THE COLUMBIA SENTINEL, THOMSON, GEORGIA.
Are the Young People to Blame
.There is a great discussion going on now
relative to the lack of modesty and some of the
other old fashioned traits, in the young women
oi today. •

I distinctly recall the excitement of my
or—a Victorian Englishwoman of the prim

from a visit to New York and told us of

on which the form of a woman in a new corset
had been shown, on one of the public streets.

have controlled the magazines, the news pa

a re pleased to call the social pace,
We middle-aged folk recall how essential
a chaperone was, in every gathering of
people; dances, picnics, trips, or even
at homes, were never permitted
one or more staid, dependable married women
were along to “preserve the niceties.” And.
looking hack now. there was less need for the j
demon chaperone, than there has been in the
past twenty years. There were no hip-pocket
flasks; nice girls didn’t smoke; there was no
money that today reach the limit of the
ers’ pockets—there <jas none of this, but the
chaperone was ahvav s on the job to look after
the young people. From hill hoards and
advertisements seems a far cry to the
manners of the young people of today, but just
as the little trickle in the dyke puts the whole
dyke on the dangerous footing, so w as our
moral background seeped by the immodest pic

“snappy” ad.
Nave you ever felt any disgust when you
looked over your magazines, and gone through
the late issues? \ ouiig women in a single
undergarment; young men in the same; every
state of undress from undershirt to stockings
and not that corset the is young represented, and of society one wonders—j
women wear
little, as do the chorus girls in the
shows, but rather why some of them wear wlmt
they do, very often the effect of the dressing
being more a revelation of one-time charm,
rather than concealment.
The young people who are growing
under this are nqt. responsible for their lack
of modesty; we ifce the ones to blame—those
of us of an older generation who made no ef¬
fort to keep the old, high standards, and
no voice of protest to the few who tried.
The young woman in business isn’t the one
in the greatest danger. Her chosen work, her
profession or what ever it is, depends on her
keeping fit—morally as well as physically; the
flirtatious girl doesn’t last long in
She either gets married, and stays at home,

and not apt to make the same mistake twice.
Tn New York a society lias been
for the cloning out of those theatrical
Urns which arc said to shock even the oldest
of the old timers. Read this, from a daily
paper:
“It is a ail commentary on the public
morals that tho society for the prevention
of vice in New York is trying to protect,
that tho society doesn’t dare to name tho
half dozen Broadway plays it believes
should be suppressed. It knows that if it
named them there would ho such a rush to
buy seats that several persons might be
maimed and mutilated in the box office at¬
tack. ’ ’
We may say that is a trait of h naan na
tuiv. based on curiosity—but we know it is
coally the streak in tho human make-up which
wants to havo all morbidness uutisfied;

than the most fervid preacher can draw to his

’class—that to-be-pitied class which does not
have the glorious pleasure of working for what
p eats and what it, wears, are the sufferers
0 ur accepted standards of dance' living, today. They
are the ones who fill the halls, sip from
hip flasks, smoke the perfumed, of
