What we must not forget is that there
is a distinct point of morale in this-’
question of how a- woman dresses. a
woman is never better than she drodses,
or, what Is equally important, as *»he
allows those to dress over whom she has
a woman’s dress revals with unfailing
accuracy exactly w'hat she is. There is,
in fact,* no mirror that so olearly re
veals the character as a woman's
dress. It is unerring and absolutely
self-revealing.
When we see young girls, as we saw
them in large numbers last summer
than ever before, or thought
lessly displaying in their attire their
physical rather than their innocent
charms, the fault is not so much with
the girls, as with their mothers who per
mit them to buy and wear such
clothes. The excusfe that mothers can
not control the attire of their daughers
is begging the question. A mother Is
a pretty poor failure when she has to
confess to such an admission. When
girls are permitted to buy and wear
the amazing hats that they wore last
year, set on a head loaded down with
puffs and mts; the waist so thin and
transparent as to be absolutely Indecent
with sleeves so short and neck so low as
to transcend the line of decency, and a
skirt so tight that the figure Is dis
played at every step, with stockings ot
the thinnest transparent silk —there is
a question of morals involved that is, to
say the least, important.
There is no sense in our being .shock
ed at the social evils that clxst and
seem to be on the rapid increase on ev
ery side, threatening our young girl
hood at every turn, so long as we di
stinctly and directly add to those evils,
yes, bring many of them about, by al
lowing this shamelessness in dress of
our daughters. It is all well enough to
deplore the vicious habits of men, but
is this .sort, of dressing calculated to
check them. It is within the lines of
calm speaking today that no single ele
ment in modern life is adding so much
to the evil part of sooity as this abso
lutely dressing that is permit
ted our young girls.
It is hard to see what the mothers, oo*
fathers, or guardians of these girls ar£
thinking about to allow tills sort of
dress to go on. It deliberately courts
danger, and when danger comes and its
deadly result is stamped on tne girl for
her lifetime, the parents are in tears or
they explode in anger. But why. They
deliberately invited the danger In the
girl’s method of drees. Why be surpris
ed that the method succeeded. Rather
let them be surprised when their girl
escapes danger.
It is nothing short of a crime to allow
an unthinking young girl to wear clothes
that w r hen she goes out into the world
are the very signals of danger. She
doesn’t know. Ilow could she. But her
mother does; or her father, or her
brother, or sister. Some older person is
responsible for allowing the dangerous
dresa, and that some one will be direct
ly responsible if danger cornea to the
For Gray Hair
t*t Can Be Darkened Very Cleverly by
Using This Simple 'Formula.
In this age, w'hen one's personal ap
pearance counts for so much, and when
both the social and business wortd puts
a ban upon everything that denotes the
approach of age. it becomes a matter of
duty to those whose hair is turning
gray to adopt somo rational means of
darkening it, thus hiding the traces of
Tme. An excellent, yet very simple so
lution of the problem is to procure at
•the drug store on ounce of bay rum, a
quarter ounco of glyoerine and a small
box of Barbo Compound, and at home
you can dissolve the Barbo Compound in
7 ounces of water, afterward adding the
other two ingredients. This makes a
remarkably effective mixture for dark
ening gray hair, and at the same time
removing dandruff and other ills of the
scalp, besides making the hair soft,
glossy and “younger-looklng.’’ It dark
