Edison And The Flapper

She is partly a product of Kdisonism. The contrihutions of
the "Wizard" to the motion picture and the phonograph
and light developments give him at least a claim to u
Entire in the credit for the flapper, for the screen is the
source of many of her notions and the phonographic disc
carries' music to which her-toes tingle and the lights enable
her to turn night into day. So the "Wizard" owes it to
the tapper to be her champion. Nor does he tell her any
thing she doesn't know when he says that she is all right.
(The flapper knows that she generally plays a winning
hand when some one else holds it. She knows that elders
who criticize her were themselves criticized by their elders,
and therefore she takes their criticism with tho proper
Kinin of salt. She will accept Air. Edison's approval as
justly due.
