has been talking it over with
some of his friends lately and
has given us his conclusions:
MY DEAR MISS ROBINSON:
A few days ago a group OF
young men, whose ages ranged
from twenty-five to thirty, were
arguing as to whether or not a
young woman can drink intoxi-
eating liquor and still be consid-
cred a perfect lady" and entirely
respectable. One portion of this
group maintained that a young
woman who habitually drinks in
toxicating liquor makes herself
common and subject to ridicule,
and might even be misjudged,
while the other, the greater num-
Der, insisted that by doing 20 she
merely indicates that she is a.
good sport and this should not
to any degree affect ones respect
for or judgment Of her.
The writer holds the former
view. Please understand the ques.
ton is not whether she has the
right to drink intoxicating liquor,
for all agreed to a man that she
has the right to do so IL she
wishes. Proponents of equal rights
may we'll rejoice in the fact, that
a majority of the young men Of
today are most lenient in their
criticism of the conduct of young
women. However, it would seem
that the improvement of the
standards of men rather than the
lowering of standards for, women
would be a most happy objective.
It is needless to say that when
our young men cease to be inter-
ested In the proper conduct OF
our young girls, and not only
uphold them in their foolish &C
tions, but encourage then7-for
it has been the writer's experience
that women conduct themselves
just about as men desire and ex-
pect-their respect for woman
hood is on the wane.
L. w. HARBOUGH..
Are young women apt to make
themselves Subject to ridicdle
and open to misjudgment" If they
drink? They most certainly are.
BUT THAT'S NO GOOD REASON
FOR NOT DRINKING.
Will they ultimately lose the
respect of men? Possibly-though
as a matter OF fact the ladies
have never banked on masculine
respect half as much as the men
think they have. BUT AGAIN I
PROTEST. THAT'S NO ARGU-
MENT AGAINST FEMALE TIP
PLING.

We are naturally made for going forward Our feet all

Those people get along best in life who have the forward

It is sign of old age when we begin to 'remnisce
