M'LISS DISCUSSES CANDOR
4IN ITS RELATION TO SEX
She Commends Barnard College Girl's Open
Letter Criticising College Curricula for
i Minimizing Importance of Sex Hygiene
IN THIS day of sex plnys and Emma Goldman lectures, open to the public and
permitted by the police, It seems almost unprogrcsslvo and futile to ralso the
question: Do girls know enouch of that phaso of llfo to which our Krandmothers,
and thoso few remaining- old-fashioned mothers, refer only In veiled allusions and
with rosy blushes?
But reading tho "Open Letter to Collciro Girls" In the "Chnllenfie." about
which such a, storm of disapproval has burst, I cannot help but admire Miss
Esther It Norton, tho Barnard girl who. wrote It, not only for the cournBo dis
played by her attitude (she must have perceived In advance that her criticism
would not meet tho approval of her Instructors), but also for tho soundness of her
views and the sanity with which her point Is taken.
Tho outpourings of college youth are usually characterized by n sophomorlc
outlook and a jejuno, half-baked Btylo of expression. Miss Norton's letter, on
the other hand, Is seasoned and sane. If I had not known, I would havo behoved
It the communication of an older woman.
The most vital subjects of life, Miss Norton holds, sex hygiene, heredity,
child hygiene, physiology, are Bhamefully neglected In college curricula. So
much so that after leaving her alma mater, a girl In later life, educated accord
ing to modern methods, Is going to And a woeful lack of proportion In her view
of education.
"I havo heard girls talk with enthusiasm over feminism," Miss Norton
writes, "but I have never heard them tnlk of tho most significant phaso of
feminism Intelligent motherhood. In our women's colleges wo do not sulllclcntly
have this aim In view.
"Tho world needs Intelligent motherhood, trained motherhood. If you read
the pamphlets of tho Federal Children's llurcau on Infant mortality you will
And that ono of tho chief causes of Infant mortality Is the Ignoranco of mothers."
One or two hours a week, crowded Into a half year, Miss Norton declares,
is all tho tlmo that tho averago college girl takes for tho Important subjects of
hygiene, home nursing and physiology.
"Consider," sho continues, "tho proportion of time spent on these Important
subjects. Important to all, but especially to women, and the tlmo spent on other
lequlred work. Students devote a year to the biology of amoebas, Insects nnd
mammals. A full term Is given to tho study of plant life, with hours of labora
tory work. I, for Instance, havo had two required courses In politics, flvo his
tory courses, two economics courses, three writing courses, three lltcraturo
courses, one language course, ono course In statistics, ono course In nntural
nclcnce, one course In psychology, ono course In logic nnd only a half year In
physiology and one half year In heredity.
"Tho majority of women nnd the majority of college women look forward
to the duty of motherhood. In collcgo an adequate amount of tlmo should be
Riven to the study of child hygiene, physiology and child psychology In order to
produce trained mothers mothers who can care for and rear .1 child intelligently.
Even if a mother wishes to hire this care, sho should havo sulllclent knowledge to
Pnow whom to hire and how to supervise.
"Tho women who do not look forward to motherhood cannot escape this
responsibility. Any 'socially conscious' woman must study theso fundamental
matters and must do her part to rear healthier, happier children. If sho does not
expect to havo children of her own, thcro are still many children who need her.
Woman's broader sphere Is In the greater home."
In conclusion Miss Norton asks, in view of woman's meagre education on
these lines, what Is to dctormlno her attltudo toward eugenics, twlight sleep,
l)lrh "ntrol.
And I might supplement that the education of the young woman of today
In not so meagro as distorted and disgusting, gleaned ns It Is surreptitiously
from yellow' Journals, yellow plays and yellow people. "Why not strip thobo sub
jects of all their silly, sentimentalism and secrecy? Recognize them definitely,
give them the place they deserve In the college curricula and forever destroy
tho mystery that gives an evil, salacious angle to simple physiological facts.
Those Yellow Gloves
, An amusing Incident told to me by a young woman acquaintance demon
strate more clearly than anything I have heard recently tho difference
between the free and easy manners of America and tho stiff formality of tho
countries across tho Atlantic.
Freighted with letters of Introduction and others testifying to his birth
and Impeccability, a young Frenchman presented, himself at tho houso of the
young woman who was expecting him. He looked, Judging from his nttlro,
as though lie came more in sorrow than In Joy. Ho was garbed In a sombre
b'ack frock coat, gray striped trousers and yellow chamois gloves! Tho latter
he kept on throughout tho visit.
His greeting was after tho manner of Lord Chesterfield plus something of
John Drew. Ho bent low over tho young woman's hand and kissed It with
deference and reverence, as though it were some sacred relic and not real flesh
and blood. j , ,
' Every time the young woman rose, he arose, of course (even n few Americans
know enough to do this), but picture If you can any red-blooded American
youth sitting throughout an entire evening, his hands clothed In yellow gloves!
That first visit has been repeated many times and tho young woman has
rover seen tho Frenchman's hands. Somo day soon she declares sho Is going
to give a bridge party Just for tho express purpose of making the fdrelgn
exquisite display his hands in all their nudity. M'LISS

