"X-ray garmentu worn bv some women
are as degrading as the moving pictures
that are often exhibited in C'ollings

.hi Tiews on tbe subject Sunday night
when he attacked the feminine modes

exposing so miiih of their person, is
something that 1 cannot fathom, and
how young men aic supposed to keep

when they arc directly before their eyes
