DRINKING HABITS OF WOMEN
Perturbed Physical Conditions Given
as Main Causes-Its Results
Are Dreadful.

Inebriety from a fondness for aico-
hol for It's own sake-vicious indul-
gence-is far less frequent in women
than in men, and 1t Is well that 1t Is
so. Drunkenness Is bad enough in q
man, but In a woman 1t is even more
pitiable. and, II It be possible, more
far-reaching and more dreadful in it's
results. With women 1t would, we
think, be safe to say that the origin
of the drink habit lies In perturbed
physical conditions-in fact. that 1t Is
a disease, and not a mere moral obli-
guilty, as many would have us believe.
The consequences of alcoholism In wo-
men are not so quickly evident as In
men. In the earlier stages of In
ebriety in those cases In which there
Is wv of volition. a peculiar shrink
ing from publicity protects some wo-
men against the symptoms noted
among men at a like period. Two
causes may be given for the lapse OF
women into inebriety. First Is the
ervous condition due to lack of nu-
triton and the rel and worry Of do
nestle life and the demands of so
ciety-an exhaustion for which relief
Is mistakenly sought in the transient
aid of alcohol; secondly. the pain and
unrest incident to disorders of their
sex. for which solace is sought in the
anaesthetic and paralyzing effects of
alcohol. In the first place, the woman
who flies to drink must be unaware or
unmindful of the fact that its taking
involves a great risk of creating a
morbid condition that often finds ex.
preston in constant inebriety. In the
second case, the so-called solace, with
startling and sorrowful frequency.

Swiss Girls as Golf csddies.

Girls are employed as caddies on
the Aigle links, in Switzerland, and
they are said to do their work unusual

such work by American clubs. In
Switzerland the girls are decidedly
picturesque In their native costumes
They are considered preferable to
boys by old men, because they never
laugh when a golfer makes a bad
shot or smashes a stick This is con
sidered a boon, for urchins on the
American links take a m.schievous
delight in the wrath of a discounted
golfer. In America and England,
however, It is argued a girl cannot
stand the strain of the work of q
caddy. It is said girls have neither
the strength nor the sporting instinct

ALCOHOL AND RACE SUICIDE
Two Noted Scientists Give Their
Views of Strong Drink
and Its Effects.

In an address at Philadelphia, DR..
I. A. MacNicholl, surgeon at the Red
Cross hospital. New York. presented
this striking comparison in the study
of two separate groups Of families:
Through a long line of successive
generations l have made a study OF
two separate groups of families One
group, children of drinking parents;
one group of children of abstaining
parents.
I'm ten families of drinking habits
there were 55 children. Thirty died
in infancy, three of heart disease.

"Of the children of total abstaining
families, 80 per cent were normal; OF
the total of children of drinking par.

Eighty per cent of the children OF
regular drinkers have commissions

Dress Trimming.

A charming Paris model for an aft
ernoon gown was seen recently. which
depended for its adornment entirely
upon a sort of fagoting of self-mate-
rial. The gown wa5 a light fawn-
colored challis. and on tunic, under
skirt and girdle and down the front
of the blouse the material was slash
ed and reconnected by crossed inter-
sections of the challis. rolled tight in
to tubular pieces and sewed to
straight bands SO as to give the APP
pearance of fagoting, or of catstitch.
The same effect has been seen in
silk. and it is very pretty on a rather
thick material. though not suited to
fabrics very thin or delicate in ap-
~pearance.

er, died, he went out West and turned
