York WOrl

Following this sermon with a direct
statement to the Sunday World, DR..
Haywood says:
u say without hesitation that the
New York woman Of to-day is drag
gins down moral standards, not only
sex, but for the men among whom she
moves and whom she endeavors to at
tract by means to which her mother
and her grandmother would never
have stopped. If her influence did
not extend beyond the confines of
Manhattan Island the situation would
be less appalling, but, alas, she is
selected as a model by women all
over the country, women who see her
in her environment or as a guest in
their home towns or who read of her
eccentricities. her attractiveness, her
daring, in the public press and period
icals of all sorts. Indirectly as well
as directly she thus becomes a source
of contamination.
New York may well be termed a
Babylon. It is poisoning the very
foundation of our national social
health by drawing women of other
cities to itself-and away from the
wholesome standards, forms ard hab-
its of generations past.
THE women of the household are
responsible for the moral slough of
New York. Take the single question
of where the family OF the typical
New Yorker shall live. For the sake
of his children the husband and fa-
Their would be quite willing to live
In zoe suburbs, enduring all the incon-
~veniertes of committing. But his
wife will not bury herself in the
deadly d~ullness' of a quiet suburb.
She wants to be where she can see
and be seem. She demands excite
ment, the social life and the night
life peculiar to this city. She insists,
In fact, on being In the swim, and
being in the swim in New York she
imagines means indulging in all sorts
of dissipation, not only in private,
but in public, so that all who come
may see that she knows just what
smart" women are doing.
Concerning the modern habits of
women, let us first consider smoking.
! hold that smoking, especially cigar
cts, leads women to a far lower point
of degradation than drinking. Many
q man or woman who drinks is not
morally bad, but the average man or
woman addicted to cigaret smoking
betrays a moral standard that is ap-
palling. strikes a criminal note that
is shocking and shows a decided ten
dency toward degeneracy. And fig
ures go to show that more women are
smoking cigarets in New York to-day
than they ever have before.
Drinking follows cigaret smoking,
and the combination is fearful. WON
en- who indulge in these two habits
can wreck a community's morals, for,
remember, the old generation Is dis
appearing. and the oncoming genera
ton will look to the woman Of to.

"And what sort Of an example does

n MAY be old-fashioned, yet I am
continually engaged in questions
of the day. / see and hear things,
and participate in affairs that in
terest the public. But my old-fash-
toned views inspire these comments
on DR.. Haywood's interview:
The trouble with New York women
is their lack Of interest In their
home surroundings. They feel no in
terest whatever in their homes. Home
is a place to sleep, perhaps even to
eat In when the bank account runs
low and they cannot spend the accus-
toned amount in public restaurants.
In many households there is little
love of family. Women do not wish
to have children. This condition in
itself is enough to wreck the morals
Of a country, for no matter how bad
the woman if she has a child the
spark of goodness and womanliness
still burns. On the other hand, the
woman who deliberately shuns the
motherly duty becomes hard and bad
at heart.
This lack of home ties leads to dis
sipation. The idle wife must be
amused. Once she begins to drink
she is forever restless. The world
holds not enough to divert her. She
must go out every night and then to
supper and to drink some more. She
must lunch and dine here, there and
everywhere and liquor accompanies
every meal.
Her home bores her. She escapes
from it as every opportunity. She. is
off with other men because they 44n.
terest her for the moment and furnish
excitement. She begins to regard her
husband as a human bank account,
and resents the situation when she
finds she has overdrawn her account.
This condition nine times out of ten
will end with divorce. To-day, even,
divorce in the eys Of some women is
a diversion. 1t gives them something
to do. It furnishes excitement to
jaded sensibilities.
Smoking represents exaggerated
stimulation Of minds and bodies. vul-
garity in dress is the natural result
Of the woman's deadened sense Of de-
cency.
When a woman drinks she turns
reckless. Her first -recklessness may
hardly be apparent even to herself,
but gradually it becomes more
marked. AS a result she will say any
thing she desires; she will do any
thing, no matter how disgusting, that
she wishes to do, and she will wear
the most outrageous clothes imagin-
able.
Analyze the nervous, high-strung
woman Of to-day, the woman who
faunts her petty vices in the face OF
society, and you will find that the
word "home' means nothing to her.
