Little girls dressed up as Dominicans

On the international website of the Dominican Order there is reference to the 'best of the web' which is a story written by a young Dominican from the United States on his thoughts about wearing the Dominican habit. However, he does realise it is not practical to wear it when swimming.

Included in the piece is a picture of two little girls, maybe six-years of age, wearing Dominican habits.

The picture is most inappropriate and indeed quite rediculous. One would wonder what's the significance of the picture.
