Girls’ Dress an Appalling| Problem, Declares Miss Margaret Luther. THE MEN ARE TO BLAME. “Many Women Give Up What Should Be Dearer Than Life, Honor, for Style.” And now it ts the Rev. Dr, Walter ‘T. Gumner, Chairman of the Chicago Vice Commission, who declares that im- modest dressing by women is responsi- Ble for “mashers.” And the Rev.. Dr. Amos D, Johnson, also of Chicago, says: “Pure minded youths are swayed by the brevity of ski I am inclined to Delleve that there more ‘mashers’ now than In past years. One can only hold the immodest clothing responsible.” A full batallion of other clerical tlemen in Boston, Washington and York concur vigorously tn the support ef the Chicago preachers. 1 But {s it the immodest dress which | tempts man, or ts {t man who tempts! woman to dress immodestly? Which is the supply and which the demand? As usual, Adam socuses Eve, but the modern Eve {s lese submissive than of yore. And Miss Margaret Luther ap- peare as a defender of her sex. Mise father is superintendent of the Florence Crittenton Mission in thie city, which @ares for hundreds of unfortunate ‘women very year. WOMEN DRESS AS MEN DICTATE BY THEIR PREFERENCE. “T delleve that !f men did not like the effect of immodest dress women would | ot adopt it,” declares the social worker. “The woman who weare rouge hobble skirts 1s usually the woman most | geen in the company of men, although ahe may be perfectly virtuous. But she Pnab‘a fine opportunity to find out just what sartorial effecta best please the other sex, and if her ultra-fashionable costumes were not generally appreci- ated she would be quick to abandon them. “This matter ef woman's dress ie be coming & tremendous problem. Its im- portance in the world of the average woman {s simply eppaling. Her lite seems to revolve around her wardrobe. And in so many, many cases she hae iven up what should be cearer to her than Ife, her honor, to the cause of dress. Of course, @ great deal of our work is done in connéction with the Night Court, and the common plea of the young girls brought in there ts, ‘I wanted more pretty clothes! i long ago we had @ case of two; Uttle girls, one fourteen and one aix-| teen, who came down from up the State to nee New York, They were horribly treated on the boat, but they were nothing but ignorant, innocent © Yet-one of them, the you ourt wearing the most outlandish , two narrow widths of calico ogether in sort of skirt, She @ it herself, she told me, Just ation for her visit to the It because she felt that she couldn't appear without @ hobble skirt. society women would only r and less sugge the criteria; tated . ro crudely "and beid- ly, as you go lower tn the scale, but the nucleus of fantast! mains, Hundreds of po ton of the tollettes they on Fifth avenue.
