I WARNING TO GIRLS.
I American Women Cross their Legs
too Much and Injuro their
Health.
Philadelphia Correspondence in ("liieA
ago Tribune. v
FA Dr. Josef Garzourka, of Budapest,
hu says American women cross their legs
too much. The practice makes them
nervous, ho declares, and generally
undermines their health. Dr. Garzourka
is touring the world in the
interest of science and reached Philadelphia
today alter a week's stay in
New York.
"Imagine," said he, "sitting in a
car and seeing a comely young woman
cross her legs in such a manner that
one of the limbs is displayed sometimes
to the knee. In no country on
the Continent can women be seen sitting
in public with their legs crossed
so. To me it is astounding. I have
I. observed it in New York, and here in
Philadelphia it is also the custom. I
am given to understand it is so all
over America. No wonder your wo- ^
mqu are nervous. Such positions as
they assume while sitting are, to my
mind, sulTicicnt cause to undermine
their nerves and health.
'Mn Hungary the women sit up
straight and erect. They do not lean
against things. They do not like ;
rocking chairs. The American women
seem to like nothing but easy lounging
chairs."
l)r. Alice M. Seabrook, of the Wo- i
man's Hospital, of Philadelphia, was
asked her opinion of the distinguished
foreigner's statement.
" I deplore the fact that a foreigner
can come over here and make'such
a violent criticism of us which is
true," she said. "Wc all cross our
legs. It i- comfortable, and we don't
istop to consider the injury that it i
works nor the appearance we make.
Crossing the legs works injury in some eases,
but I think I ho ungraceful ness
of the pose makes the practice more
to be condemned than the fact that
il works physical injury.
"In |>;i>I generations in Ibis conn- <
try the women sal as straight on their
chairs as the doctor says the women '
of Austria do now. 1 personally re- '
member the time when I was not allowed
to sit in a rocking chair. Ob- ,
serve the elderly women that one sees '
right here in Philadelphia. The great
I majority of them sit straight, not 4
even resting against the back of a ,
staright-back chair. And that is the '
? correct way to sit. It indicates poise,
i and physical poise means, as a rule,
' menial poise."
Dr. W. M. L. Coplin, of the Jefferson
Hospital, said America showed
its disdain of the dignity that hedges ,
about a King many years ago, and
since that time the country has been '
going right ahead showing Its disdain J
of other forms of dignity. He seem- i
( ed to think if the American women
. wish to cross their legs why let them
go ahead and cross them.
\ "It is certainly not dignified."
k said he, "and in some cases works'
' physical harm to the individual. But '
it is a restful position, and it is, to
my mind, a form of individualism.
"The woman of a past generation
looked down upon such a custom. My
grandmother would have been shocked
to see a young woman cross her
leg's in public place. The American
woman is an independent creature and
the habit of crossing her legs in pubs'
lie is right in line with the advancement
of independent thinking."
