FALSE MODESTY
SPANISH PRINCESS MAKES SWEEPING INDICTMENT^ (AUSTBAUAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received 28th August, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, 27th August. The Infanta Eulalia of Spain (aunt of the King) makes a sweeping denunciation of an English girl's 1 book, "Courts and Countries Since the War," which has just been published. "I am sorry to see that there az'o so many blase and artificial English girls. Their daily round of life appears to l>e one perpetual Bacchanalia, danced from hotel to hotel, from club to club, and from cafaal'et to cabaret. They can never become the mothers of a strong race. Their false modesty seems to apply solely to the domesticities. English matrons and girls sit nnblushingly through questionable plays, read books in which sex shrieks from every page, and wait in queues to gain admittance to murder and divorce trials. There is a certain lack of modesty in all classes of society, and one wonders when the barebacked brigade will realise that attraction consists of partly concealing and not -unduly | revealing."
