EVILS OF TO-DAY.
THE THIRST FOR PLEASURE. WOMEN’S DRESS AND DANCING.' By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received August 31, 10.20 p.m. London, August 30. A Papal encyclical says two evils predominate in the great moral subversion of to-day—a boundless craze for possession and an insatiable thirst for pleasure. The encyclical strongly condemns certain forms of women’s dress and certain forms of dancing, and adds that women appear publicly in apparel from which they would once have shrunk as repugnant to Christian decency. Regarding dancing, it declares that one of the worst forms has been brought frohi barbarism to be a fashion among cultured people, and nothing could be more apt to banish all modesty*. —United Service.
