Show Extravagance in Dress. j Msgr. P'ox. vicar general of the diocese dio-cese of Trenton, preached a sermon to a. congregation of young women can-I can-I clidates 'for the sodality, of Mary re- rently, and in the course of his remarks re-marks warned the girls against fashionable fash-ionable dressing, j "Women are dressing more and nufre-, 'extravagantly each year." said he, "and the cost of dressing cHters young men from marrying. The minds of too many of our young women are tilled with dress and style. This weakness is cue of the many causes that'have made marriage unfashionable these days. "The poor young man's heart drops down to his shoes when he realizes the J icst of the things girls wear in order j to be stylish. Half the things have, no j apparent use. You see women dressed j I., furs but not for warmth. You would tl ink that furs should cover th.- lungs. : Not at ;TlI. These garments rest on Hie shoulders, fly open in front and the, rest go Mopping in the air. " 'ix)ok at that hat!' the poor young man says. 'How much did it cost'.'' j God help the present-day young wo- j man and her style.. A sad feature of ! th present day is that we have no j more little girls. They are all young women. The little girls have the same ' ideas about dress yes. and about the bo3s that their dear sisters have. The ; world today ne ds more women modeled mod-eled after the Kiessed Virgin." i r . I |
