She is imprudent;
If she has a drink of milk chocolate
With some other woman's husband,
She is quite impossible
If she does not frequent receptions and
card parties,
She is exceedingly strange;
If she has ideas,
She is unsafe;
If she INDUCES in originality,
She is insane
And so she becomes a mere bundle of sup
pressions,
And survives only when she is common
place;
For if she has individuality
Her thousands of pent-up impulses and
emotions,
Struggling for expression,
And finding no outlet,
Gradually choke her.
am not exaggerating.
Imagine, then, what kind Fate it was
That directed me here.
When ] came here yesterday
fguratively got barefooted
And splashed about in the utmost abandon,
And have never experienc sd such joyl
For a whole day have been my real self,
And have spoken and done and thought as
] pleased;
And if there were only not that dread
prospect
OF pulling on my shoes and stockings again,
! could ask for no more perfect Paradise
Than Greenwich VILLAGE

A LII my life | had lived
- In a small town in Texas
Until yesteriay-when plunged headlong
Into Greenwich Village.
In other words, for quarter century

And now for the first time
] discover that there is such thing as
exhalation,
And that it is divinely satisfying.
OF course you don't believe 1t.
But when one lives in small town in
Texas
One is hemmed In by rigid wall Of con-
ventionalties,
And TO climb over it is to be locked out
eternally.
II a woman would be acceptable there,
She must first be artificial.
Her status is established by strangulation
Of the real;
For instance, If she carries parcel
She is proletarian;
II she rides horseback sensioly,
In an English suit,
She is immodest
II she walks alone at night,

He must be able TO contribute something Of
real value to the common fund. and likewise
able TO absorb some of the values offered 90

Every man must prove himself. The "thumbs

said that the action of this country

A minority report, signed by John

by the American government, but
urged that this country could make
the largest contribution to the defeat
of Germany by mobilizing it's econom-
lie and placing the greatest
amount of munitions and food sup
plies at the disposal of France and
Belgium rather than by sending an
army to Europe.
A second minority report called or
the socialist party TO oppose the war
with all the power at its command.
The majority report said in part
when Belgium was invaded the

of this country the duty of remain
