Instead of fainting when they reAsk ceive' a proposal and saying, abeut-186as they-dl- d mamma1 Mrs. Kendal complains that the girls tof today Bay, "Right-- , old bean! Wherefore Mrs.. Kendal asks for a return to the period. She believes that women do outrageous things today; things that they would not dream of doing In Jane Austins time. She would rather have them fainting. And present day clothes distress the old time actress tremendously. The girls of today, she says, show what should be covered up and cover what might be exposed. "I cannot fashions. bear the present-daWhen 1 was a girl, says she,"young women were proud of showing a white neck In evening dress. But how can the girls of today show a white neck when all day long they expose their necks In low cut dresses to the sun and wind, unprotected save by a string of pearls of more or less value? . "I dont think," she said, that the rising generation will ever be like the great women of the past. They will do better t fthey go slower and are contented with what they sneer at as - early Victorian. "They laugh at ueen Victoria for mourning her husband too much the present generation cannot be accused of anything like that.Nowadays they have hardly shoveled one hus- band underground before they are looking for another!" , But the madern woman refusees to accept Mrs. Kendals theories. "The fashions of today are very beautiful," states Miss Llllah Me tress, "and much more hygentc than those of our grandmothers. "In Victorian days women exposed theiy shoulders and busts a good deal more than we do now. They pinched In their waists and wore skirts khich the dust In the streets. swept ' "In these days we allow our waists to go tree, and our frocks hang loosely in the Grecian style. It Is healthy to expose the neck to the air. "As to proposals. Why should a woman faint? You might as well ex- pact the man to do so. We are through with antediluvian ideas. The spirit of camaraderie which exists between the man and the woman of today Is the finest and greatest feature of our time." 6 ''i mld-Vlctorl- y i x - .
