DRINK HABIT AMONG WOMEN
Americans Consume More Liquor Than
Do Their English Sisters--Much
Of II Is Done Openly.

American women drink as much as,
n not more than. English women. ac.
cording to Dr. John d. Quackenbos.
who has made study OF the ques.
tion. Unlike DR. Murray Leslie. Lon.
don physician, who asserted that there
Is far more secret drinking among
women than his generally known. Or,
Quackenbos says that In America
women make no effort to conceal their
drinking, but proclaim their oyerfond.
ness for highballs, cocktails aud cham.
pagne by indulging to excess IN pub
lie cafes, restaurants and the big ho-
tells. Smoking, too, he says. is a vice
coupled with the drink habit that is
working havoc among women as we'll
as girls.
There is not so much secret drink
Ing here as In England" Dr. Quacken.
bos said. because women can be seen
any night drinking what they fancy
and without trying to keep any one
from knowing what they are drinking.
American women IA doing anything
good or bad generally go TO extremes.
and my experience In New York shows
It is very difficult to control the drink
habit among them because OF their un.
willingness to make any social sacri.
! fees.
For instance, they keep going to so.
clal functions where punch and other
alcoholic drinks are served. and they
give wine dinners themselves They
will play with fire and tempt Proyl.
dence continually. There ia one won.
an now who is a patient OF mine who
will take as many as ten glasses OF
brandy at sitting And the most un.
fortunate thing about II Is that the
habit is developing among young girls,
and debutantes at their luncheons and
dinners couple It with smoking Gig
arettes and playing games Of chance
for money.
THE women OF the middle classes
in America drink beer. but not to eI.
cess. as a rule. It Is a custom to
have beer with dinners, and II the
stuff were pure the harm would be less
than II IS
But tobacco Is doing just as much
harm as alcohol for the two go to-
gether And ! know that too much
tobacco leads to too much alcohol
because the tobacco habit depresses
the nerve centers and causes de
mand in the system for an antidote
and tho antidote for tobacco poison Is
whisky.
Il can safely say that 70 per cent
OF the drink troubl~ among men, and
women. too, is due to tobacco. Where
women are not so particular about
concealing the fact that they drink
they are careful TO conceal the fact
that they smoke.
Il know that many raise the ques
tlon as TO whether woman hasn't as
much right to smoke as man. II
doesn't turn on the question OF moral
right The answer turns on the eff
feet smoking has on the woman's char
acter. II destroys womanliness."

German Social Life.

Writing on German social life In
the English press recently, Sir Henry
Johnston says: 81 am told by so
many thoughtful Germans that the
abuse of alcohol stlll strangles the
mental and physical efficiency OF a
large proportion of German men In
the upper and lower classes, that /
am compelled to believe in an evil
which is only Just lessening its hold
over our own people, and which Is be-
ing fiercely chased out OF tho United
States. Yet | am pleased to state
that never encountered n drunken
person in Germany throughout my re
cent tour, though was aware from
the newspapers and reviews that a
growing indignation was making IT.

professional classes against the
senseless eighteenth-century tradi'

VARIETY IN FALL COLLARS
Simple and Effective Designs Seen In
Latest Offerings of Dame
Fashion.

A large variety OF collars is being
shown for fall While the newer mod
els do not show the regulation sailor
collar, many are made with the new
shaped sailor. which almost reaches to
the waist line, but is considerably mar
rover than the old style Large,
round collars and pointed collars are
also much in evidence
Hoods and hood effects are meeting
with considerable success. Some OF
the coats have the collars made so as
to have an adjustable hood which can
be used to cover the head, when de-
sired. When unbuttoned It forms a
sailor collar.
Double collars, consisting of deep
cape collar coming over the shoulders
and small rundown collar, usually
of another material, are also seen In
the lines. While the majority of coats
have the rundown collar, a, few are
made with the standing military col
lar.
