A society of New York women has de-
cided to ostracise all women who play
bridge whist, who wear decollete gowns,
who have been divorced. or who use liquor
other than wines at the table. Their con-
domination is too sweeping to be effective.
Public sentiment may at length declare di-
vorces bad form; ethical progress may ban
ish gambling; and even the seductive cock
tail and the joyous highball may no longer
be considered the thing in polite society;
but decollete gowns will never go as long
as necks are plump and shoulders round
and white. If it We're closely looked into it
would no doubt be found that that particu-
lar sin was prescribed by women whose
collar-bones are prominent.
