refinement; but her dress was OF
the extreme close-fitting type, with
low neck and short sleeves. Young
men behind me spoke in the coarsest
terms OF her; others stopped and
stared: still others turned and walk
ed away in her direction to get a
better look. Apparently she was I'M
conscious of the fact that with her
appearance on the street, the ideals
Of womanhood were lowered in the
minds of many men.
But 1t does not stop there. These
women OF better circumstances set
the pace absolutely for the girl of
small wages. The girl may have
no home TO which her friends may
be invited: her social effort is ex-
pended in her dress. She follows
the prevailing fashion OF immodesty:
she infiames the passion of the young
men she meets; she may not be shell
tered and safeguartied, and she is
swept under.
Is there a cure for il all? 1t is q
woman's problem. II going to the
extreme in dress is more important
in the eyes of womankind than safe
guarding the pathways of sons and
brothers and husbands, then it will
continue. But those who see it as 1t
is must raise their voices In protest.

dreds of girls on the streets dress
and act like she did"
A man of considerable experience
recently designated a certain coun-
try as low resort He was
promptly challenged by another, who
happened TO be circuit court judge.
The first man defended his criticism
by citing the women who We're seen
at this hotel: whereupon the judge
remarked. You are wrong The
women who go there go with their
husbands. and are the respectable
matrons of the community. You fail
TO make allowance for the present
immodesty in women's dress: an I'M
modesty which causes me to be
ashamed to meet some of my most
respected women acquaintance on
the streets of our city
Enhappily. the Judge was right.
And right here is the crux of the
difficulty. IL only immodest women
and girls dressed in vulgar fashion,
the line would be sharply drawn.
But. this immedess dress prevails
among all classes.
Those OF us who give our lives to
boys find no harder task than to help
the bay in his battle to keep pure
Imagine such boy fighting such a
terrific battle as only man can
appreciate, confronted not once but
hundred times with indecencies in
dress as he walks a few blocks in

do not write as fashion critic:
write as a man who daily faces
the moral issues raised by these
things. But I want to be specific.
There are prevailing styles Of dress
which !. are extensively immodest.
Among these are the tight-fitting
waist; the peek a-boo" waist. In its
real offensive forms Ca common OBJ
iect of Jest. while it goes on sowing
seed for it's unhallowed harvest;
some styles OF low neck and short
sleeves which many girls affect:
many forms of tight-fitting skirts:
skirts extensively short: certain types
of hosiery. The list might easily
be made longer: it is merely used
by way OF illustration.
Women are crying out because of
the lfbertines among our men. | be-
lieye their cries rise to heaven. and
that heaven weeps over the shame
of it. But I say without hesitation
that these prevailing styles OF dress
are loosing the passions of countless
thoAsands OF growing boys whose
physical fight is already severe.
When will women understand? /
make no charge of indecent design
against thousands of women whose
thoughts and lives are far above such
thing. Granted that they are above
such thoughts. will they not listen
to those who know these things?
Two girls of irreproachable char
acter passed me on the street but a
