There are two classes of enterprise which are peculiarly associated with what may be termed submissive immorality for the purpose of legitimate employment. In the one class the victim’s downfall finds its beginning in connection with theatrical aspirations, whereas in the other class it is indirectly brought about by the demands of fashion. There is reason to believe that a well-formed, good-looking girl, who is anxious to get on the stage will often only accomplish her desire by first submitting to sexual intercourse with her prospective employer. This is not always so, naturally, but it is a general custom in some quarters. In many, if not in most cases, submission means the seduction of a previously virtuous girl. The condition precedent to a theatrical engagement, more particularly on the “musical comedy” stage, is, therefore, of such a character that the harshest measures are needed to put it down. The whole process is iniquitous. On the one hand, there is an eager, inexperienced young woman, foolish enough to want to go on the stage, and on the other, there is a calculating scoundrel who regards her as his certain prey. The second important variation to the offence of carnally knowing a woman, through the influence of her employment, frequently arises in West End milliners’ shops. The employment by male _costumiers_--that is to say, at the most fashionable shops--of attractive young women, who, for their figures and appearance, are chosen as models to display Paris hats and costumes, gives rise to a whole series of iniquitous conditions which would shame the most indecent novel. Models of the sort referred to are generally subjected to much the same treatment as the “musical comedy” aspirants, but there is this difference--that the former usually obtain the engagement before the “cloven hoof” of their employer begins to show itself. The searchlight of vigilance would consume itself were it applied to half the subjects which pass through one’s mind as suitable for attack. That is to say, in connection with submissive immorality for the purpose of legitimate employment. II. ACCESSION AND CORONATION DECLARATIONS AND OATHS This little work would, perhaps, be incomplete without some mention of the Accession Declarations and Coronation Oaths. It is first proposed to incorporate here the “Declarations of Heads of States” which declarations were collected and ordered to be printed by the House of Commons in May, 1901. GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. I. _Declaration made by the King, on his Accession, in the House of Lords, pursuant to section 1 of the Bill of Rights 1 W. & M. sess. 2, c. 2_.
