Drinking Of Women.
The "tfppiing'' of fashionable women
IN New York has provoked Dr.. Henry
Smith Williams, a prominent local
practitioner, to call attention in a pub
Ito statement to the heavy price they
have to pay for the privilege of In
dulging their weakness for strong
liquor. Discussing the question, no
sums up the toll thus;
"A woman pays more z1or alcohol
than does a man.
"a woman loses her good looks
through drinking more readily than
does a man, because her looks are OF
finer character.
"She dulls her morals more easily
because she has more morals to dull.
/ "She ruins her health more quickly
because she is more highly organized.
Women are actually and innately
more moral than men from the sex
point Of view" he added. They are
by nature, and they have been made
so through all the years they were
practically property and guarded as
such. Unquestionably drink does i'm
pair the morals Of anybody, and a
woman loses more than a man. be-
cause she has more to lose.
And as for the effect of alcohol on
a woman's good looks, 1t does not need
scientist to know that a woman's
physical attractiveness is of a far more
delicate order than mans. Her skin
/ Is finer thaq a mans; her looks Of
freshness and youth more easily I'm
paired. A woman may drink a little
each day for years and not show It
for years, but sooner or later alcohol
| is bound TO destroy any claims to
beauty a woman may have. But the
main reason why q woman should not
drink is the deepest reason of ALL
DR.. Williams went on. IF additional
evidence OF the aIl-pervading infiu-
ence of alcohol is required, 1t may be
found in he thought compelling fact
| that the effects are not limited to the
/. Individual who imhibes the sicohol, but
may be passed on to her descendants
The offspring of an alcohol woman
show impaired vitality of the most
deep-seated character.
Grouse Was Married.
BY the decision of the Appellate Dr.
vision Of the Supreme Court, Daniel
Edgar Grouse. who died In 1892, leav-
| ing an estate of $4,000, 000 was not the
Emerry old bachelor the world thought
and his relatives believed him to be.
The court holds that the Countess
Potulicka was his wife and Mrs. Dor
othea Grouse McV1ckar their child by
the secret union, which was concealed
until after the death of the multi-nnil-
lionaire. Under the ruling of the court,
the daughter will receive $4,000 from
the estate and her mother about 81, 000,-
600. The balance will go TO % cousins
and other heirs who have been seeking
for many years through the courts 10
establish the fact that the Countess
had never married the deceased anl
that her daughter was not his child.
The contest has been stubbornIy
fought through the different branches
of the court until the recent final ad-
publication of the case by the Appellate
Division Grouse was widely supposed
to be a woman hater up to the time
: Of his death, and the claim put I'm
by his wife subsequent to his death
caused something Of a sensation at the
time IN New York.
