every way if the men would more of
ten' comment favorably.
The extreme modern dress is some-;
tiling new Ulidfrt the son
class bathffigMilts fts dresses. We have
two extreme attitudes to ?the modern
dress. Some reformers affirm that the ?
women who wear such clothes aVo in-'
decent, hold and desirous of attract*
ing the sensual attention of the men.
The other attitude is one of intoler
ance with the first attitude. They,
contend tha the evil is in the minds
of the meddlesome reformers. "Kvll to
him who evil thinks," They hold that(
the extreme modern styles are healthy
cool, comfortable and sensible and that
the modern woman wears her abbre
viated clothes today with as much
modesty and innocence as ' her an
cestors wore dresses which covered
them from the lop of the neck to the.
soles of the feet.
Well. I suppose'both are partly right
and partly wrong and the truth. a<
usual. lies nhouf midway between the
extremes. AN e know that nianj. in
deed multitudes of women today are
free from any evil thought whatgjei
when they array themselves in dresses
that are too thin a ml tPO- short a L both
end?- and we know that some dress
that way with wrong motives.
We also know that the extreme
styles have a tendency to cheapen re
spect and reverence for women and to
lireak down In a large measure the na
tural barriers that should separate
man and woman. For this reason If
for- no other, the extreme modern dress
Is dangerous and often vicious in its
influence. Wliyii the women of a na
tion are cheapened in the eyes of the
men of a nation, and lose their re
spect and the attitude of knightly
chivalry, that nation is headed for the
rocks, and if the women do not call a
halt the nation wlfll be dashed to pieces
against the rocks.
