One of Worst Girls She Knows Neither
Drinks, Smokes or Powders

Had he seen his mother take a
puff after dinner as many young
men do today, or had he enjoyed
an after-dinner cigarette with ms
sister and her cllums as many
brothers do today, it wouldn't nave
meant any more one way or the
other than bon bon or salted
almond.
For a woman to enjoy a cigar.
cite is no more masculine than
for a man to enjoy candy Is ef-
Terminate.
This is not an Outburst to en-
courage smoking among women
But it is an Outburst against con-
demning = a woman because she
smokes. know lots of men who
don't smoke and / think that's
fine. know lots of girls who
don't smoke and that's fine, too.
But most of them COULD if they
wanted too. Some Of them have
sworn off.
A little paint and powder, bObbed
hair and q cigarette now and then
are no crime!
One of the worst girls l know
neither drinks, smokes or powders.
But she moons around in an an
geIic way at the husbands of
wives who have befrieTdod her,
and brings diScOrd into happy
homes!
That's what call something to
condemn.
