Catholic priest, Rev. Father Schoern-
er of Rochester, recently ordered two
women to leave his congregation be-
cause they wore peek-a-bOo garments
with too much peek to them. He told
ms pensioners to go home and take
off those bathing suits" adding:
This is church, not a bathing
house. Had Father Schooner been
eonversant with present-day fashions
he would have realized that as a mat
ter of fact he was casting an unde-
served aspersiOn on the bathing suit in
comparing 1t with the peek-a-boo. The
bathing dress of today is infinitely
more discreet than woman's street
garb OF silk or mohair, it exposes
only the throat 1t reaches below the
knee, the black stockings are without
an aperture, and the arms are covered
half way or quite to the elbow. Set
this demure figure beside a girl in cut
out embroidery waist and mark the
chunks to accommodate the design
and the effect is luminous A large
leaf of warmly tinted flesh is charm
ingly outlined in eyelet embroidery, or
piece of satin skin looms up as the
center Of q rose. If it is a conventional
pattern, you have flesh formed in
squares and angles. More Often-and
by far the most piquant=it is lust
holes; holes that have increased in
dimensions through seasons. holes
that give you Kaleidoscope and en-
barrasing visions. You gasp at i'm
pending revelations. At first the ex-
curSions into the peek-a- boo were as
mild as the first openwork stocking. In
the summer of 1900 it was confined to
a modest little yoke which outlined a
pretty girls neck and gave such fleet
ing glimpses of the interior decoration
that it was hailed as a positive inspira-
ton. Our descent has been rapid BY
1902 we had adopted graphic OPEN
work border to the yoke which left in
a question no flight. The year 1904
found us with vs. that strayed to unac-
customed depths and apologized for
themselves with large blue bows on
the lingerie beneath. BY 1908 we had
arrived at panels with islands Of
modesty between, and in the present
year of grace we have Fall overs" with
but an occasional dot on the open
work to save the situation.

But speaking Of breaks what do YOU
think Of this comment by woman to
a prospective bride: you know. my

of feeling who marry US, and men OF
i intelligence who don't"
