DRESSES AND RED TIES
OLD CHINA’S OPPOSITION. While the foreign areas of metropolitan Shanghai display steady ’encroachment of foreign-style garments among modern-minded young Chinese, word from Hunan shows that conversatism still rules that inland province. Conducting a drive against “unusual clothes,” the Hunan authorities have issued a notice that prompt arrest will be the portion of any man wearing foreign-style attire with a red necktie.

Also under the ban are women’s dresses of style deemed to show “sex appeal,” and the curling of feminine tresses.
