Why shouldn't the white man’s burden of good resolutions be shared by his wife, who has learned to do her part in emptying his wine-cellar and his cigarette-case? rants where wine, very good friends If young Master 1914 has « sense of logic he will ask a few such questions when he pops over the edge of the world this week and peeps into the gay restau- woman and smoke await him—three indeed. For it's not just a cry of the professional moralist that more and more women are smoking and drinking more and more. Those of us who do not make a business of minding our neighbors’ business are nevertheless compelled to observe the cap- “mmManeuace ture of the so-called masculine vices by feminine free- booters. Then why should not an appeal be made to the latter to “start the New Year right?” To be sure, it's a rather distinctively modern appeal. I doubt if even ten years ago the suggestion could have been made seriously that a con- siderable number of respectable women should swear off drinking cocktails and smoking cigarettes. DISGRACEFUL FOR WOMEN TO! SMOKE CIGARETTES. In that comparatively primitive era we believed that only bold, bad adventur- eases committed such crime inst na-| ture. When we went to the theatre and) saw a lady sipping pinkness out of A} thin-stemmed glass, or holding a cigar- ette gingerly between middle and index fingers, then we settled back comfort- ably and watted for pistols and poison. ; We knew that she ran to one vr tne other—probably both, ‘Mow it is almost as rare for a woman to turn down her wine- Siasses at luncheon or dinner as for her to turn down her butter plate, In the most consérvative restaurants and hotel dining-rooms women are privileged to smoke, ten is rarely served without its complement of cigarettes apd high- alls, Men marvel at the skill in dissipa- tion which they say in sown by the weaker sex. It seems that a woman who drinks as much as her escort often conceals the effects of her in- dulgence more adroitty than he, un Jess, of course, she in utterly unac- customed to the use of alcoholic stimulants. “I saw a girl at @ party the other night" 4 man said to me, with wonder in ols votve. } nice girl from a good family, and not a day over twenty-two. Yet she drank one quart of champagne—drank every drop of it herself, And apparently she ne noticed it."

True, and she shares with him the right to expose herself car lessly to all sorts of disease and di aster. But it seems to me un ch rights are more jionored In the breach than In the observance. ‘Why should not women imitate the special virtues of men, inste of their vices? Tolerance, humor, loyalty to frionds are masouline characteristics well worth ocopy- ing. Why should we, in our eager- ness to be emancipated, eagerly take over the ailly, stupid Little Babite which pound men's wills foi long? 3¥'e @ plese of eheurd brev , Women are not play> ing t 4 to ent thelr enke und keep tt in dar FREE | con storage, They are indulging in 5 42 0% Mad, Thad dhaik tude is utterly inconsistent seems the| least of their troubles, A WOMAN WHO DOES NOT PLAY FAIR.

Then it seems to me that the modern woman might well swear off the habit of swearing on Jan, 1, M14. Perhaps every one doesn't Know It, but the col- lege girl of to-day hi @s emphatic {f not as at Harv: and ‘For goodness’ sak of our mothers are apparentiy totally inadequate to express our own complex and voicanic emotions. ‘The old theory was that a man swore because it wasn't proper for him to cry.
