SOME FACTS FOR ALARM1sTs
Whatever May BE True Abroad, the
American Woman Is Unlikely to

"a.
Within the last week or two there has
been repetition of the general wave of
protest which goes up now and again in
different sections of the country and in
England against the evil OF intemperance
among women, which evil, the agftators
assert, is growing to appalling proper
tons. Since the beginning of the year
the wave has surged up in ali directions,
the London World creating a sensation
by an outspoken article alleging the rapid
increase of the alcoholic habit among
women Of society, and the use Of drugs
and narcotics among those of the leisure
class suffering under the strain Of idle
ness. e-1'i-
In New York Bishop Leighton Coleman,
Of Delaware, who attended The annual
meeting Of the Church Temperance So
ciety, held in this city, addressed meet
ing, making the following statement In
his remarks:
The great work Of the society for the
coming year, and in fact for the entire
century, while not neg1ecting the men, is
to reclaim the women; for I fell you that
intoxication is growing among women at
a faster rate than among men. During
the last fifty years statistics prove that
while intoxication among men has stead
lily decreased, the increase among women
has been most alarming The future of
the world depends on the mothers even
more than on the fathers, and what IS

places patronized by women there is no
drinking done during the luncheon hours.
AT the two favorite Broadway places
where women congregate, bakery and
confectioner's, both fashionable AMI
high-priced, the orders show that the
women invariably drink coffee and finish
their luncheons with ices and creams and
cakes; iced tea being popular drink DUR
ing the warm months.
Women escorted by men, who may
be seen lunching at some of the faVorite
downtown restaurants. will frequently be
observed to drink whatever wine may be
served and with the coming of the dinner
|, hour, when comparatively few women
visit the restaurants uneseorted, the Gus
! tom of wine on the table seems to be
quite general Women conform to the
masculine dictate as to the Wine that
accompanies a meal and this is the only
extent to which the alleged increase In
alcoholic intemperance may be observed
as a criterion for this country's popula-
ton of women.
Hotel proprietors and head walters
generally agree that there is more drink
ing with meals than ever before in res
taurant history, but they Insist that the
custom has become general with both
sexes, giving no preponderance to either
and It is argued by these observers that
intemperance has lessened with this gen.
eral but moderate drinking, while the
American complaint of dyspepsia is dy-
ing out Physicians have usually de-
ciared that the substitution of light
wines, ales and beers for tea, coffee and
iced water would prove beneficial to the
health of the generation, and 1t Is GER
tain that within the last twenty-five
years the country has grown out of its
national complaint, at least among the
masses. A quarter of a century ago every
farmers wife and daughter suffered from
some form of this dread complaint,
brought on by diet of hot breads, pie
and iced water, which had then gained
a place at the top of the list of American
daintie,.
The women of France, Italy, Russia
aAd England have always drunk more
than American women and have grown
more robust in consequence. Their habits
have been specially In evidence at the
hotels, where many of the notable WON,
en- of these races have stayed during
Z visits to this city. Their invariable GUS
tom has been the simple French dejeun-
er, consisting of rolls and coffee served
in their rooms on rising. followed by the
more substantial breakfast at noon, this
repast always including a light claret or
white wine. There has hardly been an
exception to this rule, which has always
been regarded as a foreign fad by hotel
people used to catering to American
women. Yet more Of these women from
