Na sermon remarkable for its outspokenness, delivered at the nine o'clock Mass at Rosary Church yesterday, the Rev. Fr H. de Angelis, of the Italian Mission, roundly denounced. the modern tendency in : prevailing feminine fashion.
The condemnation extended to, tennis, and beach shorts, as well high spilt skirts, as he weighed the respective advan- lages of maldenly reserve and modesty with a blatant' display of sex charms evident in some women,
The majority of the packed congregation ware women. The Rosary Church is one which has always taken a strong view of the subject.
Fr de Angelis said "Nowadays some women have perverted the use of dress so that instead · of protecting and momenting the body, they undress and profane
it.
"The way some women dress nowadays induces only dis- honourable love. As a matter of fact it is wrong to call it lovo at all. It is passion, mere sex passion. It implies no honest purpose, no Idea whatever' of true affection.
"Man may use the half- dressed woman as a toy, but hà will never love her. He will amuse himself with her, but he will not marry her, ordinarily; and if he does, the marriage. will not last longer than a few weeks.
"A woman of intelligence and taste does not seek popularity by a vulgar display of her knees, or by a scantiness of attire and if she does all this she reveala what she really is; a creature given over to the wiles of the flesh, and let me speak frankly, bestiality,
Without any fear, it may be cald that a woman who dresses immodestly becomes a pliable Instrument In the hands of the
Devil, She does his work. She helps him to pull down [man to an Ignominious' and

"A woman who indulges in such licence treniplas under= } foot the promises of baptian. Is that the way of renouncing the devil and all his works, and all'hà pompe? -For-a- pair of · short pants or for a high split skirt, she is ready to fall on her knees before the Infernal Serpent, of whom she is the right hand in the work of dis solution and further destraat- Цод,"
The sermon raised a storm of letters to the editor.
"A modern woman" described it as a "ridiculous sermon." Sho went on: **Surdy · Erde Angells need not look or this display of flash" if-it *vulgor offends his eye. A high split thirt revealing a shapely leg has a very stimulating effect on: tho nestletle mind, but of course, to the bazer male, it is
