EFFECT OF CLOTHING.
Archbishop on Refinement of East End. United E a ress Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, October 24. “One of the main agents in taming the East End of London has been artificial silk,” said the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Cosmo Gordon Lang, when addressing leaders of the Youth Movement. He added: “Those bands of girls in sham plush and ostrich feathers, with linked arms, causing one the greatest embarrassment by comments on episcopal attire, have disappeared. I see instead elegant young ladies, admirablyrestrained in their 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.” The Archbishop 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,” he said.
