MODERN YOUNG WOMEN.
MEDICAL MAN'S CRITICISM. Sun. LONDON. May 14. Sir Frederick Mott, a prominent pathologist, speaking at the Social Hygiene Conference at Wembley, said: It is natural for a young woman to strive to make herself attractive. She does not hesitate to endure any physical discomfort or suffering to achieve this end. She pinches her feet in tight shoes, cramps her body in corsets, wears thin stockings in winter, pierces her ears, and even her lips and nose, to permit of jewellery being attached. " >
Viscount Astor said that the AngloSaxon race was leading the world because it had developed the. idea of the same moral standard for both sexes. One could tell the nation's spiritual outlook from the position of its women. British girls in . war-time showed courage, endurance and initiative without losing their modesty. It was only idleness and, curiosity that tempted girls' to make excursions into the depths in search of new sensations.
