FINE MATERIAL
YOUTH OF BRITAIN PRIMATE FAVOURABLY IMPRESSED RESTRAINED DRESS (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, October 24. “One of the main agents in taming the East End has been artificial silk,” said the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Cosmo Lang, when addressing the leaders of youth. He added: “Those bands'of girls in sham plush and ostrich feathers with linked arms, causing one of the greatest embarrassments by their comments on episcopal attire, have disappeared. I see instead elegant young ladies in admirably restrained dress. One might be glad to regard them as cousins or nieces. This generation of youth is of finer material than any in the country’s history. Dr Lang expressed the opinion that German young men and women, long oppressed by a sense of defeat, were now hopeful and confident. * I believe it will be difficult to inoculate them with militarism,” concluded Dr Lang.
