Women Resent New
Anti Treating Law
on London East Side

Correspondence OF The Associated Press
LONDON. oct. 25.-The no-treating law
now enforced I'm the London district will
from present indications greatly decrease
drinking among women. for It is among
the women OF the lower classes that
treating is the most prevalent Even in
the most poverty stricken slums OF the
East End. woman who drinks by herself
Is considered mean, greedy and unsocial
and she Is accordingly ostracized. The
only social life among these women IS
at the public houses. At ali times Of the
day. they may be seen around the bars
or In the street IN front with beer glasses
In hand. Since the law prevents minors
entering the barrooms. the women with
babies in their arms stand outside for
their drinks. But often children tend "a
the babies while the mothers and grand
mothers are inside
The no-treating order went into effect
IN the West End and in the more respect-
able parts of London without a protest
1t was taken as a joke. and the public
houses were crowded with men buying
their last treat. But in the East End.
actual resentment was felt chiefly
among the women. They regarded It as
blow at their main source of anuse-
ment
Settlement workers count on taking
advantage Of the new liquor regulation
In the slums now. and their popularity is
growing. They were especially designed
Tor soldiers and their girls as a cheap
place to spend an evening The halls
are provided with pianos and games. and
tea and other soft drinks are sold at
