Comment
: Marson responds to the comments on The Gleaner on the dress of modern women and begins her argument with the following epigraph from Jamaican: Sound the loud trumpet o'er Jamaica's fair Isle,/ Indecency is vanquished, modesty is free to conclude: We need no victory over short skirts and bobbed hair to-day in Jamaica half as much as we need a victory over slefishness and lack of enthusiasm in our best selves and in our country. Rather let our parody read:-- Sound the loud trumpet o'er Jamaica's fair Isle/ Unselfishness is conquered--our women are free.
