DRINKING WOMEN.
The Intempearance OF the Fair
Sex Exposed.

Mothers That is the need Of this
country and OF this time. As go
the mothers, so go the children. 1t
IS natural that the children should
follow the mother and not the faith

influence is the most potential infu

poorly attended? 1t is because the
mothers have turned aside from

lie cast the eyiLspirits out of the
women. In no age are they more
exposed to them, and the chief
among them is the evil spirit of in
temperance. An intoxicated wo-
man is a pitiabIe and forbidding
sight. But they do not often eX-
pose themselves in public when in
such condition. They drink in
their homes A short time ago ap-
plication was made for q license to
open liquor store in one of the
most fashionable naighborhoods Of
Brooklyn in q fine brown-stone
house. 1t was explained that il
was intended to establish, not an or
dinary liquor store, but q family
room, where women could send for
ale and wine and liquors. If those
who applied for their license were
not sure that they would obtain Gus
tom, they would not ask it. The
devil is smart; he is very smart. In
the Garden of Eden he began with
Eve, and, by appealing to her vani-
ty, succeeded. 1t is so to-day.
Women spend more money for kid
glovss alone than is required to sup
port all our churches. | would not
dare mention the sum that is spent
for artificial flowers. Satan rules in
the kingdom Of fashion,
AT present there are 100000
men on Strike. This is largely due
to dissipation. They had good
wages and had it not been for dissi-
patton they might have saved
money. 1t is wonderful how man
can get along if he does not drink;
but man cannot be prOvidcnt if he
has not q thrifty wife. A bad wo-
man is a terrible ally Of the devil.
In England and in Scotland ! have
seen women walk into bars and
drink liquor as if they enjoyed it,
Here Trey do not do that to such an
extent, but they send out for liquor
and drink it in their homes. There
are hundreds Of liquor saloons sus-
tanned by their family entrances
The evil exists, although like the
malaria Uncertain beautiful portions
OF Long Island and Staten Island,
it cannot be seen. Its effects are
visible. Tie police records show
that more men than women are ar
rested for INVESTIGATION, vet more
women Than men drink. One
cause Of this is the desire of women
to be like men-to share their pleas
ures. Young women go to Concy
Island and there drink wine and
beer and liquor. In eating saloons
they drink Yesterday | saw TWEEN
ty women sitting in an, eating sa-
loon dri king ale IF the mother
drank, the children will also drink,
and this intemperance is spreading.
Another cause is womans weak
ness. Physicians advise them to
drink as a remedy for this, and thus
acquire taste for liquors. The
daughters Of some Of the best fami-
lies have thus become drunkards.
Z know one elegant house in which
it is necessary to confne as a pris
Oner the beautiful young daughter,
lest she should 90 out and become
drunk; and this vice leads to all
others. It has been truly said that
there would be no brothels if the
fires of lust were not Hndled by
wine, A young girl came to me
lately and confessed that she was
one Of the lost, and she did not
seem to be much worried about il.
She had been taken to a theatre,
and afterward went to a saloon,
where she drank wine. Thence she
was taken to a house Of designation,
and is now leading a precarious ex-

been living to-day had she not drank
wine offered to her by a degraded
woman. This evil Of intemperance
may be found in homes where its

to find ,Womans aid is needed in
combating. it. Generally, women
confne their efforts to reforming
