usual crop Of these adventurous of.

around the tea tables.
1t rarely happens that their impos-

The Essential Reasons for the Sins Of

ton of women shown In recent styles OF
dress and conduct He blames Profess
tantism for II. After describing the new
woman" he says:
Certainly this is not the Catholic woman.

| Influenced by these modern fads Of a new
paganism. She has her standards and she
stands by them unchanged.
II only Protestant women are the Of

Catholic Archbishops and Cardinals on
both sides of the water, and even the
Pope himself, have felt called upon to de-
nounce and prohibit the new dances and
the disgusting and shameless dress in
which women stalk through the streets
Are these prelates aiming at their own
people, or only at those outside their
Church? Catholic women must have been
AZ hard hit as others. for 1t was from
them that a cry went UP when Cardinal
Farley forbade the tango at certain
charity ball.
Cardinal O'Connells portrayal Of the
evils of the day IL not overdrawn. They
bespeak the total breakdown Of all re-
spect between men and women. II men
respected women and women men the
turkey trot and the tango would be i'm
possible.
But the cause Of all this Is not the de-
cline Of the Catholic faith. as the Cardi-
nal says. for he admits that formerly
Protestant churches "once housed -four
ishing congregations" The cause Is In
the decay OF personal religion. the break
down Of the family altar, the loss of faith
in the Bible as the Word Of God. Minis
tiers trained In the seminary under the
influence Of higher criticism do not
preach as once they did the Nervousness
Of sin. the absolute necessity Of repent
ance and faith in Christ. the binding force
OF the truths OF the Bible. They do not
stir the conscience. and therefore the life
Is Indifferent and careless In regard to
spiritual things, and we see the inevitable
and deplorable result In the sins OF mod
ern society.

that this enormous difference between

These indisputabe facts. which ap-

reconsideration Of clothing for girls
Spreading skirts should be abolished
because they are more likely to catch
fire, and the rapidity Of their confagra.

which are almost invariably fatal.
Dress reform for women has long
