MORALS

.DR. W. PERRIN. a bi.bop of
u the church of England, says:
The moral code today is more lax
than it ever has been"
But is it, Or does it merely seem
to be more lax because more and
more stress is laid on its being lived
up to.
In 1854 a father wrote to the
Spectator of London, Eng. COM

The literature Of every century m m

Citations Of fashions.
