CHICAGO, March 11.-Parents
Of the male flapper are holding in
dignation meetings throughout Chi
cago to protest against "vamping''
of their poor defenseless sons by
sweet young things still in their
teens.
How to curb ''pet parties" the
popular pastirne of the younger
generation everywhere, it SENS, &C.
cupied most of the discussionI at
the convention of social hygiene
associations at which were repre-
scented the Chicago Woman's club,
the Woman's City club, the Parent
Teachers association and other
prominent women's organizations.
The girls are to blame for all
the "petting' or "snugglepupping"
that is going on, it was decided.
DIR. Rachelle Yarros, chairman
Of the convention, voiced the senti-
ment of the gathering when she
said:
'It is always the girl who leads
the way, either for good or for i'll.
If she does not maintain the stand
ard, how can one expect the boy
to do SO. She holds the situation
in her hand. It is she who started
flapperism and it is she who must
end it."
To Miss Lillian Collier young and
pretty proprietor of the Wind Blew
inn, credit is due for coming snug
glepupping" as a new word for fu-
ture dictionaries. Since she used
1t in court recently after the raiding
of the center of Bohemian activity
in Chicago, it has been generally
accepted here as synonym for
"petting."
"There is no snugglepupping at
the Wind Blew inn" she announced
so emphatically that she was allow
ed to keep her house open until it
was raided against for disorderiy
conduct. 1t is open again now I'M
der an injunction.
But whether or not there Is
"snugglepupping' at the Wind Blew
inn parents recognize there is plen.
ty of it going on right under their
noses.
Among those who held mothers
Of these dangerous" young flap
pers responsible for the situation at
the recent convention was Mrs. Jul
Illus Rosenwald. wife Of the presi-
dent of Sears Roebuck and COM
pany.
''Unless mothers can make their
girls realize the harmfulnesS OF
'petting parties how can they ex-
pect the girls to learn it outside?"
asked Mrs. Rosenwald. "A girl is
branded as a 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 es-
sential facts and teach them at
home the value of maintaining
some degree of dignity in their &C
TONS"
But girls like to be called "snpg'
glepuppies." walled al 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 flat
tires
What have the girls TO say dpoue
it? They admit that they have
modern ideas. Students of the Chi
cago school Of physical education
say frankly that they wouldn't
think Of going to a party with a
young man unless he took them az
least one way in taxi.
In this school which annually
turns out one hundred teachers OF
physical training, where the delsart
movement takes precedence over
shimmying, where smoking is not
permitted because it injuries the
health and where, by faculty state
ment, there is neither corset nor
a bad habit in the school, the girls
frankly admit that no young man
can prove his devotion save to the
tune of $40 to $25 an evening.

a week, Friday and Saturday, an
nounced a bobbed haired senior, and
those nights we don't want to sit
at home. There is too much to do
and see in the city.
'If a man wishes the pleasure OF
our society, he has to go out and
spend something beside the evening.
If he hasn't a car Of his own he
had better get a taxi"
So there you are.
