Sunday that drunkenness is alarmingly '
on ths Increase among ths better class
of women of our larger cities. "'. .
Some of these days I will give more
startling facts." he said recently. "If '
the habit of drinking among women of
the better and middle classes continues ,
to Increase I mean to make publlo names. ...
will say that every minister in New .
Tork knows women good women -who
drink. I havs heard what the society
women do In Newport and Washington.'
but I know what they do to New York
In the way of drinking. , -.
"Drinking among woman has come to
be a matter of Indifference nowadays. It ,
is prevalent among our more respectable
classea It has progressed so far that
we read every day of our rich women,'
reoup rating at sanitariums. Their .poor
er sisters must have recourse to .alho
hollo wards In publlo' hospitals. These
records show It. Cocktails, of whisky, t
are lowering the Respectable level of. the
women of the middle elass.- They take
ths place of the champagne, a,nd i hot
wines among the rick . ,'
"Twenty years ago nothing psssea tne :
Hps but light wines and ales, snd then
seldom except at christenings or -feasta ;
Now the women oaa be seen any day In
the week and Sttoday, after and before
church, at their hotel and restaurant
meals, drinking cocktails, glass for glass,
with their men companions. They show
Indlfferenoe to opinion, lack of modesty ,
snd of conscience.
"They want to be up-to-date and think ;
that Is one way. Therefore we have
none of the good old-time temperance.
