ing to popular demand, are WELD
ing energetic footgear, and In
some neighborhsods 1t sounds
like loud applause In theatre,
punctuated by squeals Of out
ragged heroine of the melodrama.
Many fiappers take spunky pen
In hand and write sarcastic let
tiers 10 newspapers about being
spanked. Editors Of newspapers
do not do the spanking. Why
write to them?
Pa and ma getting much physi-
cal training out In dear old
woodshed. II Pa Is strong enough
to spank the fiapper the fam
lily maybe he can muster up
enough muscle to larrup rugs
that are hung on clothesline, but
this Is doubtful. One Is a pleas
ure and the other Is hard work.
Nature probably intended the
fiapper to be spanked and built
her accordingly, but It has taken
parents q long time to find this
out.
In some neighborhoods where
new buildings are going up,
shingles take the place Of slippers
and ara said to be much more
effective. In some towns, how
ever, there are moro fappers
than shingles. Fly-swatters, are
good and some parents have tried
using ukuleles, but the latter
make music which Is worse than
.,apperism.
One man stole his daughters
cigarettes and lipstick and she
just had to stay at home nights,
but most flappers are too clever
70 be caught that way.
Some people say that Il q the
parents who should be spanked
for letting their daughters faI
around nights, but some people
are always saying something.
Old-fashioned wooden spoon
has come back into style, also
old wooden butter paddle. One
Of propeller blades from air
plane Is also handy for flapper
spanking.
IL Is not genteel to resort to
use Of an ironing board or base
ball bat except In extreme cases.
Burned child breads fire.
Spanked fiapper breads the slip

flaps the same as usual.
Only thing that cures the flap
