PASTOR COMES TO
WOMAN'S DEFENSE
Unitarian Preacher Says Slit
Skirt Wearers Are Not
Necessarily Wicked.

RocKLAND. Mass. Aug. a.-The
Rev. Louis A. Walker, pastor of the
First Unitarian Church, this morning
arose TO the defense of the slit skirt and
the x-ray gown, saying that many of
the men who criticised them should
wear binders to be safe.
Followers Of fashion may be foolish
and the garments impracticable. but it
does not make a woman wicked neces-
sarily because she wears them," he
stated. -
Custom determines costume, and any
variation from custom shocks the con-
ventional mind. Uncle Silas, when he
sees a low-necked gown for the first
time, is mortified at the shame of mod
ern women. It all goes to show that
morality is often a matter of geography
and custom rather than something de-
fined by iron-clad rules. Among the
aborigines, women did not begin to be
wicked until they started wearing
clothes.
Some cities are clamoring for NOR
ality censors. What kind of an officer
should be appointed-a regular police
r. an, or maiden with ringlets, who IS
Stocked at woman who does not wear
a high collar on a hot day? To brand
as immoral or vulgar the wearers Of
garments adopted as fashionable would
be to insult too large a portion of
American womankind."
