FLAPPER IS DENOUNCED
BY D. C.. SOCIAL LEADER
Mrs. John B. Henderson Says Dress Styles
Are Menace to World Morality -Urges
Change to Modest Fashions.

Glow much longer must one endure
public streets filled with women bare
legged to the knees, as evidenced by
carefully selected stockings of flesh
color; high-heeled slippers, upsetting
the natural balance and rhythm Of
the spinal organs; faces painted be-
yond the trade signal Of the former
underworld? This occurs not only in
public streets and drawing rooms but
in business Offices and industrial es-
adjustments everywhere.
do not our sons, husbands and
fathers now need protection from our
women?
''It is natural and proper to look
ones best, also to desire the admira-
ton Of men. Poor fools! Not to know
that the best of men hate a brazen
disrecpect of modesty and the pro-
prieties generally. They give q GER
tain attention, but seldom marry the
kind here indicated.
For three years American respec-
liability has waited patiently for a de-
sirable change from French fashions
in women's apparel. We have had
atroclous French fashions before
tight corsets, long heavy skirts, high
heels, etc. But in America they never
before were indecent.
Calls Fashion a "Tyrant."
'The changes to a fuller skirt, light
In weight, reaching one or two inches
above the ankle tops and loose waists
are easy. There is no reason why
American manufacturers, assisted by
French artists, should not supply the
world with the most beautiful and ap-
proved of women's apparel.
Let independent America now be-
come world leader for normal health,
efficiency and propriety.
Let employers employ only women
properly dressed. Let schools and
colleges, women's clubs, the press, in
dividual leaders, become the allies.
AUX armes, citoyens!'
Fashion Is a tyrant, but America
IS not a good place for tyrants"

that the congregations will not be
