BANNING FROM CHURCH
WOMEN WITHOUT STOCKINGS LEGAL ACTION CONTEMPLATED [prom a special correspondent] LONDON, July 11 Steps are being taken in England to challenge the legality of banning from church and Sacrament young women •who are stockingless or use lipstick. An increasing number of clergy are imposing this ban, and some of those affected by it have taken legal opinion in the matter. Now, through their advisers, they are to attempt to bring the matter to judicial review. To get the appropriate machinery into motion, however, is a difficult-proceeding. It means the set-ting-up of an ecclesiastical Court. Recently, at Poole, a young woman with bare legs was forbidden by the verger to attend a wedding in the church, and she had to wait outside.
