the East wind.”

Costing his mind backward, How- ard remembered how he and Sheila- had planned to spend most of her twenty-first birthday. ‘They intend- ed to spend the early afternoon, wet. or fine. walking over the l0VeLV heath beyond Densmere, a Surrey beauty spot. In the cool and dark of the evening they were to drive home, where dinner was to mark the happy climax.

As she walked slowly up the steps and into the house, it seemed as if this parting was inevitable. It Just had to come. Yet her heart ached-, for she was very fond of him—as a friend, she mid herself. She was going to miss him to-morrow.

But in a little while Cezanne rang her up on the telephone and in her- Joy at hearing from him Howard was forgotten,

The change would he]p him to forget.

He slept at Calais that night and he wired to Sheila in the morning.

After an early breakfast he start- ed for Paris, driving through the 0111181118 autumn mists with eyes fixed upon the road, and his mind filled with thoughts of sheila.

“I can't see how it is to be avoid- ed. Sheila. has promised to go out with him."

Then sheila had either forgotten or chosen to ignore the arrange- ment she had made with him, How- ard thought, bitterly. He could not bear to think of Cezanne taking Sheila away from him on that

“In that case I may go away.” he told Mrs. Huntley. “If I do I'll write to Sheila and send her a wire. A present, too. of course."

“You must do as you think best," her mother answered.

Inwardly she decided that it might be the best thing Howard could possibly do. Sheila B-1W9-Y3 took him too much for granted. Howard was serious in his inten- tion. On Sunday when re reminded Sheila. of the bargain they had made long ago, she told him he must abandon the proposed outing. After all, the day would be Short and the weather, mcyt likely, bad. she would give him the entire morning, but in the afternoon she had promised to see Cezanne.

Sol she intended to give his day to Cezanne. Howard did not try to persuade her to adhere to the orig- inal compact. It would be hateful if he made her go out with him, he thought.

His mind was made up. That night he arranged with his father to take a holiday. He would like to go abroad for three months, he said, perhaps longer. He must get away from London and Sheila, His nerves were all on edge.

His father said he had noticed it.

Howard Ashley senior was very fond and very proud of his son. He, too, had hoped that Howard would marry sheila. But sheila was daz- zled by the glamour of her career, and therein danger lay. It might be ‘better for Howard to suffer now ‘rather than marry Sheila and re- pent later. sheila was a glorious girl, but she had known Howard too long and too well to be quite sure of her

It was a lovely little wrist watch set with diamonds and the tiny hands were lit with diamond sparks, she loved it and wore it, showing it proudly to her father and mother,

She held her breath as she set the instrument against her chin and shoulder, remembering all that she had ever heard about the tone and power of the fourth string of the Guarnerius. She hardly dared to put it to the test. But at last she swept the bow across the string and was answered by ii. note as rich as a trumpet.

This lovely instrument was for her. It was of the strongest make temper and stamp and she longed to go up to her studio to pla it. But instead she made for the le- phone excitedly. bearing the case with her and rang up Wills's of Pond Street.

she told them of the delivery of the violin and she wanted to know who had sent it.
