A Warning Against Immodest Fashions

THE Osservatore Romano, the newspaper organ of the Vatican, utters a timely and vigorous criticism of prevailing fashions in woman's dress. It says: “All the present-day fashions are designed to excite the passions. They are the shipwreck of virtue. Cleanse these unholy wardrobes. Rid them of their dresses which make the wearer's guardian angels weep. Let your wives and daughters make their own clothes rather than wear dresses which grieve the Holy Spirit and the Father of Truth.” Who will say there is no need of such condemnation and warning?—The United Presbyterian.
