ing to Dr. Charles w. Elliot, presi-
dent emeritus of Harvard.
Ia an address here, Elliot gave
women a full share OF blame for
lowering of morals.
Moral tenets and the dictates Of
prOpr-ety. I believe. are considered
more binding among middle class
people than IN the more rarifed at
uosphere Of the higher social cir
cles.' Elliot said
'I know a young woman who
cannot so out without having some
man make an insulting remark. II
is because Of the way she dresses
herself, the way she swings her
body and the look iu her eve.
These young women do not want
TO be indecent, they merely want to
be fashionable and pretty. but the
clothes are immOdest and they have
"a psychological effect. They tend
toward immodesty in manner"
