WOMEN AND CLOTHING
CARDINAL’S SCATHING COMMENT’. “ REPUGNANT TO GOOD TASTE.” Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, July 29. (Received July 30, at 8.55 a.m.) The ‘ Evening News ’ interviewed Cardinal Gasquet, librarian at the Vatican, who is visiting England. He said that Queen Mary was a model example to tho women of England. She dressed beautifully, and looked more beautifully feminine than any of those modern women. “ I cannot understand,” he said, “ why the Queen tolerates, at functions like the Royal garden party, women dressed, or rather undressed, in the scantiest of clothes. 1 fail to see what further clothing women can discard. If they went without clothes.it would be less repugnant to people of good taste. There is more suggestion in the flimsy clothing worn than in complete nudity.”—Sydney ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
