THE BARED BACK.

A PHILOSOPHY OF CLOTHES.

Laura M. Ragg writes in the Daily Bipret

Fle had returned from much walking to and fro upon the earth. The great war had caught him in the East, and his coun try's needs had kept him there during the long stretch of time parting 1924 from 1920. But at fast he was demobbed.". I was determined to give him a double por tieu of the amenities of which he had been so long deprived-town amusements, coun- try sports, books, music, troops of friends. The first entertainmeus to which I took him was a popular revue. He was most satisfactorily

but half-way amused, through be asked the rather disconcerting question :--

"Why is partial undress so much more naked than the nude!

1."

י,

The fig-kaf apron was the outward sign of the inward 'knowledge of evil." I replied.

He considered my idea. Then

But if my recollection serves "me, the Primitive atscript ht dress expressed a desire for covering. The fruit of the tree seems to work in an opposite direc tion with the fair sex today. By Jove! Look at that! It has the effect of absolute nakedness!"

THE WOMAN IN FINT.

I looked in the direction of his glance. A woman in the front row of the stalls had risen quickly in response to a signal from a box, and her furred cloak had slipped from her shoulders. A back bared hlmost to the waist, and a pale pink filmy, soi-disant corsage, held up at the should- ers by exiguous straps of flesh-coloured net, did produce a striking lusion of nakedness. She had passed her first youth, and no longer possessed the indes eribable juvenility of ane skin which, on the aesthetic side at least might justify an exhibition of shoulders and spine. As it was I felt bound to apologise for her.

"She is obviously going on to a ilance.? "I. do not envy her partners, If she does not put on that chak again I shall chuck my seat. I narot in a od for anatomical study."

When the lights are lowered, your will les the opportunity." I answered, deter- mined not to disparage my sex.

There is plenty of nudity on the stage, too," he said: but at least distance. plus the eicbant, sapplies a species of

I suppose distance from home-and light of another sort lend enchantuen: in reference to the untutored and unclothed Savage? I have heard you wax enthusias tie before now about these inhabitants of

les pays chauds. "

Distance, not from home, but from artificial civilisation and effects of light"

hot, glaring light certainly do create eneliantten. Freplied. Tahitinn women bathing, enveloped only in the effulgence of a burning afternoon; Venus Anadsom, rising in the pearly haze of | dawn from a shell reseate as the sky-one ennnot think of clothes in connection with them but neither, does one even think of the absence of clotlus. Butrit is precisely of unclothiness that one does think when one sees a woman with the middle part of her person elaborately dressed and the two extremities as daborately denuded."

They say. A hazarded, that women's fashions are made by men-milliners for men-spectators,

MEN'S. RESPONSIBILITY,

So you rebut this foolishness, this ugliness on us," he said impatiently. 1 thought women had ceased to kow-tow to the sex once styled superior. You have the vote: you sit in Parliament and on the bench; and yet you cannot driginate. your own fashions or rejtet any which are ofered you Talk of equality between the sexes There is none, I say, none! They are on different planes! We can

understand you

**Of course not." I said. Our incom prehensibility has been our weapon and your shfeld. And in days when, if you disliked our clothes, you had only to. isate, orders and stop pin-money, it was, perhaps, not worth while for you to vex your poor brains in any effort to under stand us. Now you must marshal your arguments in clear and cogent fashion. You must convince head and heart. Woman will listen. You will get "your

•way!"

He looked at me quickly, questioning by seriousness. I aint his glance with gravity. "Are you sure?" he queried. "And if so, why? Because" I said, men are just now a striking instance of the power of a minority."

He laughed The unclothed lady two rows in front of us looked round, met his critical, worried glance, shivered, and pulled her cloak round her.

The lights went down. The curtain drew up...

HIGH-SPEED POETS.

One of the young Georgians" (writes Jorning Post correspondent) tuld me recently that he had just finished a new poem after a week's work, which he des cribed a nerve-racking: The quest of the mot juxe, especially when une never finds it, must be a little exacting. But, with the exception of one or two who worked much-perhaps overmuch with the 6le, pone of the Victorians took a week over a poem, after the simmering or uncon- cious cerebral process was over. Willia Morris, for whom all work was join-de riers, was the most rapid writer of them all. Most critics think " The Lovers of Gudrun his finest poem, and in a single bout beginning at four in the morning and finishing at the same hour in the after noon, he wrote 750 lines. Which is prob ably a record, Morris thought that "Fast, not work, kills men."
