: WHO, WHY, WHEN IS A WHAT IS HER PLACE ON EARTH Sidelights AND WHERE CAN SHE BE FOUND? | Pertinent Questions About a Much Ridiculed Type of the Feminine Youth—While Many Malign Her, She Has Her Defenders, Too— How Do You Define Her? Who is a flapper? What is a flap- per? When is a flapper? Where Is @ flapper? Let's turn to the dictionary first. () “A young bird unable to rise ta Might, espectally a young wild duck.” (2) “Anything used to arouse attention @r jog memory. Do these definitions [it the young girl of to-day who has definitely been labelied flapper"? We shall see. At any rate the second definition, “Any- thing used to arouse attention,” cer- tainly tends to fit, judging from the number of peopie who have attempted to define or dissect the word "flap- per'’ within the last few weeks, Here are a few: From Alderman “ John Coughlin of Chicago.—‘'A flapper is @ youthful female, beauteous ex- ternally, blase internally, superficially intelligent, imitative to a high degree. Her natural habitat is the cabaret, the ballroom and the boulevard, the fast motor car. She browses about the trough of learning, picking as its tid- hits, smart phrases, which she glibly repeats without fully sensing their meanings. She comes from all walks of life and has for her main require- ment nerve, a face and figure, either actually beautiful or susceptible to artistic effort.” To whioh Ellis Parker Butler, au- thor, takes exception:—“I am so sad to learn that the flapper is to be de- fined as an internally blase, cabaret haunter, Isn't that merely what the lounge lizard thinks she is? Isn't the fNapper—bless her heart!—the young female of sixteen, twittering, trying her undeveloped womanly graces as a young bird tries its wings, and making a very prettey picture as she docs 80 Hurrah, say we,for Mr, Butlert Cosmo Hamilton tells us: “The flapper, be it understood, is a Rolls- Royce engine in a Ford body. She's bursting with enthusiasm and vitality that she doesn’t know what to do with, What she needs is some kindly, sympathetic person to put this enthu- siasm and vitality to work, © © © She was caught in the unrest that followed the return of the boys from France after the war, Most of these boys, twenty-two, twenty-three and twenty-four years of age, are being demobilized by going back to college or to work. As the unrest decreases, so will the flapper’s pecullar attri- butes that we smile at to-day.” Miss Mary Ida Bentley, former Sec- retary of San Francisco Young Wom- Christian Association: “Flappers usually are girls who believe person- ality 1s physical; who consider all ad- ce as abstract; who love continual change; who converse in generalities, “To present a picture of the normal girls as she exists to-day is a daring venture. She has no average, she has no group ties, She is a stranger to herself, sometimes especially to mem- bers of her own family, and annot be compared with her kind of a pre- vious age. “We are tempted to think of her as living in @ spirit of masquerade, so rapidly and completely can she as- sume different and difficult roles of accomplishment.

HENRIETTE and LOUISE GIRARD, orphans and foster sisters, on the way to Paris in the hope that the sight of Louise may be restored, are met by MARQUIS DE PRAILLE, who orders his pander, LA FLEUR, to kidnap Henriette and bring her to his fete at Bel Air, where she is rescued by CHEVALIER DE VAUDREY, who falls in love with the girl, though his uncie by marriage and his aunt, COUNT AND CUUNTESS DE LINIERES, have, with the consent of KING LOUIS XVI, arranged for him a noble marriage. In the house where Henriette lodges and is visited by the Chevalier, another lodger is MAXIMILIAN ROBESPIERRE, and both of the lovers become acquainted with DANTON, the other figure in the Revolution, Henriette protects Dat when he is wounded and Robespierre has seen the Thunderer in the girl's room De Vaudrey persuades his aunt to visit Henriette and the Countess learns that the blind girl is her own chilld, abandpned by her relatives on the steps of Notre Dame after they had killed her first husband, a young commoner, and then married her off to the Count. As they hear the blind sister's voice singing in the street, soldiers come to arrest Henriette and take her to prison by order of the Count Meantime Louise, Saved from falling into the Seine by PIERRE FROCHARD, is taken in tow by his mother and brother Jacques and made to sing in the streets, while the old woman, known as MOTHER FROCHARD, begs.
