"Aunt Jane" Writes About the
Manner of Dress These Days.
Where are the pure and virtu
ous mothers of this day and land?
Have we any or have we not?
This is what comes to our mind
when we come to think over our
girls and rising generation, of
their way and manner of dress.
Shall we let them go off into a
life of almost shame and disgrace
and take up after every style and
fashion that might come before
them? or shall we try to hold a
stricter rule over them? We
ask you older mothers to help us
hold a better rule over our child
ren and not let them go off into
every temptation set before them.
We don't mean to confine our re
marks to the city girls altogether,
as we cannot expect any better of
girls raised in town. They never
have anything else to employ
their minds except dress and how
to make it. It isn't any wonder
they study up and plan out such
old fashions. But it reaches out
into the country and takes hold j
of our children, and we are to i
blame for allowing our children
to uphold such.
The time has been in our:
mother's and grandmother's time
that they would blush with
shame to see a girl appear in
company dressed in a manner
they sometimes dress in. I say j
it and I believe any true woman
will bear me out in the assertion |
that no woman will unblushinglv
dress in such a garb without
lowering herself in the estima
tion of humanity.
Girls have you decided that
you will have to live an old maid
and put on the trousers or what's
the matter? You know the men
don't like for the women to wear
the trousers after they marry
and you know they don't like to

1 see it before. But maybe they
jare wise in making them; it
doesn't take so much cloth. But
; some will say oh, it's no harm to
wear them to play a little just
for fun, but dear reader we can't
see where there is any fun in
anything that is immodest do you ?
Modesty is not an accomplish
ment, but is an inborn gift from
God, which every woman has in
i her bosom. Where shall we look
' for the hand that will snatch the
| rising generation from the awful
chasm of immorality which
threatens our hand today and the
j sons and daughters of this gen
-1 eration.
We shall not expect this re
formation accomplished by the
leaders of fashion, but we will
look to the modest homes of
mothers who raise their voices
to God in humble supplication
and who will teach their sons
and daughters to reverence truth,
manhood, womanhood and virtue.
Oh, that we had a few more
old fashioned mothers to breathe
the spirit of virtue into the minds
of our daughters.

Pilot Mt. Sunday School Associa
tion.
Germanton, Route 1, May 12.
Mr. Editor:
Will you please allow me a lit
tle vacant corner in your im
proved paper, as I haven't seen
anything in the Reporter from
this part of the country in some
time. I
Well, the farmers are very|
busy in this section. Plowing is j
all the go, the farmers are very
much behind with their plowing.
Well, the Pilot Mt. Sunday
School Association is now over
and everyone seem to enjoy
themselves fine. A very large
crowd attended according to the
time it was held. It closed Sun
day. April 30th. Among the
members were: Rev. J. B. John
son, Rev. S. F. Martin, Rev. T.
C. Keaton, Rev. H. A. Brown,
Rev. C. C. Haymore, Rev. P.
Oliver, Rev. V. M. Swain, Rev.
|W. E. West. Now, people, we
| have heard what all of the good
| ministers have told us and if we |
ido as they say I think we will
have a good Sunday School with-;
out a doubt. Now there isn't
any reason why there can't be a!
good Sunday School at every j
church in North Carolina, and
would be if the people wanted
it. Now, people, it all depends
and let's see how good an out we
can make at it. Say, people,
didn't you know that only one
fourth of the people go to Sun
day School? Now, people, give!
this question one thought—just
ask yourself this question: Why
is it that I don't go to Sunday
School? and you can't find anyj
reasonable answer to it. Some :
people say I am looking for some
certian ones to come and play
j cards and marbles or something
else. All don't go to Sunday (
School try to study up some ex-;
i cuse. But if they will look at:
'the thing right they won't have!
any excuse. There is more of
of the older people needed in the
Sunday School. Some of the
young girls say: I am looking
for my fellow to come, so I will,
stay at home. Now, girls, you i
all take to going to Sunday School!
and your fellow will be sure to
begin to go—you bet they will.
Try it and see. Now, people, give
this a thought and go to Sunday
School. I know I don't give it j
enough thought myself. Now
let's see how fast we can increase
all of our Sunday Schools.
