IMMODEST FASHIONS.
A WARM CONDEMNATION. (Press Assn.—By Telegraph— Copyright.) (Received March 5, 9.30 a.m.) MELBOURNE, March 5. The Australasian Women's Conference resolved that all members of the Association refrain from the prevailing fashion of indecorous attire. The mover, m a warm condemnation of the prevailing fashions, said that it was dreadful to sit m the trams and trains with women who had lost all sense of decency and modesty. She was surprised that the Government had not taken action. If tho unfortunate class of women wore such costumes the police would arrest them. It was degrading to respectable women to see others wearing insufficient clothing to cover the body. She saw a window display of tango underskirts being viewed more by men than women. A delegate .interjected, "Like their. cheek!" Another speaker urged that women should take action to prevent such displays of indecency, which were shocking and disgraceful.
