the Minnesota women most timely"
SAID Mrs. Welch. Il am especially OPP
posed to the way high school girls at
tire themselves. Modesty is quality
nowadays that Is decidedly lacking in
women's dress. I think that definite
standard should be set and that women
should adhere to this and not try to
outdo each other in the audacity of
their gowns. .-. ...
In the old world standards are set
and adhered to by respectable women
People from this country who do not
understand the customs set on the con-
ttnent often misinterpret what they
see. AS result they copy the bizarre
styles worn by one class of women in
Paris for instance, under the impress
sion that these represent the prevail
Ing mode"
II believe that the immodesty in
dress which is SO much talked of to-
day is due to the way in which a wom-
an may carry to extremes a certain
style or mode said Mrs. George Bass,
president Of the Chicago Woman's club.
I have no doubt that If the federation
or women's clubs started to agitate a
sensible dress reform, one that would
be both modest and becoming to the
wearers, we could make the movement
nation wide" -.-...
