BARS PEEK-A-BOOS
At HOLY COMMUNION

COLUMBUS. Ohio. May 17-Father
Heidelang, the Roman Catholic priest
at Selma, has refused to receive women
wearing "peek-a-boo" waists at holy
communion. He will not even tolerate
short sleeves.
This has raised the wrath of his fair
parishioners, but the priest has stuck TO
his decision, and declares that only
women modestly and properly attired
will be allowed to approach to Lord s
Supper in his church
He maintains that he will carry out
this order to the letter, even III all the
women in his congregation are excom-
municated thereby. The women are
loud in their protestations. but are
yielding, and will obey the imperative
decree.
