Mothers: Dress Your Flapper Daughters Modestly, May 10, 1922

A Grand Jury Address

The grand jury, setting in Pasquotank county, recently gave advice as follows:

“If mothers will look after their Flapper daughters and see that they are most modestly dressed, these girls will not be subjected to rude remarks from the male apes who assemble on street corners to watch the afternoon parade of silk hosiery.”
