DRUNKENNESS AMONG WOMEN.
English Statistics Prove II Is Greatly on tho

English temperance societies have discovered 70
their dismay that. while the nation's drink bill
was less last year by about S0Oooco than Il was
the year before, the habit OF drinking is incress-
ing among women The population at large Doesn't
average much intempersuces but women aver
age more. which the temperance societies consider
bad lookout for the homes.

agreed that drinking had decreased among the edu-
Gated and busy classes OF women. that Il was in
