18 LUPINE LEAFLET The Passing of Modesty U D U Harriette St. Guilhem Where on earth did you get that? asked my horrified grandmother of my new dress. She thoroughly condemns it to be of the devil's handiwork, after taking in the seven yard-wide, ankle-length skirt, the small, tight basque with the deep, sleeveless arm-holes, and the huge love-knot tied at the side-front. Sometimes it seems that l get kicked by all parties concerned, simply because l design my own clothes, but as history repeats itself, it happens on this occasion that l copied that very dress from a picture of my grandmother at seventeen! ln the old days when Queen Elizabeth graciously reigned over England, were not the styles health-ruining fashions? Did l not read somewhere about the four maids that were necessary to dress the Honorable Oueen? We are, at present, spared the unnecessary expense of four maids. Were not the necks horribly low? The skirts horribly?, no wonderfully long? When the sweeping skirts are no longer the vogue, we shall then call them horrid. ln time we shall probably hear our bobbed-haired chil- dren say, Those awful skirts that mother used to wear,-how did she ever walk in them? Perhaps even then they shall be wearing trousers with sleeveless shirts. lf this day of long skirts, long sleeves, high or low necks is called immodest, what must the growing girl wear? How must she dress? The short skirts are barred as Aunt Eliza and Grandmama, also, thought them shockingly immodest. When you stumblingly appeared in your first long skirt, what exclamations were you greeted by? Aunt Eliza seemed choked on the new Home Journal salad, her face swelled and turned red as if it belonged to some other person. Father, too, seemed choked, he murmured an excuse about the telephone and fled, but Father was laughing, Aunt Eliza, however, was furious! Mother did not say or do a thing, she had cried over the fact before you, her baby, was growing up. When, at last, Aunt Eliza was finally recov-' ered, she said in her old maid voice, used only for these occasions, E-liz-abeth, surely you do not intend to be seen in public in that? speaking of your heart's desire. You gulp, and put down your thought in a mental note book, you shall practice on what to say to Aunt Eliza on all occasions hereafter, but you don't answer. She re- peats her question, and you turn to mother for support, she gives none, the hateful, long dress has bereft her of words, she gazes speechless, Aunt Eliza, Elizabeth's you from the front door to the back, from the cellar to the attic, and all over the house, at last you are gone, but the echo of being seen in that in public- my mother would not allow -rings through your head, and a perfectly good evening is almost spoiled. Eve wasn't modest 'till she ate that apple , and if these long, flowing skirts are not modest--I guess we had better have the apples passed again.

LUPINE LEAFLET 17 The Pleasures of Eating U U U Minnie J. Ware To me, eating is a supreme pleasure. I-low I have longed to lose my appetite- Oh! but in vain! I have seen girls who say they were never hungry. I envy themg and, yet, think of the joy I get from eating. It is even a delight for me to pass a delicatessen shop, and look in the window to see tempting salads, garnished with crisp lettuce, or during Christmas times to see whole pigs dressed and stuffed to the brim with the reddest apple in their mouths. Isn't it delightful even to have such a thought? Did you ever pass a bakery, and smell the bread as it is being taken from the' oven? Didn't you Along for a whole bag of buns so that you could eat them every one, and not have to divide? Once, while couvalescing from a long illness, I did not have anything to do ex- cept read magazines. Friends sent me large boxes of the finest candy, but I was not allowed to eat it. I could only hold the box, and think of the choice morsels inside. I was not really supposed to read much, and so there was nothing left to do except look at the pictures. Nlost of the advertisements were highly colored pictures of Jello , Armour's Ham , Raisin Pie , and things of that sort. Was it not enough to give me ah relapse? Now, I am safely over that illness, and often speak of going on a diet. Repeatedly I go to meals vowing that I am going to eat no fats, no sweets, and very little vege- tables. Soup could not be very fattening, and so I eat a whole bowl of it, and then come puffy creamed potatoes, gravy, and roast, which should he as alarming to a reducer, as a red flag to a bull. I am weak and easily tempted. I just must have a little of the potatoes and gravyg and finally say, I'll wait until to-morrow to start my diet. When dessert comes in the form of a rich, cream pie, piled high with thick meringue, my determination to become slender is shattered, and l lose control en- tirely. l suppose it is true that I live to eat. A c-:u:n:o S P R I' U D U Dorothy Smith To-day we have golden sunshine, To-morrow a shower of rain, ' Just see the wild flowers blooming On valley, hill, and plain. Now. there's aisoft, pale curtain, Of wonderful silver mist, Showing a veil of glory, Of deepest amethyst. The trees, the flowers, the grasses, I-low joyously we sing! There is no time for sadness, The whole world knows it s spring!
