THE MALE FLAPPER
IS NOW BEING VAMPED
SWEET YOUNG THINGS" IN
TEENS ARE BLAMED BY
PARENTS OF BOYS.
SAY GIRLS LEAD ASTRAY
Chicago Parents of "Deferseless Sons
Discuss Measures to Protect Them.
"Snuggle Pupping" Parties Are Too
Popular, 1t Is Said.

CHICAGO, Ill.-Parents OF the
male fiapper are holding indignation
meetings throughout Chicago to pro-
test against "vamping" OF their poor
defenseless sons by sweet young
things still in their teens.
How to curb 'pettlng parties, the
popular pastime OF the younger gen
Grafton everywhere, 1t seems, occupied
most Of the discussion at the conven-
ton OF social hygiene associations at
which were reported the Chicago Wo-
mans Club, the Woman's City Club,
the Parent Teachers Club and other
prominent women's organizations
The girls are to blame for all the
"petting" or "snuggle puppng" that is
going on, it was decided.
Up to the Girls, She Says.
DIR. Rachel1e Yaryos, chairman OF
the convention, voiced the sentiment
OF the gathering when she said:
1T is always the girl who leads the
way, either for good or for i'll. II she
docs not maintain the standard how
can one expect the boy to do so? She
holds the situation in her hands. 1t is
she who started fiapperism and it IS
she who must end 1t.
To Miss Lillian Collier, young and
pretty proprietor of the Wine Blew
Inn, credit is due for coming snug
gle pupping" as new word for tu-
ture dictionaries. Since she used it in
court recently after the raiding OF the
center OF Bohemian activity in Chica-
go it has been generally accepted here
as a synonym for ''petting."
There is no 'snuggle pupping' at
the Wind Blew Inn she announced
so emphatically that she was allowed
to keep her place upon until it was
raided again for permitting disorderly
conduct 1t is open again now under
an injunction.
But whether or not there is Snug
gle pupping' at the Wind Blew Inn
parents recognize that there is plenty
of it going on right under their noses.
Call Flapper Dangerous.
Among those who held mothers OF
these dangerous" young fappers re-
sponsible for the situation at the re-
4 cent convention was Mrs. Julius Ro-
senwald wife of the president OF Sears,
1 Roebuck & Co.
! unless lUOtneTS CAN Hldke lliCl
girls realize the harmfulness of pet
ting parties how can they expect the
girls to learn it outsider" asked Mrs.
! RosenWald.
"A girl is branded as poor sport
and no fun at all if she does not do
as the other girls do. Mothers should
open their daughters eyes to certain
Essential facts and teach them at homo
the value of maintaining some degree
of dignity in their actions"
But girls like to be called 'snugglc
Puppies, walled a careworn principal
of a city school. They grant the boys
liberties. encourage them to take them
and if the young chaps do not follow
the pace they are called Sissies, poor
boobs or fiat tires"
What Girls Say.
What have the girls to say about it?
Students OF the Chicago school OF
physical education say frankly that
| they would not think of going to a
party with young man unless he
took them at least one way in taxi.
In this school which annually turns
out 100 teachers of physical training
the girls frankly admit that no young
man can prove his devotion save to
the tune of $40 to SIS an evening.
If a man wishes the pleasure OF our
society" said one girl, he has to go
out and spend something besides the
evening"
