LOOSE CLOTHING
WOMEN’S EXAMPLE COMMENDED. LOW NECKS AND HYGIENE. (Trees Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, November 18 “Blouses are all nonsense. A girl never caught any complaint through wearing low-necked clothing,” said Professor Leonard Hill, lecturing at the Institute of Hygiene. “Low necks harden and help girls to resist disease. Short shifts and silk stockings are also beneficial, especially artificial silk, which will allow the ultra-violet rays to penetrate the skin, resulting in sun burning. Women’s success in swimming the Channel is party attributable to their training to endure cold more than men, who are over-coddled. Men should discard collars and adopt open necks, knickerbockers or running shorts. The Prince of Wales could start the fashion by appearing in an opennecked shirt.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
