Has  this to say about the changes in ideas of hygiene:-<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Just below  the level of full consciousness were the &#8230; changes in ideas of  hygiene. Fresh air had won and pushed its victory against the curtain,  blind, wrap and flounce so far that it began to pass the Plimsoll Line  of prudery. A new issue was then joined, and the Hygienists, who till  then had been allies of the Puritan, began to swing over towards the  libertine. &#8220;To the pure all things are pure&#8221; was extended to the rather  different and not so clear assumption that &#8220;to the naked all things are  unexciting&#8221;.<br \/>It may be true, but up to the present passion prevents  sufficient scientific experiment. What is clear is that the fresh-air  campaign had ceased to be physiological and had become psychological.  That change involved a discussion of issues much wider than costume,  though to the psychologist costume had always been a clue to  understanding the subconscious sex life. Quite sane and kindly people  went on to ask not whether clothes helped chastity but whether chastity  itself was helpful.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the First World War and into the 1920\u2019s a new passion for fresh air and sunlight overtook people.