Dear IfLIss Can you please tell me
how to clean a black leather hand bag
that has been allowed to stand uncovered?
Although It la comparatively new, It pre
sents a shoddy appearance becauso tho
dust has settled In the crevices of the
leather? TRAVELER
If the bag Is not very gray with dust,
you can probably clean It satisfactorily
yourself by first removing tho dust with a
stiff brush a 5-cent hand brush will do
nicely. After the dust has been taken out
with th'e.dry brush, moisten It (the brush)
with a little gum arable water nnd go over
the bag again, briskly and thoroughly.
Thjs ought to give It a rejuvenated air,
a well-known leather man tells me.
Approximately for about 1 however,
depending on the size of the bag, you can
have it dyed and refreshened, brass trim
mings and all, by an expert. In this way
a good traveling bag can be kept looking
like new for years.

SOME LIGHT ON LUMBAGO, .
SCIATICA AND RHEUMATISM
By WILLIAM
"R"
HEUMATISM," "sciatica" and that
worst of all nonentities, "sciatic
rheumatism," aro not nlways what they
seem. Even "growing pains" aro open to
question, since It is hard to see how It can
hurt to grow.
There is n Joint between tho sacrum
ut the base of the spine nnd the hip bones
on either side. This Joint Is subject to
strain, sprain and relaxation. Only within
recent years have we learned that many
cases ot "lumbago," "sciatica" and
"rheumatism of tho back" aro In reality
cases of strained sacro-lllac Joint.
In women moro than In men there Is a
tendency to relaxation of this Joint. Es
pecially during tho periods and after
childbirth aro tho ligaments and supports
of tho Joint relaxed and subject to strains.
Lifting burdens while In a stooping pos
ture, such ns ripping up n carpet from the
llcor, lifting a pan of dough upon a table,
Jacking up a car and the like would bring
considerable strain on these Joints and pos
sibly cause trouble.
The backache of bod-rldden Invalids Is
often a sacro-lllac strain, lemedlnble or
preventable by a firm mattress nnd non
sagging springs, or by a pillow or other
support under the small ot the back.
The pain of sacro-lllac Joint trouble
may be felt in the Joint, In the hip, tho
thigh, or even tho leg In others words,
at the terminals of the great plexus ot
nerves that passes directly over the Joint
down the limb.
The pain Is apt to be sudden when turn
ing In bed or changing posture. A "crick"
In the back Is generally a strained sacro
iliac Joint.
Liniments, alleged "uric-acid elimina
tors," baths, mineral springs, faith and
optimism won't help the trouble. Proper
support of the Joint by adhesive plaster
strapping around the pelvis, or by a well
fitted wiro surcingle worn very snugly
nnd low down about the hips will relieve.
GOOD FORM
Oitho to the fact that the Evemino
Ludcirh to constantly asked questions
relating to matters of etiquette, it has
been decided to open a cofttmn lit
which queries 0 this kind man be an
steered. The column Is edited under a pscu
rfonim; but It is, nevertheless, edited .
by an authority on social confcnllotn,
who Is prepared to answer clearly,
carefully and conclusively any query
which may be propounded,
'Oood form queries should be ad
dressed to Deborah Rush, torltfcn on
one side of the paper and signed with
full name and address, though Initials
OXLY will be published upon request.
Ono of tho questions often agitated Is
tho cxpensos nt n wedding; Just what
tho father of tho brldo should pay for nnd
what expenses are settled by the bride
groom. Custom moro than rulo governs this mat
ter. I suppose because It is tho last ex
penso the father Is to ho put to for his
daughter, ho has most of It on his shoul
ders. Tho bridegroom Is responsible for
three special things tho wedding ring, tho
bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets and the
ofllclatlng clergyman's fee.
Tho parents of tho brldo nre responsible
for the church decorations, tho invita
