Jolly little place, Pago-Pago. The fine, husky specimens of masculinity who carry one's trunks off the steamer are exclusively garbed in an hibiscus flower behind the ear. For more formal occasions they frequently wear a bright striped loin cloth, but masculinity always has to take something off when it is going to do something strenuous, so the Samoan sheds his cloth. So far so good. But the female of the species, having loftier views of modern civilization, invariably wears the Mother Hubbard apron — a concession to the higher teachings of the Christian missionary. Hence, you will see that, in Samoa, it is the women who are upholding civilization — almost like our own femininity on the beaches up till some five years ago, when mamma wore 'em full and wide and long and high, while papa contented himself with a mere half yard of anything about the middle, which never looked so very secure at that. Since then, however, the beach authorities, with a nice regard for the equality of the sexes, have made masculinity uphold civilization a bit, too — and mamma's load has been somewhat lightened, both spiritually and materially. This matter of sex equality still needs a good deal of balancing in the realms of true modesty. For instance, it is perfectly comme il faut for male humans to appear before a seething crowd, from which women are not barred, in the merest hint of a pair of "trunks." They call the occasions prizefights or boxing-matches, according to the prevailing legislation. These gentlemen leave next to nothing to expose— yet they are the heroes of their sex. Hairy chests and backs, bosoms, tummies, legs, arms, are all in a lamentably uncivilized state of nature. But, I ask you, what hope for civilization — and universal modesty — could there be for the world if women presented themselves in public scantily be-trunked, with never even a pair of ashtrays as a sacrifice to modesty, a veil for Nature's incredible indecency? Well, as I said before, nice people really cannot argue on this distressing subject — modesty is too sacred a thing — but, don't you know, civilization never even begins to totter for the remissions of masculine boxing beauties. I trust that I have made it quite clear that Modesty, Art, Truth, Nature and Realism all have their appointed place in Civilization; that any confusion as to dates, places, occasions, sex, education or entertainment can be most devastatingly serious; that, in> fact, any deviations from customary modesty must be handled with the same caution with which one strikes a match. Gasoline and gunpowder may ever be at hand. Nudity, after all, is largely a question of Tact. Secrets of Hollywood Telephones (Continued from Page 27) exhilarating salary, he buys largely. He is lavish, princely in his expenditures. Tom Mix is the salesman's delight. His clothes and cars are ne plus ultra, to say nothing of the sine qua non of expensiveness. His new machine, a powerful Dusenberg "Straight Eight," shows why the tradespeople fight for his phone number. A gorgeous gray body, trimmed lavishly with German silver. The top is fastened down with woven silver lariats. The cover for his spare tire is a breath-taking affair of carved leather, with a chaste design of miniature figures of Tom Mix on horseback, roping steers, etc., with the name TOM MIX in two-inch capitals in the center. Today's activities on the Hollywood telephone and address exchange show the following notations: Tom Mix — bidding brisk ; new stars, active; character stock players, quiet; Mary and Doug Fairbanks, very quiet— few takers. 7*
