SEASIDE PYJAMAS.
Prayers Offered for Their Departure. ATTACK BY CLERGYMAN. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 13. Quoting Deuteronomy xxii, 5, “ The woman shall not wear that which appertained unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God,” the Rev F. Croyton, vicar of St John’s, Weymouth, requested his congregation to pray for the departure of beach pyjamas. The preacher declared that an immodest apparel meant a contaminated society. The pyjama fashion* was an abomination. St John’s is only a few yards from the sands where beach pyjamas are worn by men and women visitors. The Rouen correspondent of the “Daily Mail” says that the Archbishop of Rouen, Monsignor Villerable, has sternly condemned sun-bathing on the beaches. Women and girls should not wear cut-away bathing costumes, he said. They must wear wraps until they enter the water, and not remain on the beach after bathing.
