What! Against Veils in Girlington?

The vicar of Girlington, Bradford. Rev. George Pedley, deals in his parish magazine with the wearing by women of motor veils and shawls in church. “Many years ago,” he writes, “we forbade the us© of shawls in church. Much was said at the time, but the rule is observed. Too often a shawl is a convenient cover for an untidy head and dirty appearance. There is, however, a respectable makeshift springing up in the form of a motor veil. “There are all the signs of respectability otherwise, and therefore assurance that the person possesses hat or bonnet. “Twice lately this ‘get-up’ has been seen at the service of holy baptism. We object to it . . . because it shows a sad want of reverence.” —London Globe.
