NAGGING FROM PULPITS.

One protestant against prevailing
modes in womens attire thinks
that they "must make the angels
IVeil their faces with their wings. 3"
An extreme view surely, most peO-
pie will say; but the objector has
only begun to warm to the attack.
He hints that he may be compelled
to go farther in preventing a com
pIete collapse of public morals and
bar from places of worship women
and girls who do not array them
selves in style which in his opinion
would be modest.
1t is to be hoped that he will not
do so. For. as every churchman
knows, the consequences of med
ding of this sort would not be APP
preciably to diminish the particu-
lar form of alleged evil of which
complaint is made and they would
he decidedly detrimental to the
cause of the church. Better to
have the women and girls In
church rugged out as they choose
than not TO have them there at all.
And no one sensible of the spirit
of the times can doubt what would
follow upon an order excluding
from the pews members of the
congregation who failed to comply
with pulpit-made dress rules, as
threatened by some priests. Get
ting the people into the churches
should be the aim of every pastor
Having gotten them there, to Keep
them is the next order of business.
Neither one nor the other can he
successfully accomplished if the
church becomes oppressive.
If 4 minister can successfully
dictate to his own wife or his sis
ter what she shall wear, Sunday
or any other day, he goes farther
than American men generally can
go, Women who attend church
and are rebuked by ministers sim
ply cut out church attendance re-
sentfully. Anyway, few are the Of
Tenders against good taste, and the
feature in church that will cause |
dress modesty is observance of the |
style of garb most of the congrega-
ton wear. From extreme conf
ments priests and others make and |
the press prints, one might think !
that many women go to divine |
service arrayed as for an opera box
in New York. They don't.

For some time cheerful and reaSSUr-
ing rumors have been floating about,
like soft, spring breezeS, that there
is to be a return to fine, sheer cottons
for blouses and dresses next spring.
This is more than a rumOr now, since
these lovely materials are demanded
by people who are flocking South in
greater numbers than ever and at much
earlier dates than heretofore to those
winter resorts that are filed with
smartly-dressed people. For them very
fine wolfe blouseS, mostly in all white
and made by hand, are already an as
sured success. Organdy proves popu-
lar in headwear, accessories and
frocks. many resort hats featuring 1t
both in the body OF the hat and in the
trimmings.
All gentlewOmen viii welcome the
return OF simple dresses and blouses
beautifully made and adorned with old
time hand stitchery. There is a re-
f1nement about them not exceeded by
even the sheereSt silk weaves, and the
crispness Of organdy makes possible
certain effects in trimming that can
not be duplicated by other materials
