of the present day dress of women.
"Could it be possible that the present

question asked today of a number of
prominent persons. -
Some of the opinions expressed are:

not up on It in any way, but I can't see
anything wrong in women's costumes.
They look pretty good to me. Not ever
having had experience in anything like
the Swartt matter, I really could not
say whether a sane man could or could

Mrs. G. Chandler Phipps, society

think that women's fashionable garb
nowadays is Immodest. Like anything
else, of course, It can be carried to ex

as a result, Eugene H. Grace was mar
ried to Mrs. Opie in New York, at the
Little Church Around the Corner, in
March, 1911, less than one month after
the death of the bride's former hus
band. Grace, at that time, was a bond sales
man who had ambition to become a
building contractor. Finding his wife
disposed to further this ambition he
took his bride to Atlanta, where he set
himself up in business.
' But he did not prosper. He and his
pleasure loving wife lives) rapidly and
spent lavishly. Instead of applying i
himself to business, it Is said, he de
voted himself to pleasure. And he was
obliged to keep drawing on his wife's
resources until at last, It is asserted,
he was about to go to Philadelphia to
mortgage their last piece of property,
their only remaining asset, when he was
shot.
In a letter to his wife, shortly before
their marriage, Grace made this con
fession: "I have been a rank failure
and can truthfully say It was caused by
woman."
Also in another letter to his wife he
wrote: "What I have witnessed, and
I say this absolutely free of a 'senti
mental Xeeling. has been a revelation
to me in that It shows the finish of such
fast living to be death. I shall never
again be misled by the sweet silver
tongue of an accomplished, morally per
verted woman into the depths of de-
jpravlty. Neither shall I again drink
