AMUSEMENTS AND ETHICS THE
PROBLEM OF AFTERNOON DANS ANT
Is the Tea-drinking and Fox-trotting Fad Detrimental to the Best
Interests of American Womanhood?
By Ellen Adair
T UNDEnSTAND that
the afternoon
X d&nsants aro being dreadfully criticised
Just now, more especially In New York,
where a mother haling her daughter Into
covin has brought tho gay city face to
face with the problem for problem It
U redly appears to be.
Not only does the girl of lower social
position require to have her amusements
Investigated, but it transpires that the
middle-class girl Is also In need of having
certain forms of relaxation pruned down
a trifle. At least so a certain well-known
social worker Informs us. This lady han
worked tirelessly for tho metaphorical
cleaning up of the hundreds and thou
sands of dance halls for the working girl
which flourish like the green bay tree nil
over the country, although there Is noth
ing at nil green about them, unless It
Is the unfortunate Ignorance displayed
by some of tho country maidens newly
come to town who attend them.
This good woman has now directed her
sphere of work to a higher clrclo of so
ciety, where she feels thero Is nearly ns
much call for her services. "The situa
tion along Droadway today," she de
clares, "with a few slight variations Is
the same saloon-dance hall problem we
struggled with on tho East Hide, tricked
out In more respendent show. Tho pa
tronage of thcBo afternoon dannnnts Is
composed of girls of means who would
never be allowed away from homo at
night. In the nf.crnoons they set forth
on shopping excursions. Tho dnnsant Is
their destination. But tho Broadway
men the middle-class girl dances with at
these functions hava their price. She
doesn't want to be a wall-flpwcr. She
wants to look popular and sho pays for t
Her partner Is hired as a dancing teacher
or professional partnor, and the way 1b
opened for fleecing her.
Among those who attend the afternoon
dnnsants In New York Is first and fore
most the young girl whoBe people ore
unaware of her whereabouts, and who Is
ostensibly out on some shopping expedi
tion. She has a regular passion for th!i
form of diversion, and everything Is cer
tainly made very attractive for hor, even
to provision of tho male partner, who,
although she has to pay for his atten
tions, Is a very presentable specimen
viewed from tho outside, and who has
cultivated all the bnllroom airs and
graces to a fine art. Small wonder that
the susccptlblo maiden Is willing to pro
duce her diminutive purse and pay a by
no manner of means diminutive price
for his company!
It Is claimed that where the working
girl on the East Side was In danger of
the saloon dance-hall gangster, her sister
in a higher slrntuin of society Is In danger
from a more refined edition of this gen
tleman, who might be aptly described as
the "social gangster."
The strong-minded lady, who is flght-
lhg this battle with such energy, main
tains that the sweeping away of the
social gangster will Include the sweeping
away of the combination Broadway res
taurant and danco establishment. But In
her opinion this will be a good riddance,
as she maintains that its object never
was to give anybody a good time. The
financial side was the only thing and
meant the selling of drinks. In tho East
Side night-dance restaurants, tho girls
were encouraged to come, because the
girls attracted the men, and tho men
bought drinks. Bjit on' Broadway there
is a reverse order of things. Tho men
are there, the men attract the girls and
the girls pay for the drinks!
Certainly this seems a curious

A CORDUROY TOP COAT
OF ORIGINAL DESIGN
COUNTItY fashions prom
ise to have a lasting in
fluence on milady's sports
cjothes this summer. The
vogue for the informal Is
another Influential factor.
Silk sweaters, light Palm
Beach suits and White cor
duroy costumes are the
height of comfort, and have
the extra advantage of be
Ing fashionable. To be fash
ionable and comfortable at
one and the 'same time la
almost more than a woman
could expect.
At a recent trip to tho
seashore I noticed the pre
dominance of corduroy on
the Boardwalk. Top coats.
Jackets and skirts are made
of It In every Imaginable
hade and color combina
tion. Bright, glaring jack
ets of royal purple and
orange are seen with sports
hats of apple green. These
are thrown over the bathing
costume, and worn while
lollinsr around the beach
after the dip.

A
cccdlng. Now I have always considered
the afternoon tho dansant, In Its accepted
form of nlternale fox-trotling and tea
drlnklng, an amusing and altogether In
nocuous affair. But apparently In the
groat gay city It is something very differ
ent. Why do drinks need to bo Introduced
Into thes'o nffalrs anyhow? Why can't
people learn to take their pleasures more
simply? iiul nbove all, In this matter of
paying for maacullno attention, when will
women learn to be sensible?
For common sense and moderation are
the keynotes to true relaxation. Hectic
excitement docs not bring happiness; it
does not even mean pleasure. And until
human beings come to rcatlzo this fact,
every slmplo little enjoyment, such us
the afternoon tho dansant In the restau
rant, will degenerate Into something Im
possible nnd bo finally spoiled for all
senslblo people.

