WOMAN BATHERS
CHURCH CRITICISM. (United Preso Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright ) LONDON, August 13. Quoting the Book of Deuteronomy, 22—5, the Rev. F. Croyton, Yicar of St. John’s Church, Weymouth, requested the congregation to pray for the departure, of beach pyjamas. He declared that the wearing of immodest apparej meant a contaminated society. The pyjama fashion was an abomination. St. John’s Church is only a few yards from the Weymouth Sands, where beach pyjamas are worn by many women visitors. A FRENCH PROTEST. LONDON, August 13. The “Daily Mail’s” Rouen correspondent says:—The Archbishop of Rouen; Monsignor Villerable, sternly condemned sun-bathing on the beaches. Women and girls, he said, should not wear cut-away bathing costumes, and they must wear wraps until they entered the water, and must not remain on the beach after bathing.
