A HIGH and heroic tale comes
~ from small town in Indiana,
\ = where the girls have arisen as
one woman, and are making stahu
against the deadbeat beau
According to reports from the seat Oh
war. the young women of the town
have organized Bachelor Girls clpo'
with constitution and bylaws directed
specifically against the Sunday night
caller and the young man who never
makes good.
One of the iron-bound rules OF the
organization provides that no MEMBER
can accept the attentions OF young
man to church unless he has accom-
named her. or some other MEMBER Oh
the club. to a social function "hele
the cost of entertainment was not
borne by the hostess
Another rule is that under no clrcum-
stances shall any member of the CLUB
accent the attentions of that class Oh
Young men who always show up Oh
Sunday night. generally about supper
time. and who never hear of theateI
or any entertainment where they Will
be called upon to spend dollar
4 Declaration Of Rights
Deadly attention is also called to the
voung men-and the double cross Is TO
be- given them=who always take FlSlI-
ing girls out buggy riding and senu
them boxes of candy, but VINO seem 10
think the home girls prefer 10 WAN
and have no sweet teeth
This Bachelor Girls club is decla-
ration of women's rights that meets
long felt want, and it Is to De hopeu
that other girls in other places VIII
follow the shining example 1T sets. II
is high time that girls snouId sho"
some independence in the matter oi
beaux. and teach young men that IL Is
an honor and a privilege to be permit

sic language of the ragtime d1tty'
.-1rhey Don't Want No Cheap Man
Around"
one of the most pathetic and humlli-
atine things on earth is the frantlc anu
senseIess craving that the majority OF
Young women have for the afternoons
of men. and the servile efforts theS
will make to get them GIFTS set lIie
measure of each others success, ana
a1-er their own. on the number of beaux
they have and in order to have lot OF
Youths dangling after them there is no
sort of treatment, short or actual IN
suit. that they will not endure
A girl may be pretty and dainty, ou'
she will stand for an uncouth door pc
cause he is a man. She may be lntelA-
gnet and well educated, but she VIII lei

Because They Are Men.
She will work like a coal HEAVIER 10
entertain the dull and silent; she Will
suffer a martyrdom from the endless
maunderings of the senile; she will
listen apparently enraptured to the
babbIing of infants; she Will smile
while the awkward trample over her
feet and tear off her skirt, because
they are men.
Look about you wherever you goat
the theater, in restaurants, on the
street cars, wherever men and women
are together, and it's the woman VINO
is gurgling and enthusing and making
all the effort TO entertain and make
the occasion go, while the man sits up
and suffers himself to have incense
burned before him and his lordly SELF
diverted 1t is a sickening spectacle.
Worse than that, girls show no pride
in their dealings with men, They allow
a man to blow hot and to blow cold;
to rush them now and neglect them
again and when the man chooses to
do the prodigal beau act and return to
them they go out with rejoicings 10
meet him and fall upon his neck and
Stay not only the fatted calf in his
honor but set out ice cream and angels
food before him.
Half of the girls have so little self
respect that when a man condescends
to correspond with them they write
two letters to his one and ten pages
to his hastily scrawled note. More
there are even girls who hold them
selves so cheaply that they call up men
on the telephone and demand to know
