Membership of the club, except for

"Promiscuous petting," Miss Eagen
explained, sis absolutely no good.
But if we say to prospective mem
bers Of the club let's go back to the
old days of ten years ago. not many
would sign,up But when we say pet
ting is getting so common that drink
ing among girls is getting to be
cheap thrill, and that smoking is
all out of date, that to abstain from
these is the modern and smart thing
to do, then we get members.
Miss Eagen admits she has smoked,
but says she does not think it is
good for young girls to do so.
When asked if she had ever seen
girls drink, Miss Eagen said: "Ill

them.

BURLINGTON, Wis, Feb. "a
Feeling that drinking, smoking and
petting are becoming too common to
be smart any longer, twenty-four
girls here have formed a "Decency
Club" and have forsworn cigarets
and liquor and "petting' parties.
Caroline Eagen, 10, founder of the
club, declared that the slogan of
the organization is: ITO pet, smoke
or drink is old-fashioned."
The girl members of the club are
required to take a pledge, which
reads as follows:
IT agree to stop smoking.
81 promise never to drink except
in company Of my parents.
II will not pet with members of
the opposite sex, but will save my
self for the man I love.
II agree to attend each weekly
meeting of the Decency Club except
in case of illness OF important bust
ness and will abide by it's rules"
Meetings of the club, according to
Miss Eagen, are held every Tuesday.