tions or announcements, tho music, the
cnrrlagcs, tho reception, breakfast and
house decorations and any other Incidental
expenses.
Theso custom may bo different In dif
ferent countries, or cities, but, nccordlng
to tho Philadelphia Idea, tho foregoing Is
tho proper thing.
Manner of Introduction
Dear Deborah Ilush Is there nny rulo
of etiquette for Introducing persons to each
other7 Wo had a discussion on this sub
ject recently, nnd I would like your de
cision on tho point. M. W. A.
A gentleman should nlways be pre
sented to a lady, noVcr a lady to a gentle
man.
In the case of Introducing two women to
each other. It Is well to present tho young
er to tho cider.
It Is usually correct to say, "Miss Car
rlngton, may I present Mr. Schuyler?"
Hats Off in Elevators?
Dear Deborah Rush Will you kindly
settle tho controversy about hats In ele
vators? I often Beo a man reinovo his
hat In tho presence of women in a de
partment store or office building elovator.
I am of tho opinion that the man Is not
only overpollte, but absolutely Incorrect.
Thero Is a difference between tho ele
vators in private buildings, such as hotels,
and those In public places, such as stores
and office buildings.
The man who removes his hat In a
department store elevator should, In my
mind, rcmovo it tho minute ho enters tho
door of tho building If ho wishes to
keep In strict accordance with his Ideals,
for tho ele-ator has,, nothing to do with
It. Years ago It was a strict rule ot
etiquette that a man should rcmovo his
hat tho minute ho entered the door of
a hotel, whether there wcro women pres
ent or not. Of Iato, however, this has
been overlooked, with the exception of
tho elovator, where every man removes
his hat. So far a3 I know, there has
never been a conventionality requiring n
man to remove his hat In a department
store, whether ho enters nn elevator or
ot. ICONOCLAST.
Thero Is no rule of ctlquctto In regard
to removing tho hat In elevators in de
partment stores or business buildings. It
seems thnt an elevator Is moro llko a room
In Itself than tho whole large store or
business office, nnd that may bo tho rea
son why Bomo persons hold to removing
their hnts In the elevator. These things
nro left to a gentleman to decide for him
self. There Is one argument for It; that
a woman always appreciates, the cour
tesy shown her nnd stamps tho man who
removes his hat, a gentleman.
May a Girl Receive Presents
Dear Deborah Rush A gentleman
friend of mine sent mo a bar pin for a
present yesterday. My mother says I
should not accept Jewelry from a man.
J. V. M.
Unless you are engaged to be married
to this man you should not ncccpt pres
ents of a personnl nature. It Is exces-
BRADY, M. D.
Slouching In chairs and a. number. of
chairs are built In a very slouchy way
tends to strain tho sacro-lllac Joint and
causo backache. Standing lop-sided nlso
helps to bring trouble.
Wearing corsets merely for fashion's or
custom's sake of course weakens the
muscle nnd ligamentous support and hence
Invites trouble In tho Joints that being
one reason why women are more liable
to sacro-lllac strain than men.

Right or Left
Dear Deborah Rush Is there any con
ventionality with regard to removing one's
hat when bowing to a lady In tho street?
Should ono special hand bo used? What
Is tho rulo for this? D. P. M.
Custom hns mado It tho proper and
natural thing to rcmovo tho hat with the

bo removed by tho left hand, and vice

"The Bathroom Alone Makes
This House a Delight"
"To me the sanitary arrange
ments are the most important
consideration of all in choosing a
house. We took this one because
of the perfect arrangements,
Everything is so well placed so
clean and efficient. And, inci
dentally, the fixtures are really
beautiful. The owner made quite
a big point of the plumbing m
Selling us the house. Said it
was FLECK BROS, plumbing
that it was fully guaranteed,
and that it was not only excep
tionally durable, but also easily
kept clean ."
