English men and women, and you would
be surprised TO learn how enormously
its use has increased of late. Formerly
ladies would not think Of going into a
restaurant and ordering liquor, but now
IL is a common thing for them to do.
and my opinion Is that the liking for it
started from their desire TO be cornpan-
ionable 10 men
Liquors. too, which are just as bad
as cock tails, are always seen at dinner,
and they are almost as strong a habit
with one sex as with the other. / ac-
count for this by the fact that II is no
longer the custom for the ladies 10
leave the dinner table before the coffee
is brought on, and If they stay for that
they stay for whatever follows, and
little urging induces them to try liquors.
From this II is only step to smoking.
Women are not predisposed 70 smoke
or drink. They do IT because men do.
THE cigarette habit has taken
strong hold on women at home, especial
~ among superior classes. Society
ladies think nothing of smoking, and
with the love OF cigarettes comes the in
creased desire for liquors. 1t must be
said Of the society woman IN England
that though she may take her liquor,
and she may smoke her cigarette, she
knows enough not to do either to ex-
cess"
An Street broker was asked among
ctsers TO give his opinion. He dsclEped
The Washington times., 1903-10-18

that his observation led him to believe
that society women take less liquor now
than ever before
For one thing" he said. 1.-The women
have found out that such drinks are bad
for them, and they have the good sense
to give up habit. II II can be called
one, which eventually causes Illness and
discomfort. Vanity is the other reason
for the abstinence practiced nowadays
There IL nothing like wine to put fat
on one. and when II comes TO gaining
undesirable weight a woman would
rather deny herself a pleasure than
spoil her :igure and good looks.
There is scarcely anything worse on
the nerves than certain wines or a mix
ture of cordials. and so when the wo-
men OF today who are fond OF sports
and athletics found. as men have. that
they are in far better form II they do
not drink. they sensibly chose the sports
without the liquor.
at Is utterly impossible for them to
keep up the social strain If they indulge
in much wine. so many OF them have
followed the example OF a large number
Of clubmen and have gone on the water
wagon.
Cocktail drinking is greatly exagger-
ated. according TO my notion. At large
dinners II Is seldom seen, and only Oc-
caSiOnally at small informal ones for
four or five, where Martins and Nam
hattans serve to pass the time pleas
The Washington times., 1903-10-18

them, that I am sure the cigarette will
eventually go the same way as have
cocktails and heavy wines.
81 have come to the conclusion that
women, proper minded women, never
drink anything alcoholic" is tho state
ment made by a well-known physician
in II Street northwest
There are women who do drink, so
II is u question OF whether there Is a
diminution Of the number of ladies in
our country since the fact remains that
there IS an astounding increase in the
drinking done today, especially OF those
little and apparently harmless mixtures
which begin and end the fashionable
dinner. The reason for this increase OF
drink is the increase of wealth and de-
crease of Intellectual powers.
Women are idlers. In our Eastern
cities they are becoming unsexed, and
while not gaining the good qualities Of
men they are taking up the bad ones.
Drink in moderation is so little IN
furious that 1t is impossible to determine
what effect IL has upon the health.
do not think that Il makes any differ
ence IL woman takes a liquor now and
then. but YOU cannot trust a woman.
The habit is generated, and when she
goes home she has her own private
still, and that is what does the great
harm. In regard TO liquors, all alcohol
is bad, and particularly when mixed
with sugar. ca the other hand, the only

except those OF the liver. and when the
practice Of drink Is continued long
enough, though ii may be done in a
way that is not excessive, the face will
become red and ugly and the nerves
disturbed. That is the inevitable end
of the woman who takes her cocktail
and liquor, even though she begins in
moderation, for 1t is difficult Cor most
women TO keep at that middle point"
There is no diversity Of opinion
about the fact that the cocktail and
liquor habit is growing among our
women" declared Mrs. L. OF Du-
pOnt Circle. I'VE all know the predi-
lection OF men for the flowing bowl. but
this indiscriminate use OF liquor by
women Is something to be deplOred,
and its most deplOrable phase IS the
drinking among unmarried girls and
women. Age seems 10 make not the

antly while the little company is wait
ing. is it considered the thing to serve
them. The name cocktail seems to have
acquired a certain unattractive signifi-
canoe which has helped to make It un-
popular.
AS for liquors, they, too, are seldom
seen at dinners, unless IL be creme de
menthe, which is probably taken as gem
orally by women as by men, for the ex-
cellent reason that 1t is n rare aid to
digestion. One thinks no moro OF drink
ing a tiny glass or this liquor than OF
swallowing a pepsin tablet. You know
tablets are passed around now and have
become as much a feature OF a dinner
as the wine
But If liquor and cocktail drinking is
decreasing among the feminine sex,
there is one vice which is Increasing to
marked degree, and that is cigarette
smoking. Cigarettes are worse on the
nerves than any kind OF drink.
Street Brokers' Opinion.
1.-THE danger of smoking lies in inhaI-
ing, and IL women ever acquired that
part of the habit we might soon look
10 see them develop into nervous
wrecks. Let them drink their creme
de menthe and occasionally a cocktail

them n great injustice TO hint such a
thing. On the other hand. IT is gem
orally agreed that the insidious cocktail
and the insidious cordial are slipped by
many fair lips. but whether or not they
are taken in a proportion 20 warrant
their being styled a habit can only be
learned by careful investigation

Mixed Drink Habit Growing.
THE cocktail habit has grown vastly
in recent years. said the first man 20
whom the inquiry was put. but did not
know that women were addicted 70 It.
The mixture, which is distinctly Ameri-
can, makes a delightful drink, but I
should say a dangerous one for women.
IT IS not well known in England even
now, and remember my first experience
in tasting one. 1t was with the present

and there he offered me the new Ameri-
can drink, a cocktail II was most en-
ticing and we took two apiece.