CITY NURSES WILL
SAVE BABIES' LIVES
Director Zicgler Says Corps of
30 Will Reduce Infant Mor
tality. Infant mortality, which reaches n
higher rato Irt Philadelphia than In ony
other largo city of tho Unled Stales, ex
cepting Baltimore and Chicago, will bo
reduced by the work of the XI city nurses
In the Child Hygiene division during the
coming summer months, unless excep
tionally unheatthfut weather conditions,
with extreme heat and humidity, prevail.
Director Zlegler, of tho Health De
partment, attributes tho deaths of In
fanta principally to heat and faulty hous
ing conditions. City statistics show that
babies die In greatest numbers In Phila
delphia's most congested wards. Advo
oaten of better housing point out that
tho heat In Philadelphia Is not as ex- ,
ce.isivo ns In many cities of the Houtli
and other sections where the baby death ,
rato is lower than In Philadelphia Con- I
scfjuently, 'they declare faulty housing
conditions In this city nro responsible for
the abnormally high death rate.
Director -.eigier, in commenting on me
work of the city nurses In his weekly
health bulletin, soys.
"Last summer tho Division of Child
Hygiene wns unablo to accomplish nil
of Its work among tho Infant popula
tion of tho city because It was equip
ped with an anadettuato force of eight
nurses. As a result unlv a small nor
tlon of Infants actually In need of ns- I
slstance wero reached by them.
"This year the corps of visiting nurser
has been Increased to SO, and 10 additional
nurses will bo ndded shortly. Thcso
trained nurses will mako a house-to-houBo
ennvas among tho poor of the
city nnd will teach mothers tho proper
care of the Infant nnd the factors that
aro essential to tho life of the child.
Thoy wilt help to modify and Improve
tho snnilury conditions of homes as
far ns their present housing conditions
will permit."

SAYS MEN ARE
TOWARD SUFFRAGE
tically unknown ns a suffrage speaker.
Truo, two summers ago, she lived for
months In a suffrogo booth In Atlantic
City and practically "put suffrage on the
map" ns far as that locality Is concerned,
but only 12 months ago she mads her
maiden suffrage speech. Today she Is
recognized as one of tho, moat ablo work
ers for equal rights In tho city of ftow
York.
With n grown-up dnughtor, Mrs. Guil
ford boasts of being essentially a woman
of tho homo. Bhe frankly admits that
she "makes no bones' of doing her own
housework.
"When I first started to speak at street
meetings," she said, "men would some
times sneoringly say, 'Go homo nnd wash
your dishes.' I was only too glad to In
form them that I had dono so beforo com
ing to tho meeting.
"Times certainly have changed as far
as men and suffrage nro concerned. Good
looks necessarily aro not such an nseot
to n Bpcnker. Good sound nrguments are
whnt tho men want. I hear you have
gong politics In this city; well, Tammany
Hall Is coming over moro nna moro m
our sldu in . Now York. Politicians
should hcjd tho lesson given Mayor Har
rison In Chlcngo. Alt your politicians In
Philadelphia should bo put on record
cither for or against oqunl rights."
Mrs. Guilford said tho outloolc for a
victory In Pennsylvania was bright, but
that moro women workers wero needed
In tho suffrogo ranks of this city. "It
may bo that Philadelphia la a slow city,"
sho said. "At least I havo heard It ro
i erred to as such.
"At any rato, you havo enough street
rnrs hero," sho snld laughingly, "but
their numbers aro a regular Chlneso
puzzlo to mo. I can't get them through
my head."
"Don't ou think they aro fast?" Mrs.
Guilford was asked?
"Are you Joklng7" camo her quick re
ply. In Bpcnklng of tho war, Mrs. Guilford
said no one could expect patriotism from
n woman unless sho hnd tho right to vote.
"It's only natural that women shouldn't
bo patriotic; you givo us do many of the
burdons of clttzonshlp without granting
us tho ballot. If you havo war, you In
dlncrlmlnatcly tnko our hUBbands nnd
sons. Who nro tho real sulterors In such
n caso? Is It the men or tho vomcn7 At
least, It there is war, women should havo
a say In the matter. We'll have our say
In publto affairs beforo long. That's as
suro ns night and day."
LEDGER CENTRAL FINDS
YOUNG HOPEFUL A JOB
Mr. Mann's Tip to His Son and
Heir Produces One in "Less
Than No Time."
Mr. A. Mann was reading tho paper on
tho front porch tho other evening, get
ting a breath of fresh air nnd an appctlto
for dinner that the confines of tho odlco
on tho hot day had moro or less driven
away.
With tho rocking chair tilted back and
his feet on tho rail ho was absorbed In
Bleacher's story of tho game in tho final
edition. That is why ho did not hear his
son and heir, who had sneaked out
quietly from the house.
"Father, I nm going to got a Job."
Now, Young Hopeful was Just grad
uated from high school and tho thought
of hard labor for him until tho fall had
not entered Mr. Mann's head at nil. But
It is n bad thing to intimate surprise on
such occasions. So Instead of doing so
ho said as calmly as ho could;
"Well, where ore you going to get It?"
"I don't know," said Young Hopeful.
"I thought I would advertise In ono of
the papers."
"I'll toll you what you ought to do If
you want to save a wholo lot of troublo
and get yourself n hotter Job. You go
right down to Ledger Central and seo Mr.
Hunt."
This from Mr. Mann with enthusiasm.
"Wo get all our ofllco boys and every
other kind of help thero down at the
olllce. It's wonderful tho system they
have there. Mr. Rich, the boas', puts on
advertisement in the paper that Mr. Hunt
holps him to write, so that it may bo
concise and effective. When the replies
begin to coma, in, Mr. Hunt, by arrange
ment with Mr. Itloh, opens them and
picks out the ones ho thinks aro most
likely to suit. Then Mr. Itlch drops
around In the afternoon, Interviews the
prospects at Ledger Central there and
gets Just what ho wants' at about half
tha trouble It took under tho old system.
They tell mo thoy havo a similar system
for thoso who aro looking for Jobs. You
had better try thero, first of all, my
son."
Well, to mako a long story short, Young
Hopeful took; his father's advice. Ho went
to Ledger Central, at Broad and Chestnut
streets, the next morning early.
Young Hopeful Is now earning, one
week from the tlmo he started to look for
a Job, IS a wock, nnd en ears by Ledger
Central.

am not asleep," he decided, "so there Is
no need of exerting myself unnecessarily.
