GIRLS APPEALED TO.
Young Men of Topeka, KAN. Being
Ruined by Social Customs.

Miss Olivia Van Tassel, leader in
Topeka (Kan.) society, has created a
sensation by declaring that the young
society women of that town are Turing
the young men to ruin by offering them
drink when they come into their homes.
Miss Van Tassel charges the downfall
of one young man to this custom, and
she has made an appeal to the society
of women of Topeka to put away their
wine decanters and assist in saving the
young men from drunkards' graves.
She said the other night:
Il think it is just awful the way wine
is offered to young men by some of our
society women of Topeka. One young
man has been ruined by this practice
and others are on the road to ruin.
These society young women are respon-
sible for their downfall. 1t is amazing
that so many Of the young women of
this town do not object to the young
men drinking liquor, and it is still more
shocking to know that many of the
young women drink liquor themselves"
Miss Van Tassel will carry her war
into the churches and will appeal to the
parents to throw the nasty stuff into
the gutters.-The Templar.
