" If a person of the female sex dress in such a
manner as to offend decency and morality, the Jus-
tice of Peace, as President of the Tribunal of Man-
ners, must address the parents, guardians, or hus-
bands. to engage them to exert that power which is
given to them by nature, and the laws, to bring the
person back to the paths of propriety and prudence,
and apprise them, that if they still continue re-
frattory, they must cite them before the Tribunal of
Morals.

if the weakness of parents, guardians, or husbands,
afford no hope of amendment, and that the exhorta-
tions of the Justice of Peace should prove of no
effea, then shall these menaces be executed, apd
such contaminated women shall be made to.appear
before the tribunal of manners, which will censure
them for their irreligious and immoral conduift, ex-
hort them to fulfil their duties, and represent to them
with energy, how ridiculous and indecent is that
dyes; which, besides the ;sandal that it occasions,
exposes a virtuous unman to the danger of being
confounded in the public eyes wit!! those unhappy
females who justly merit gegeral contempt."—(La
