" UNWOMANLY WOMAN."
SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
SERMON BY A CARDINAL.
Times-Sydney Sun Special Cable.
New York, January 20. In the course of a sermon at Boston on Sunday, Cardinal W. H. O'Connell declared that the drama, the magazines, and the ballrooms all give evidence of an ever-increasing disregard for even the rudiments of common decency in dress, deportment, conversation and conduct.
" We need be neither prudes nor Puritans to sec and to realise that something is passing in the heart and mind of women to-day, which is' leaving them hard and unwomanly," continued the cardinal.
" Year by year this transformation proceeds. If it continues, there vIV be neither home, nor family, nor normal womanly nature left- If this is the new woman, then God spare us from any further development."
