Letters.to the Editor
/. Extremists Of Modern Dress

70 fhe EJStor Of the Evcnino Public Ledger:
81 Sir--I have followed closely the discussion
m women's lress, bobbed hair, ETC., In your
Peoples Forum. and I would like to add
my opinion to what has already been said.
Changing the old saying EVERY dog must
have his day" to EVERY dog must have his
say" l am going to have my say on the
subject Of styles. Really l cannot see why
the men folks are finding much fault
with women's styles. They say their skirts
are too short their heels too high. that they
powder too much and that their bobbsd hair
In ridiculous.
Well. there are rany VINO go TO the ex-
perfect. either. They are often impolite;
they smoke too much; thsy gamble too much.
ard H. they could get it they would still
drink too much. SO which Is the worst?
TIE ones who complain the most are the
very ones who would snub the girl who
wears her dress to her ankles, one-inch
heels. her hair slicked back and shiny
rose and would undoubtedly take some one
else TO the party
4 think the neRtest way for girl TO
dress Ia by wearing skirt six or seven
Inches above her ankle medium heels, and
why not powder her nose? Wouldn't you
rather see a trace OF powder on a girl y
nose than to see 1t red as beet and
shiny7
But as to bobbing her hair, It does seem
a shame. a woman's hair Is her Grown OF
glory and II does seem almost q sin to cut
II off. even IL it will b. nicer when II grows
out again. JANE r. CRANE.

Sectarisnism and Hospitals

70 the Editor Of the Epcnino Pub, ,iC Ledger
Sir-ft does not look well when those who
have been receiving the lions share Of the
State appropriations to sectsrian institutions
rush into print 10 icnoUncc as blyots those
who insist that the provision OF the State
Constitution. forbiddins such appropria tIons,
shall no longer be ignored. II It IL bigotry
20 uphold the law, then bigotry Is no longer
o vice, but a virtue.
II is beside the question to argue that
scctarian hospitals are open to all. re-
sardless OF creed. so are the churches,
schools and synagOgues open to all regardless
OF creed. The hospitals under State or city
creed. and are open to the ministrations Of
ministers and priests of all denominations
alike.
1t cannot be truthfully denied that the
ultimate aim OF every relgous body in es-
tablishins churches. schools. asylums and
hospitals Is to promote and extend the
doctrines OF that church. So long as this
Ia done at their own expense no fault can
bs found. but when they insist that the
public shall be taxed to support these sec
tartan Institutions very insldious form Of
union Of Church and State Is established
that is sure. II unchecked. to lead 70
disastrous results. II is simply repeti-
tion of the old story Of the camel nrst
getting his nose into his masters tent and
then his head and finally his entire body.
II the hospitals and asylums under sec
tartan control cannot support themselves
without the States money. II would be
the part OF wisdom and true charity to
surrender these institutions TO the city or
State free from all sectarian CONTROL so
that their beneicent work may continue as
public and not sectarian charities.
