Dress Versus WOmen'S Souls

BY REV. DIR. JOHN r. STRATON
(Pastor Rockefeller Baptist Church,
New York;
So long as | am able to preach
from a pulpit I shall try to rouse
public opinion to the social harm
which is brought about by the ex-
travagant and immodest fashions of
When all good women adopt mod
est apparel and stop painting their
faces the cure will logically be eff
fected. When the national spirit of
unselfshness spreads to women's
minds as it already has to their
hearts, they will see it is immoral to
cater to the coarser instincts of men.
The reform cannot come through
men. The American man is too in
dulgent to bis ~womenfolk to deny
them any luxury in his power to give.
He is usually ignorant of women's
fashions. 1 call upon the American
woman to do justice to her best sell
in evolving an American style which
shall be beautiful, modest, comfort
able and distinctive.
Some years ago | thought the tai
tornado suit which practically al
our women adopted for the stree
was a perfect garment. 1t is a great
pity it was not longer lived.
The low collar is all rlght. 40
not want women to look ugly. Quite
the contrary. 1t IS every woman's
duty to be as attractive as h an.
No dress hat hobbies the feet is
anything but against Gods natural
laws. 1t is monstrous.
A girl does not need to surrender
her soul nor cause a man to surren-
der his in order to be attractive IN a
ballroom or anywhere else. FASHION,
within bounds, has a useful mission
But in the ballroom, as upon the
street or in the home or of1ce a
woman's thought should be not how
far can she tempt man, but how far
can she attract them by her purity
and feminine grace.
New York can go ahead with her
"cabarets," her bal Bleu," her
midnight Frolics,' her imported
English and French stage beauties"
her bedroom plays, where the main
feature is lingerie, her neglect OF the
church, her secularizing of the Lords
Day. her half-dressed women, and
her pagan wining and dining; but she
will have to pay the piper for all OF
these things! She will have to REAP
the harvest from such goddess and
sinful sowing.

1t is usually not difficult to keep
comfortable, even in hot weather, pro-
vided one observes a few simple pre-
cautions. And that the observance
of such precautions is important to
keep in good health is well indicated by
the high death rate among Infants IN
hot weather. Many of these deaths
are distinctly ~preventable.
In summer many mothers still make
the mistake of dressing their Infants
too warm. On hot days a thin muslin
slip and a diaper are really all that
are needed. The thick flannel bands,
the wooden skirt, stockings and cap
can all be omitted. Naturally the
mother should use judgment and see
hat baby is kept sufficiently warm
when the air becomes cooler.
Seyeral tepid baths a day during the
hot spell will do much to keep the
baby in good health.
But adults, too, should learn hoty TO
keep cool in summer. suitable llSht
clothing is important. The DEGREES OF
fashion should give way to the de-
crees of good sense. Men would DO
well to copy the women and not hesl-
tate to appear in shirt waists. Light
colored clothing is, of course, cooler
than d~ark-cOioreu anu CottOli' VI hh
cooler than wooden.
\ The question of diet is very impor-
tant. Just as an engineer keeps ms
fire low when there is no call for neat,
SO a sensible person will reduce the
amount of food in his daily diet. TINS
IS a simple thing to do in summer, Tor
an abundance of fresh fruits n vege-
tables are available from which 10
make excellent, tasty meals. More
over the use of such foods is decidedly
beneficial, for they supply important
elements such as mineral saits any
vitamines required by h poay. ~

an dbecauset his is so, a style that Is
becoming to one woman may be quite
impossible for another.
Men appreciate this. They do not
know much technically about women's
clothes, but for ability to take in the
complete picture of a woman, l win
back a man against any woman The
woman who sw1ould win a man, must
dress to win him. Don't dress out Of
your station. Don't try to be a mod
ern' or advanced feminist type
there is no type that a mar hates
more. A sensible man knows by her
wears them.

far as protein is concerned. crackers
and milk are excellent sources of this
important element of food.
A word of caution regarding drinks
ing. The drinking of large
of fluid throws extra work on ha
body, especially on the kidneys ana
the skin. 1t is just as easy to quencn
the thirst with smaller amounts OF
fluid, provided one does not take large
guIps. Alcoholic beverages shout pc
avoided as they only increase the dis
comfort. While much has been sara
about the danger of putting ice direct
Nv into drinking water, the danger has
been much exaggerated. If the ice
has been washed off before being
placed in the water little harm need
be feared. While approving, therefores
of the use of iced water. still caution
should be exercised against the drink
ing of excessive quantities.
For those fortunate enough to have 5
an electric fan available the plan may
be suggested of having this placed
so that it blows a current of air under
the bed. This appears to be decidedly
helpful in making for comloftaoae

Mr.. Clark and the other leaders
on the Democratic side have known
that the opposition movement was
under way for more than a month.
They made a quiet, but thorough
investigation, and the result OF the
inquiry was not disconcertinG.
The real purpose OF the new fac
ton, according to many of the
prominent Democratic Representa-
tives, is to abolish the seniority
rule in order that those members
who have failed to rise in accord
ance with their aspirations will be
able to secure greater recognition.
Representative Henry T. Rainey

candidate. The steering commit
tee would have full sway under the
proposed scheme. Individual MEM
