THE MODERN GIRL
VIEW OF BACHELOR PEER
LIPSTICKS IN" CHURCH
LONDON, 21st Dec.
The head of the great whisky firm, the bachelor Lord l>e\var, in a speech in London, said: "You cannot blame a girl who pays 30/- for a pair of silk stockings for showing 28/- worth of them. We see more and more of women each year. Doctors must be in a dilemma to know where to vaccinate.
"Women's dress is the most rational and hygienic ever worn since Samson had Lis hair bobbed. That is why our women are healthier, more handsome and more beautiful than those of any other generation.
"If Mother Eve had known half as miieh as some of our flappers, what a fool she would have made of that serpent."
Lady Gertrude Benson, the actress, in an interview said that some women certainly dressed in an exaggerated fashion for church.
"I think the lipstick should not be used quite so much while young ladies are kneeling at. prayer," she added. "I agree with the Pope that modern women have no veneration or reverence, and that they lack grace."
