Closer Relations
Parents and Children

Bishop Edwin II. Hughes. presid-
ing over the annual conference Of the
New Jersey Methodist Episcopal
Church at First M. +. church, today
made a plea for a closer friendship
between parents and children and
between pastors and young people.
He deplored the estrangement be-
tween the adult and the youth OF the
present age. declaring that the carp
ing criticism by adults had driver
the younger folk into camp and he
didn't wonder at It.
The bishop declared he could find
no fault with the fashions, the man
nerisms, or the speech OF the young
err people of today, contending that
it was for the most part innocent
nonsense. BY way OF comparison he
ridiculed the fashions Of the young
men and women OF the early sos. re-
calling the skin-tight trousers and
the choking collars Of the male dan
dies. and the hoopskirts and tight
waists and the bangs and bustles OF
the women of that day.
when a woman of that period
stood erect" said the bishop, "she
looked like a perpendicular camel
and recall very well that the doc
tors OF that day repeatedly warned
the mothers Of the present genera
ton that unless they stopped lacing
in their waists they. would unfit
themselves for motherhood. I do not
disparage those fine women, but I
do say that when they criticize the
present day fashions, 1t Is unfair"
