AF TER CUTUPS
IN SMOKY CITY
W. G. 7. U. Charges that
Young Women Engage
in Very Unbecoming
Halloween Tricks

Pittsburg. Oct. 2s.-That many fair
maidens of the Smoky City are wont
to celebrate Halloween by stripping
themselves of their maidenly reserve
and other things, and letting loose
all hold on the moral law, is the
charge made 3y women OF the oeal
w. c. T. L. who have appealed to the
mayor AID chief OF police TO do some
thing to stop the naughty cutups on
next Halloween, now only gwo days
in the cfing. "a
Many shocking stories are told OF
the actions Of pert young things who,
in past years, have donned coats,
vests aud-well, trousers.--and un-
der the influence of the strange garb
have turned themselves loose in the
gayest ot gay revels. Young ladies

der Of the gang. have quaffed their
liquor like good fellows.
In the opinion of the ladies of the
Women's Christian Temperance Un.
ion, such cnduct is "immdest and con.
ducive Of the leading astray of young
girls. The police have promised tc
put a stop to It, and IL any of the
sweet young things get too gay next
Monday night. they may find them
selves enjoying the hospitality of o

That the w. c. T. u. ladies are not
exaggerating is vouched for by @
number Of patrolmen and reporters
who assert that on Halloween last
year they witnessed scenes which
made them blush. And TO make q
Smoky Citv policeman or reporter
blush Is about as difficult a matter al
may well be imagined.
