Show Growing Unconventionally. Woman's rebellion is everywhere Indicated; her brilliance, her failings, tier unreasonableness, all these are excellent ex-cellent signs of her revolt. She is even revolting against her own beauty; often she neglects her clothes, tier hair, her complexion, her teeth. This is a pity, but it must not be taken too seriously; men on active service grow beards, and woman in her emancipation eman-cipation campaign is still too busy to think of the art of charming. I suspect sus-pect that as time passes and she suffers suf-fers less intolerably from a sense of Injustice, she will revert to the old graces The art of charming was a response to convention; and of late years unconventionality, a great deal of which is ridiculous, has grown much more among women than among men. W. L. George, in Atlantic Monthly. |
