THE EVILS OF FASHION iND STYLE

The n. \. Tribune after chronicing
some recent sad falls of young girls II
New York and Philadelphia, goes on thus
To speak of the cause:
The most frightful fact in our socia
life faces US in these stories. II is that
there are women in this lowest deep who
are not driven there by want or cruelty,
nor led there by betrayed affections
women who have been gently reared, ed
ucated, beloved, whose natures are SO
prodigal OF old, from the home
God gave them TO feed with the
swine. How many such are hidden in
these dens God only knows; how many
remain in their original position, the re-
cords of our divorce courts, the foul gossip
with which so-called fashionable society
reeks, not only in this country but Eng
land, give us an appalling hint. 1t is use-
less TO ignore the tact. Neither the pulpit
nor the press, il il means to help at all IN
the work of lettering our sociai life, ought
TO ignore the fact that certain portion OF
American and English society is rapidly
becoming as liceutious as that of Paris.
Who is to blame for il? Not human
nature. Women and men are born as
pure ds kllt1 NNlt a SSilti htIOh a-ps ANpt
Christ's religion. His hand is as strong
to save the Magdalen IN the street, OF
New York as OF Jerusalem. 1t is the
mother in fashionable society in the cities,
and in that society which ieebly apes the
fashion in towns aud villages and farm
places from Maine to Oregon, who set be-
fore their daughters, from their birth.
dress and show and style as the sole gods
that ..Style,n the most vulgar of words
and things has done as much to corrupt
the women of America as liquor has. Not
only was it the cause OF our financial
downfall, but modesty, honesty, decency
are sactficed 10 it. Fashion now publish

nothing SO holy that 1t is not made subser-
Went to it. Ii is not the wealthy wife alone
who vitiate her child's mind by this wor-
ship of folly, but the mechanics wife, the
poor seamstress whose aim is TO "push
ner daughter on 10 society," to give her
stylish dresses instead OF modest heart.
a clean mind and God tearing soul The
moral training which such mothers neg
lect is supplied by hot-pressed sensational
juvenile literature, and the reports of foul
scandals in the daily newspapers. Listen
to the precocious gossip OF the Haunting
over-dressed school girls who parade the
streets on holiday, and the tragedies in
Philadelphia and New York which we
have mentioned will not seem strange
sequel to such training.
1t is to but certain portion of our society
that these truths apply, aud that the SINAI.

there are common sense and piety enough
