THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND N EWS- Father 0. N. Jackson Calls Craze of Women to Show Shapely Forms Shocking. When the fair and well formed wear er of the clinging skirt that has drawn ’he stuciv of sociological workcis sintt Mr SBR w hi its advent and the condemnation of many wishes to perform her devotions tit St. Anthony's Catholic rliunh. she niii't first rush home and change het habiliments for something mote like tip garments grandma used to wear. When the pink possessor of one of thus* summery, low-cut. sleeveless drtsst s desires to attend services ir tne s'ltn? church, she must don some thing mote suggestive of the solemnity of the occasion than is implied in the name "peek-a-boo." Father (.). N. Jackson, pastor of St. Anthonys. has taken a firm stand in the matter. He believes that these vanities have no place in the ceremo nies of Hie church. He believes that if the women arc forbidden wearing such raiment in church they will cease wear ing them on the street. When they eease wearing them in the street, he thinks, a great good will be done wom anhood. Immodest Clothing Worn. Therefore, he has announced that in Hie future there will be no persons pos sessed of "peek-a-boo” in the pews of his church, while the hobble skirt will be greeted with equal disfavor. "It is a deplorable fact that there are many young women in Atlanta streets daily who wear immodest doth, ing," said Father Jackson. "The Cath olic church is against such a custom, t and 1 mean positively to forbid such dress- in my church. "By immodest clothing I mean the ' clinging skirts and low -cut or sleeve less waists often seen in the most pub lic places. Such dresses will not ever ' be allowed in a church reception here "When in the business section of the city I have often seen young women dressed in costumes that are little less than shocking. They bring remarks from men on the streets when the wearers step into street ears or even pass down the street. Want to Show Pretty Necks. "1 titink tlte women do not intend to do'the harm their suggestive costumes bring about. They are vain—have pretty shoulders, a beautiful neck or shapely arms, and simply like to show them. Fashions are formed by this same vanity. New dresses are some times introduced for no other reason than they display the graceful lines of a woman's form —and a dress that does this is always a popular one. "A suggestive dress is more harmful than a vulgar costume. The latter would arouse disgust in men. As it is, some dresses of the latest fashion bling ideas of lax morals to the young men who view them. That is why they will not be allowed in my church. At serv ice worldly thoughts should not be aroused, and I believe one of the most common causes for them is the dress of some of our women. They must have the entile body covered with the cloth ing approved of by our modest people, if they wish a part in St. Anthonys church." Father Jackson spoke of the present day costumes of women upon learning of such dresses being barred from services by Cardinal Cavallari, at Vienna, recently. The cardinal spoke from his pulpit and stated that he would in future bar such dresses from his church.
