The statement has been often made
that New York society women are more
given TO drinking intoxicating liquors
than the women of any other city in the
country. This is unquestionabiy true if
the range Of comparison be limited TO
northern and western places, says the
sun. 1t may be that the traditional use
of liquor in the South brings its cities
nearer TO the mark. One thing, however.
is absolutely certain, and that is that in
no city in the United States. san Fran
cisco, perhaps. excepted, is there so
general a public indulgence in wine by
women as in New York. San Francisco,
furthermore, is not exactly a parallel
case, for the class of women who drink
in public there are Of a distinctly

with alcohol in IL, to satisfy their mad
craving. And then they die in delirium
