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. • Some times it is well to look hack over tlie I years that are gene, and .try to get at the J ginning How of the things of that elderlies are not just recall right, the many you can which advertising of say thirty five years ago, Itill appeared in our papers and magazines! board was in its infancy, and had not yet become such a thing of horror. In tl;e main, the advertisements were wordy affairs, going into much printed detail. and illustrated usually by fancy pictures <>! very good looking ladies—always fully dressed. I distinctly recall the excitement of my or—a Victorian Englishwoman of the prim most, most modest type—wlnyi she returned from a visit to New York and told us of near-riot tlicit had occurred about a bill on which the form of a woman in a new corset had been shown, on one of the public streets. 1 1 . would he screamingly funny it 1 repeat the full report of that period, in New York; 1 distinctly remember that the picture was torn from the hill board, and the lioard itself destroyed. I he papers were tilled with the item at the tune, and for several months there were no attempts made to show > ladies r undressed , , on , bill boards. <. Some one , has said that, the civilization ,. which will come after us, need have no written word of as other than the illustrated books and papers which we may leave behind us 4 that the news papers and the current litera ture of today will be all sufficient for the tua. historians to re-const,met our What'a pity, if this should ho so. and future would judge us bv those standards, add cd to by the theatrical attractions which hold the hoards the longest, ami which arc the the ticket oftiee view point. Our morals and our tastes arc something we hand down to our children, and which they have no part in the making of. We are blam nig many sources for the looseness and of today, but we must large part, those sensational agencies which have controlled the magazines, the news pa pecs, the theatre and the setting of what we 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 Hires which soon become a part of every “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, she gets out of the particular office in she has been flirtatious—a sadder, wiser girl , 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; murderer win draw more people to liis trial than the most fervid preacher can draw to his church. Just what this streak in us conies other than having to be classed as a remnant : 0 f our e ave days, none can say. | Rut—the young people of the leisure ’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 tobacco, and know more of the seamy side life than the average head of a family, of working class. Have you ever thought what physicians know oi this new mode of living that lias be ,. 0 uic part of ,our civilization!
