THE MODE FAVOURS THE SOPHISTICATE

The youthful bouffant has passed into fashion history along with organdies, lace ruffles and blue ribbons. According to Travbi Banton,

creator of Paramount wardrobe, feminine fashions favour the sophistlested types and avoid obviously youthful effects.

MODEST DRESS

The Bishop of Moulins la con- tinuing his crusade against bare orms and short skirta. Some time ago he requested the curbs and chaplains in his diocese to prevent women and girls from attending Mass in the churches if they con sidered that their arms wore too bare and their dreases too short. Now he has issued instructions to the effect that women who intend to take part in the diocesan pll- grimage to Lourdes shall have their arms covered to the elbows, while their skirts must descend below the knees.

He has made it known that wo- men who do not comply with this "minimum of modesty" will be prevented by the special commis- saries who have been appointed to keep an eye on their attire from boarding the pilgrims' train.

Spoiling

Stresa is laid-by modern' theorists on the necessity of avoiding punish- ments of any description for childish misdeeds. That is all right up to a point, but when a child has really learned to distinguish right from wrong it is necessary that he should also learn the lesson early, that a deliberate choice of the wrong will bring penalties in its train. He cannot hope to go through life avoiding just punish- ment for wrong-doing, and it is a handicap to leave him to learn that lesson late.

That there should be no "rapres- sions" is another very modern theory which has yet to justify it- self. Every normal child has im- pulses which he must early learn to check. Unobtrusively, if you like

but nevertheless firmly, he must be taught first the value of outside discipline, and through that self- discipline. To fall in this is to allow him to grow up slack in his moral fibre, unable to rely on his own powers of self-control or to be amenable to the control of those about him.
