ty is vain? What is prettier than the
picture of a woman who is bless
ing to her home and children, bless
ing to her husband and the world?
No one ever took one look at a beau
tiful woman that did not stop and look
the second time. But one never sees
beautiful character without in his
heart longing to see it again We
turn to a beautiful woman in the high
est sense; beauty is character, beau
tiful in soul. beautiful in life, beau
tiful in home, strong in body.
Healthy Woman Tonic.
Amid the pale faces and sunken
round us in this town and every other
town, it is tonic to look upon an alb
solutely healthy woman.
Some time ago friend said to a
en-; where are the round plump faces;
where are the roses on the cheeks,
dimpled hands; where are the healthy
women He replied, Madam Fash
ion has ruined the life and health of
our women She has stolen the rose
from the cheeks, the dimple from the
Our women have sacrificed the bright
est and best things of womanhood for
the frivolities Of fashion.
Il speak this hour to an audience of
1000 women. Probably there are
scercely 500 absolutely healthy wom-
en- among you all. These infirmities
run back through many generations
and many run back to the frivolities
of fashion and society. | pray God
that the day may come when the SEN
sible woman will rise up and put down
all forms of dress that are not con-
ducive to health and modesty.
But say" continued the evangelist,
this is not the time or place to deal
| with the fashion plate Of the day.
don't care how you make your clothes.
+ But / like to see women dressed all
the way up. Do you know women
are a lot more immodest than men. OF
! course l believe in a woman being
neatly dressed Who likes to see "a
woman in an old motherhubbard tied
around the waist with a string and
looking like feather bed.
Look Like "OId Scratch"
mo wonder women, your husband
don't court you these days. You
make them run from you. Some of
|
! ing like the very old scratch.
| 1T is simple truth that we all
know, although the pulpit has not yet
uttered it. that much of the woman
| Iy costume of our time is the cause
of the temporary and eternal damna-
| ton of a multitude of men.
| There is shamelessness among
women that calls for vehement pro-
| test. Many strive to see how near
| they can come to indecency without
being indecent.
/ The tide of masculine profligacy
Will never turn back until there is a
decided reformation in wOmanly cos
tune
Up to Husbands.
1T is high time that the good and
| sensible women make vehement pro
test against fashionable indecency,
and if women do not realize the de-
plorable extremes of much of female
costume, then husbands should plead
with their wives and daughters.
The parlor and drawing room are
now running a race with the theatre
| and opera and it is high time that the
press and the pulpit hurled hot ana
thema at the boldness of much Of the
womanly attire. Mother do you know
you are allowing young men to call on
your daughters who are indecent. A
lot OF these young men have a little
money and so because Of this and their
social standing you permit them to en-
ter your homes and make love to your
daughters. Shame on you.
Explains Three Crimes.
THE three crimes of the age are
whiskey, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and the hor.
rible crime among women. | don't
have to speak palmer. You know
what l mean. Do you know that at
one time 10000 premature bodies
| were taken from the river Seine and
when the city council Of Des Moines
gave the contract to build a bridge
and the builders began their work
the skulls of 81 babies were found in
the river. Somebody ought to come
to Richmond and preach on this sub
ject- What We need is $4,000 old
