USE OF LIPSTICK
GIRLS GOING TO CHURCH PRIEST DEPRECATES PRACTICE [from our own correspondent] ! MELBOURNE, April 28 Strong disapprovaT of girls going to Mass and Communion with large quantities of lipstick 011 their mouths Mas expressed by the Rev. Father J. Lanigan from the pulpit of St. Ambrose's Roman Catholic Church, Brunswick, a suburb of Melbourne, on Sunday. ' i At a previous Mass that morning, he said, he had been compelled to leave the altar and wash his hands because lipstick had been smeared over his fingers while he was administering the Sacrament of Communion. "As far as- make-up itself is concorned," said Father Lanigan, "I cau only sav that I get a certain amount of mirth when I see some girls in trams and trains. How they can appear in public with faces looking like theirs after studying themselves for half an hour in a mirror is beyond me. "And some of them do take as long as that to make up. I am sure that quite a lot of girls who come in late for Mass do so because they have spent too much time in making up."
