娱乐性解釋/意思:

n. An habiliment of the stage designed to reinforce the general acclamation of the press agent with a particular publicity. Public attention was once somewhat diverted from this garment to Miss Lillian Russell's refusal to wear it and many were the conjectures as to her motive the guess of Miss Pauline Hall showing a high order of ingenuity and sustained reflection. It was Miss Hall's belief that nature had not endowed Miss Russell with beautiful legs. This theory was impossible of acceptance by the male understanding but the conception of a faulty female leg was of so prodigious originality as to rank among the most brilliant feats of philosophical speculation! It is strange that in all the controversy regarding Miss Russell's aversion to tights no one seems to have thought to ascribe it to what was known among the ancients as 'modesty. ' The nature of that sentiment is now imperfectly understood and possibly incapable of exposition with the vocabulary that remains to us. The study of lost arts has however been recently revived and some of the arts themselves recovered. This is an epoch of renaissances and there is ground for hope that the primitive 'blush ' may be dragged from its hiding-place amongst the tombs of antiquity and hissed on to the stage.
