FREAK COSTUMES
SYDNEY UNCONCERNED
(By Cable.—Press Associatioa—Copyright.) SYDNEY, November 22.
The Lord Mayor, discussing tho question of passing a by-law against the wearing of freak dresses, said he considered that the innate common,sense, collective modesty, and good tasto of women would bo a sufficient deterrent to any venturesome, illadvised exponent of tho wearing of freak attire. The two factors, women's common-sense and man's protective attitude towards his own where the proprieties wero concerned, should prove on insurmountable barrier to the inroads of immodesty or the encouragement of the grotesque in women's attire.
