MODERN GIRL CRITICISED.
Mrs. Catherine Brickland, of Ballycommon, Offaly, Ireland, who recently celebrated her 119th birthday, has decided views, on the modern girl—even for a centenarian. She says: “I think her shameful, absolutely shameful. Her dress is nothing but a ridicule. It would make a modest man blush. The cosmetics she uses make me ashamed of being a woman at all. Her late hours and dance hall amusements are also to be considered. I am afraid she will never reach my ripe old age. “We had no silk stockings in our youth, and before we could get an old pair of wooden brogues we had to earn them. I suppose the young lady imagines that love and romance will come her way by being modern.”
