THE GIRL OF 1920.
CARDINAL'S CONDEMNATION. In liia Lenton pastoral, Cardinal Logue, Roman Catholic Primate of Ireland, sternly denounces "the scandal of extravagance and want of modesty in female dress." "It merits the condemnation," he says, "of all who appreciate the honor, dignity, and reputation of women, and it is an index of the degeneracy and corruption of the age." > In Ireland, he adds. Hie evil should have met the'inost uncongenial soil. Instead, it lias hocome a scandal to her sons and a. disgrace to her daughters. •'The grave dignity, reserve, modesty, and spotless purity of the daughters of Patrick and Bridget, which are spoken of in every, land, constitute one'of the hrightest jcnis in the crown of Catho- ! lie Ireland. What, a pity Hint this glorious mutation should be sacrificed I to vanitv. frivolity, and the slavery of -lodorn fashion)'
