C. REVISION OF TEN COMMANDMENTS New York, Sept. 3.—Pessimists who depre cate the forwardness of the modern girl, to say nothing of the morals of the modern young man, may take heart after reading the code of ethics adopted by the students of Professor Hermiin H. Homo’s cthics classes at the New York University. Prof. Horne is a North Carolinian, a native of Clayton, and was prominently mentioned as a suitable successor to the late Dr. E. K. Graham as president of the University of North Carolina. Ton commandments of po lite conduct and four more for full measure have been adopted by the young men and women of these classes after a general dis cussion as to wiiat constitutes gentle manners and good breeding. The consensus of opin ion was tliat the code to which the young people desired to subscribe might be sum marized as follows: “The deepest appeal of woman to man is modesty, of man to woman is chivalry. A true man loves refinement in women; a true woman loves knightliness in man. Men like to be treated with respect, women witli courtesy. “The secret of winsoraeness, of loveliness in woman, being primarily spiritual, not physical, it is a mistake to put foremost the physical appeal, The soul is more than the body. “All the graceful ciirves of woman’s fig ure iiiean but one thing: prepr.ratory ijmth- erhood. Hence her limbs, lier hi])s, her bosom. Slie is Eve, the Mother of Man. Concealing is more proper here than reveal ing. The true woman is not willing to east her pearls before swine, even to follow an ex treme style. These intimate, personal charae- Icristics are for the one, not the many. “Clothes .should protcct, not expose. Of course, always, Honi soit qui mal y pense, mais aussi, voir, c’est penser. “Men are naturally inulined to think of sox too mucii anyhow, It would help most men to be clean minded if women dressed nu>re modestly. “Good taste requires that .stylos be modi fied to suit the proper expression of one’s individual personality, AVbon a college -student, dross as becomes a college student. “Costumes should not try to make up for beginning Into by ending early. “A noble Cliinese girl with bound foot might well look with pity \i]')on the super- high heels of some of our girls. She. at least does not have to try to walk and work. “Let’s remember the economic side of the style question. In frequency of style changes ‘all the traffic will bear’ is the trade motto. “No self-respecting couple dancing together cares to imitate the suggestiveness of the seductive dance liall. “Cheek .should not i*est against cheek, nor body against body, and all motions should suggest poetry and beauty, not .sox. “JIany girls dancing immodestly are unaware of the significance of what they do. “It is not again.st styles, cosmetics, cos tuming and dancing that we speak, but in behalf of good taste i]i their use. “Boys, let’s remember our mothers and be courteous to tlic girls every time. And to every woman! Courtesy in fact, not merely in form. Keep your hands to your self. And girls, play the game of life fair with the boys, and you’ll both win. Wliat makes the code more interesting and significant is tliat it was adopted by yoiuig men and women who look from tlieir elassronm; windows out upon that center of New York Bohemianism known as Greenwich Village. When New York University was founded a century ago its Itome was on Washington Square which forms one boun dary of the Village. Although New York Ujiiversity now has its ccnter far up in the northern part of Greater New York, several of its schools are still maintained on the original site, and it was those schools that throw nut the foregoing challenge to Bolie- miani.sm acro.ss Washington Square.
