MODERN UNDRESS.
PROMINENT PRELATE’S CONDEMNATION. CRYING SCANDAL OF PRESENT DAY [By Electric Cable—Copyright] [Aust, and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Monday, 8.30 p.m.) LONDON, March 3. Cardinal Logue, in an out-spoken Lenten pastoral regarding the insufficiency of women’s dress, says: “ Ireland is justly proud of the reserve and scrupulous modesty of her women, but whether from loss of that tenderness of conscience or slavish devotion to fashion, we can pride ourselves on this no longer. The dress, or rather, want of dress of women at the present day is a crying scandal. There seems to bo rivalry as to how little they can wear without incurring universal reprobation. Communion should be refused to women who present themselves in unbecoming dresses Dancing should never be continued until the small hours.” Cardinal Logue added that he knew nothing of imported dances, but their names were bizarre and some told him they were objectionable on the score of morality.
