AN IMPORTANT MOVE

If the latest news from New York
Is true-and We have assurance that
1t is-a new society fad that has just
been taken up there is going to be a
most important thing. We are told
that the debutantes-yOung girls just
entering society-in New York city
have banded together and pledged
themselves that they will not associ-
ate with pipsQucaks. A pipsqueak. In
their jargon. is youth who does not
work-a youth who loafs all day and
dances all night, who labOrs In no vine
yard and treads no winepress, who nh
hors job and frcwns upon eXertion.
The New York society buds, we are
told. have determined that young men
with whom they dance and play In
their hours of leisure must be work
ers-men who toll and earn.
This Is great news. 1t may be a
fad for the moment but II is so sessi-
bic that 1t is bound to endure and to
spread to other cities and society cir
cles.
If the desirable women Of the coun-
try will agree among themselves that
they will have nothing to do with men
who do not work, there will he mighty
little idleness. Every man will get a
job and hold 1t. And this will cure
most of the ones that we are now COM
planning of.
