Only Beautiful as a Faint Expression of the I
rri ?- r .- *
f u/curer A" loveliness ] i
^ Sjr Lizette Shiels
SHE Reverend Father Sullivan, the Jesuit professor of philosophy
at St. Louis has a philosophy about modern women
and their dress that is not even skin deep. "They like to
be admired," he is quoted as saying, "not for what is in
them, but for what is on them." But does not the admiration
all depend on who is in the clothes? It is the woman,
lovely woman, that lends beauty to the dress rather than
the dress to the woman. Dress is not the ornament of woman;
it merely indicates and symbolizes her loveliness,
which the Creator exhibits to men as the most perfect image on earth of
heavenly loveliness.
uioines may make the man; they do not make the woman. Every day
we may see highly dressed women whom no inspiration of sartorial genius
can make lovely. On the contrary, woman does make the clothes admirable.
"When you see a pretty dress on a wax figure you admire the skill of the artist,
but when you see it on a pretty woman its beauty is increased a thousandfold.
You admire the dress, you delight in its beauty, but you delight
chiefly in the woman whose beauty it clothes. The reverend father then is
greatly mistaken if he imagines that a woman rejoice-s because her dress is
admired; she rejoices because her own beauty has found a feeble expression
and won a faint recognition.
I dare to submit and cheerfully impart these reflections to the learned
professor of philosophy in the hope that his young philosophers may learn the
true philosophy of woman's dress, and 1 leave to more competent hands to
?eal with the deeper problems' of how much woman likes to be admired for
what is in her.

FEEL that woman is wholly at fault. She is destined to sit on
J the shelf as long as she chooses to select a man's position.
ST* The woman who continues to hammer the typewriter and
J I a finds herself drifting toward single blessedness will find her
J blood at the boiling point every time she hears the cry of
an JnIanl- Why can't women busy themselves at home,
making the domein of life cheerful and sweet for those
that call on them? What is more sacred and beautiful
than a woman living in harmony with her nature, caring
for her "castle." her offspring and her husband? This alone is happiness, and
she finds her husband devoted to her, as this manner of living cannot help but
draw him closer to her as the years roll by.
Nine out of ten men would rather be a benedict than a bachelor, but they
cannot afford to take the chance. All we see is the young, frivolous, coy,
vain and cunning woman who does her best to conceal her true self. I do
not mean that all women are alike, but am speaking of what a business man
sees on his way to and from his business. Would a man of refinement
choose for his wife a flighty, frivolous girl, who thinks of nothing but dances,
theatres, puffs, dress and the craze for style? Not if he is sober.
The man of today in large cities does not crave woman's society in matrimony
for two reasons: First, the odds are against him. He is not going to
take the chance on marrying a bundle of pads or an "artificial woman." He
wants a sound, common-sense girl of good breeding and character and one
that can rear his children in a good maternal way.
Secondly, there are many social functions that a man attends, such as
dubs, etc., which make him look upon women with indifference.

i. . ! HERE are in the United States 80,COO,000 acres of swamp
Tland which can be drained and which will be as arable as a
garden when they are drained. This swamp land would
provide homes for and support 10,000.000 people. There are
in the United States millions upon millions of arid and s<=mlV.
J arid lands which irrigation could make and is making very
fertile. These lands will support 15,000,000 households, or
JJ twice the population of New York state. There are what
may De called the L<ost Lands; lands lost to the public
through fraud; lands lost to the public through lack of knowledge of how to
handle their peculiar formation. Only twenty percent of Uncle Sam's lands
are yielding living averages. What of the rest? Conservation says that
every acre, every foot of every acre, must be made productive of something.
If you can't grow crops, grow trees! If you can't drain swamps, grow cranberries
and matting reeds! If you can't irrigate, then practise dry farming!
If you can't farm rocks, then harness their cataracts into water power! As
to the lands lost to the public through fraud. Conservation says: "Take them
back for the public, or charge their full price for the public."
And you are still only at the beginning of Conservation's big program.
For every ton of coal mined, a ton and half is wasted; or, to put it differently,
for every four tons mined, six tons are wasted. In the petroleum fields, enough
natural gas goes to waste to light every city in the United States free of cost.
The fire waste of the United States is the highest in the world; so is the bill
of fire insurance. And greater than all these is the waste of human life in
