It's simply Got to. Stop, say the powers that be. sWhen American mothers send their daughters half dressed to eve- ning functions, anything may hap- pen,” President Hibben of Princeton told me only the other day. When an American mother sent her daughter half dressed to be mar- ried in St. Louis Cathedral, New Or- Yeans, something DID happen. @nap! Out went the lights. Out of the church went the young woman, at the bidding of the rector, Father Antoine, In another gown she re- turned, a, sadder, a wiser, a more warmly clad bride, to be wed by the priest who refused to perform the Bervice when he discovered she wore “no more than a ptece of gauze above the waist line.” “It is a Warn- Sng to all Catholic women. They will be treated likewise,” he added. Another New. Orleans clergyman, ther Roth of St. Theresa's, barred from his church “women who wear low-necked dresses, or who wear sleeves so short as not to cover the elbow, or who otherwise do not wear sufficient clothing.” .This last provision takes jn the wearers of ht skirts, trafisparent hose and laphanous garments, except with undergarments “in support,” as the military man says. Behind the movement are the ‘nights of Columbus, St. Margaret's ughters and other Catholic organi- zations. James A. Flaherty of Philadelphia, reme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, commented as follows on the refusal of Father Antoine to marry a halt-dressed bride: “We Knights of Columbus have gultivaied the habit of minding our own business, so we are the last to preach reforms, But in this matter of immiest dress we are solidly on the side of our clergy and applaud efforts such as that of Father Antoine of New Orleans, to correct the foollsa tendencies in dress that are next door to eyil. “The Knights of Columbus are in the movement for respectable cloth- Father Antoine’ of New Orleans a Knight and so {is the sexton—it safe to assume—who turned out the ht." ‘And on this issue, remarked, the church and the State are one, ‘In Springfield, ©, you can't get a half dressed divorce—I mean as I previously uu can't get a divorce when you are alt dressed.

This thing of. peekaboo watsts and dee-more skirts has got to stop." So you ses, there's just one thing for a woman to do.

I want to be at home; that's what I married for," “You mean you don't want to leave home nights?" said Mr. Jarr. "That's the way I felt, too. The first six months my Tuesday night off was a lonesome horror to me. I was down- town, bumming and disconsolate I'd rather a hundred times have been home.

Cnprright. by The Preas Publishing Co, (The New York Bening World). F MARRIAGE is a lottery, parenthood, as conducted at present, is @ ] more of a lottery! Porheps a pair of expectant parents are yearning for a son and to carry on the family name of Smith and inherit the old family estate Montclair or Mamaroneck, or a west side apartment house, And comes a dear blue-eyed baby girl, who makes her own welcome from moment of her appearance, but who nevertheless (« not what was asked Or it's the other way around, and @ lusty boy baby takes the place of longed-for little daughter, But if we may believe Dr. Alzamon Tra Lucas, who has just delivered an address on sex determination before birth to the Allied Medical Associa- tion of America, fathers and mothers can make stre of getting either Tom. mie or Marv, when the stork pays them a visit, according to their pref- erence. More than that, It te In their power to decide if Tommie shall be a plumber or a pianist or @ professor— present wages of union labor wise parents would pick the phumber—and these clever parents can even deter- mine the stature and disposition of Mary, It may be a little hard on Mary to urtall her selft-determina- tion in this fashion before she even enters the world, but somebody al- ways has to be a martyr to science. Dr. Lucas declares that in ninety- seven cases parents under his in- wtruction_ controlled the sex of their children and in eeventy-nine In- stances determined before birth the vocations they voluntarily followed, In a Imited number of cases, but whenever the parents so desired, he raya, the stature of the child was ae the father and mother decreed. “There is almost no limit to the possibilities of pre-natal determina- tion,” Dr Lucas told me. “Practical application of psycho-therapy and vocational therapy has convinced mo that the best results are attained by visualization on the part of both pa- rents. By visualization I mean the desiring and consequent imaging on the cortical cells of the brain. “In aiging parents to incline their children to certain vocations I have evolved and produced ten distinct vocational types, which I have classi- fled in the following order: 1, ele- mentary; 2, domesti trades; 4, mechanical; 5, business; 6, profes- sional; 17, lterary; 8, scientific; 9% artistic; 10, musical. “Of course, parents must not got the idea that all they have to do is to say they will Have a boy or a girl, ag the case may be, and that they want the boy to be a politician or the girl a teacher, and let it go by at that. It is a very serious ‘business —this procreation by predetermina- tion, “It can't ‘be done in a hurry. In fact, continued mental suggestion by both father and mother for twenty- seven months prior to birth is ad- visable if best results are to be ob- tained, “First of all, mutual understand- ing, genuine, not assumed, ts indls- pensable, Another prime requisite is visualization, Nutrition is equally tmportant, and under this head regu- larity of good habita is a consider- ation, “The parents may fulfill all these conditions, but if they lack concen- tration on the ideas in mind they cannot be eure that their wishes will be fulfilled. And as time goes on, mentation becomes essential—the ap- plication of acute thought, The dom- inating ¢orce in predetermination ts psycoplasm, which ts a form of tn- telligence far stronger than tnetinct.” Think what a joy tt would be, !f, by using psychopinam wp to the limit of efficiency, you could keep your daughter-to-be from inheriting her father’s Roman nose or her grand- mother’s sharp tongue.
