BEACH PYJAMAS.
ECCLESIASTICAL CONDEMNATION. AN ABOMINATION. United Tress Assn.—Elec. Tel Copyright LONDON. August 13. After quoting the fifth verse of the 22nd. chapter of the book of Deuleronemy, Hie Rev. F. Croyton, vicar of St. John’s Church, Weymouth, requested his congregation to pray for Hie departure of beach pyjamas, lie said immodest apparel meant a contaminated society. The pyjama fashion was an abomination. St. John’s Church is only a few yards from the sands, where bcacli pyjamas are worn by men and women visitors. The Rouen correspondent of Hie Daily Mail says the Archbishop of Rouen, Monsignor Villerable, sternly condemned sun-bathing on the beaches. Women and girls should not wear cut-away bathing costumes, and must wear wraps until they enter the water, and not remain on tlie beach after bathing. The verse quoted from Deuteronomy is as follows: A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto tlie Lord thy God.
