IMMODEST APPAREL
PYJAMAS MODE ON BEACHES
DUBBED ‘ ‘ ABOMINATION.»»
(Received, 9 a.m.) LONDON, • August 13
After quoting the fifth veise of the 22nd chapter of the Book of Deuteronomy, the Rev. F. Croyton, Vicar ,of St. John’s Church, Weymouth, requested his congregation to pray for the departure of beach pyjamas. He said immodest apparel meant a contaminated society. The pyjama fashion was an abomination.
St. John’s Church is only a few yards from the sands, where beach pyjamas are worn by men and women visitors.
The Rouen correspondent of the “Daily Mail” says the Archbishop of Rouen, Monsignor Villerable, sternly condemned sun bathing on the beaches. Women and girls should not wear cutaway bathing costumes, and must wear wraps until they enter the water, and not remain on the beach after bathing.
