caxo cabaret girl, who tells why iiie dls-

Isn't it queer how some people forget
their self-respect-away from their own
set?
Isn't it queerer how they will go out OF
their way to find place where they can
forget it?
There are those who think they are
perfectly Independent of public opinion !;
that they are superior TO gossip; that
they are not bound by conventions. In
fact, these are pet theories OF some OF the
most advanced thought" of the time.
And isn't it the very queerest thing
in the world how some of this advanced
thought bitches right on to the most
thoughtless modern life?
All of which queer things remind US
that the conventions have an antique
value as safeguards of character.
Conventions are the result OF the ex-
perience of successive generations of the
men and women who have raised the race
from savagery TO civilization.
