I 1 have .ned a good and
Vy eminently tiresome lift
and it never really occurred
to me before that the
freak of my Puritan ancestors is whal
ha-s kept me priggish and miserable.
"I believe it's the trouble with all us
American-. If only we had been started
by band of debonair young Frenchmen
instead of those grim old partieo
wouldn't we be a lot jollier nation,
though? You see, as it is now with ihi.s
legacy of asceticism, we just uii.is ull ihe

keeps us from art. and I really In lieve

the jfreatest lack in the average Ami rii so
woman's clcrthes, and that is the art of
charm We re no foolishly afraid lo be
charming' We re bo afraid som. one will
call us affected if we pose a linle just
artistically to enhance what of beauty
Nature has endowed n wirli or that some
one else will call us jdlly if we show the
slijrhtcet coquetry.
"That horrible word 'affected' why has
it such a terronr.iiii.' effect i We fear its

prettier if not wholly natural register,
and we don't dnre-oh, no indeed have
tliat lovely hair ornament with the tassel
bunging over the ear lor fear once more
of the dread, dwad epithet!
"And what's the matter with coquetry,
anyway? Why. it's one of the things thai
distinguish woman from man and il I R
pn-ity hard suffragette who hasn'i it, and
yet we are so afraid of it!. We step all
around it In our drew and glance at il
sideways but never dare to grasp it
firmly.

f that hinting glimpse of unseen delishts
that attracts admiring attention, and its
II lack is what keeps us jut about one sa-
I se.n behind Pans, as Brikadway i one hour
behind Fifth Avenue. The Kr-neh woman
openly flaunts it. but the American oh,
I dear, no She prefers to be st raightfor-
ward truthful -no silly coquetry for her,
j she's above it !
' Above it! In the first place it takes a
R good deal more cleverness than the aver-
I I ace woman has to acquire It and aequire i
it well, and then we have Ihe audaeity '
