DEGRADING TO WOMEN.
MODERN ATTIRE. STRONG CONDEMNATION IN .AUSTRALIA i By Tclesraph-Pres3 Association-Cop.vrii:lit ~ Melbourne, March 5. The Australian Women's Conference has resolved that all members of the association shall refrain from wearing the prevailing fashion of indecorous attire.
Tho mover, in a warm condemnation of the prevailing fashions, said it was dreadful to see in trams and trains women who had lost all sense of decency and modesty. She was surprised that the Government had not taken action. If tho unfortunate class of women wore such costumes the police would arrest them; It was degrading to respectable women to see others wearing insufficient clothing to cover the body. She saw a window display of tango underskirts being viewed by more men than women.
r A delegate, interjected: "Like their 'cheek!"
" Another speaker "urged women to take action to prevent such displays of indecency. They were shocking and dis- . graceful.
