Another prospective candidate la Dr.
George Y. Pierce, former alderman

PEEK-A-BOO SHIRT WAISTS
MAY BE REGULATED
From The New York World,
When congress haa disposed of the lieef
scandals It may In* called upon to consider
the peek-a-boo waist.
Rev. Father George 51. A. Scboerner, of
Rochester. l*s., who Interrupted hla ser
mon at Ceellla’i Romani Catholic church
last Sunday to order two women In peek-n-
boo waists from the building, has created
a precedent. He* told bis parishioners f
go home nnd take off those "bathing suits,
sddlng. "This Is a church, not a bathing
house."
The attention of the purity organisations
.w thns pointedly directed to a threatening
evil, and legislation may presently be de
manded to prescribe the number and site
of the holes In the "lingerie” waists, which
shnll admit the breese* and Incidentally
afford tantalising vlowa of the shoulders
of the wearer.
Since the hnn nnd cry over open-work
nalerr. which began with the merest pin-
, ricks and hna now come to n finish no
thicker than a face Tell, the matter of oilr
national modesty has had some fearful
shocks In woman's wear. Mere man might
have worn open-work socks and peek-a-boo
shirts fill the ergok of doom nml no one
would hare credited him with more than
an Ingenious desire to keep cool. But the
‘ -*“* “* “trough these
_ which meet
you on nil type* of fhe female form divine
Is "n horse of n different color."
Ilnd Father Schoerner been conversant
with present-day fashions he would have
realized that, ns a matter of fact, he was
casting an undeserved aspersion on the
bathing suit In comparing It with the peek-
•boo. The bathing dress of tpdnv la lu
