TIPPING IN THE COUNTRY
PRACTICE QUITE COMMON
A ND DE S NO HAIR

While statistics prove that inebriety
as disease is on the decrease among
all classes of society the habit Of tip.
ping has become more fixed among
the men and women of the leisure
class than ever before
This is largely due to the house par
ty, which has become a popular feat
ure of American social life. The coun-
try air lacks the microbe of continu-
GUS excitement which is a part of life
in town, and among the horsey set,
both men and women, this lack is
made up for by the amazing number
of bracers, appetizers and stimulants
of all sorts.
The outdoor pastimes, the drive and
the gallop across country are all pre-
faced and finished by some alcoholic
refreshment of the really smart"
house party.
Fashionable men and women are
seasoned to the pace that they keep
up while enjoying the delights of a
trip out of town. The close compan-
ionship of the house party, and the
sports that are now so generally in
dulged in by men and women, playing
against each other on an even footing
as to sex, have brought about a con-
dition regarding the drinking of wines
and other refreshments by women
which a few years ago would have
been considered extremely lax.
In other words, drinking among
women, playing against each other on
an even footing as to sex, have
brought about condition regarding
the drinking of wines and other re-
freshments by women which a few
years ago would have been considered
extremely lax
In other words, drinking among
women has become fashionable, but
1t seems to have lost all of it's old sig
nificance as a vice. Neither among
men nor among women is there any
tendency toward OVERRIDING, for the
lines in this respect are drawn more
strictly than ever in society as in the
clubs.
The furore that is frequently raised
as to the increase in the habit of
drinking among women is largely a
tempest in teapot, for with frank
ness in the matter the custom has lost
its Importance The hidden vice is al
ways the dangerous one.
