Dear ATLIss Tour article criticising women
Wno smoke, drink and .wear was very Interest
ing;. but la It true that women who do any or all
or these things ape men? I can't aay that auch
habits are to.be admired In either sex. but my
reason la not because they are masculine, but
generally harmful.
Men have Indulged In smoking and drinking
lor a good many years, and they huve nald the
penalty stunted growth, impaired health, and
ojehile death Is hardly ever the direct result, it
Is a fact that men of such habits navn fewer
chances of recovery when anything else la the
inmier. Ana yei mey nave not learned, or at
least not heeded, tho warning. You are too
hard on women. Tou expect them to begin with
, what men nave not found out after years of ex
perience. Did' it ever occur to you that girls born of tha
same father as their brothers might have a
taste for the same vices? Or. that boys born
of the same mother as their slaters should bo ex
pected to be as decent?
. ?Xon!an ,a surging ahead and I havo explicit
faith that, after going through all tho stages of
progress, she will still be a woman a greater
woman and will have overcome many of the
things for which she Is severely criticised now.

have found a liking for smoking, ri'lnklng inrt

women really enjoy a smoke? lien claim they do.
Why not women? Those of us who havo never

THE Bread and Milk Club has thrown
open the doors and will be glad to con
sider applicants for membership. "V, want
only preferred risks. No downright sick
people with one f. In tho g. need apply. The
charter prohibits tho acceptance of such
applicants. Tho ciub was originally or
ganized for the near-Invalid, the over-fed,
autotoxomlc, bilious, sedentary, llver-plll-consuming,
too stout, plethoric Individual
who thinks he or she Isn't In need of med
ical attention. We can accommodate a
number of new members, and we extend a
special Invitation to business men, olUca
men, clerks, professional people, house
wives who hire all the work done, and all
other persons who take life too easy after
the age of thirty. Applicants under thirty
must show cause why they should be con
sidered at ail.
Under no clrcumstancesjcan the rules and
regulations bo varied or .suspended to meet
the convenience or whims of members. Any
one who wishes to retain his standing In
the club must confine himself rigidly to his
bread and milk all day Monday every week.
No half-way compromise will do. Be a
hero, or else keep out. One of the prime
motives in the Institution of the Bread and
Milk Club was to teach the public that It
Is not fatal to skip a few meals now and
then, for the sake of the liver, lights and
other organs that have more than they can
do disposing of the excesses ordinarily
poured In upon them.
It Is very simple. The Initiate opens
his eyes on blue Monday and calmly pours
his bowl ot certified milk, and drinks It
slowly and deliberately, munching a cracker
or two or cronchlng on a small slice of
home-made bread to encourage the startled
hormones. Then, regularly, by the clock,
he repeats the process at Intervals of two,
three or four hours all day long, as he
prefers. If very stout and very bilious and
very susceptible to autointoxication, once
In four hours Is often enough.
Were It not for the limitations of space
and our great regard for the Interests of
the profession we would print some testi
monials from members of the club testi
monials that would induce a riot among the
near-Invald3 who would desire to Join.
Of course there Is no secret grip, and no
dues to pay in the Bread and Milk Club.
Anybody Is welcome to employ out ritual
and degree work. But wo oply recommend
It for the too well nourished victim of nerv
oufi prosperity who Is thirty years old or
over. No younglings nre admitted, and no
Blck folks are wanted in the club. It is
for people who loathe to think themselves
anything but healthy, people who feed
themselves to death by Inches and never
can see tho use of that annual physical ex--am
nation tho economy experts are advo
cating for all high-class machines whose
efficiency Is worth guarding.

PITIFUL PL.IQHT
As the prisoners passed nr-rosB tho gang
way Into tho boat for England It seemed
to mo that somo of them had a decidedly
feminine appearance, nnd looked exactly
like women In male nttlre.
Poor devastated Dublin 1 Tho onco
handsome postofllco looks like a repro
duction of tho ruined Town Hall of Ypres.
And not soon will wo forget tho thrills
nt the, In at te-or rtnVH. when the revolu
tionists held tho roofs nnd often tho In
teriorn of nil tho nromlnent houses, and
sniped at anything nnd everything In tho
roads below. On tho roof of tho house
where I havo been staying a wlld-looktnp;
man was running, rlfio In hand. BulletH
whizzed against tho walls, tired by snipers,
and ono hit the wlndowframo and glanced
oft Into tho room. No one was hurt, but
Immediate withdrawal to tho cellars was
advisable.
This Is the second tlmo within n period
of flvo weeks that I hnvo had perforce
to descend to collars for safety I Tho
first time wns "Somewhere In Scotland,"
when tho Zopps were right overhead, and
tho roof was threatening to fall In upon
us. Uttlo did I think then that tho expe
rience, with unplenslng variations, would
bo repeated within but ,n few weeks In
good old' Ireland. This tlpio tho Inquisi
tive bullets of Sinn Felners were tho danger
and a very big danger, too 1
It was very dreary In that Irish cellar.
But at least It was comparatively safe
except for the fact that the rebels might
burst In on ub at any moment and "do
their dnrndest"
AN EERIE EVENING
We had no food, as In a previous attack
on the house tho snipers had freely helped
themselves in the family larder. Tho cellar
was cold and damp nnd eerie and entirely
unpleasant. But hope springs eternal, and
we whlled away tho long hours by absurd
guessing games and arithmetical competi
tions concerning tho number of shots fired
per minute by artillery In tho vicinity. A
curious and a memorablo evening !
Tho revolutionists had been firing with
'quantities of lead seized, from various
newspaper offices. They had also broken
Into all the drug stores nnd laid hands on
all available chemicals of an oxplosivo na
ture. These they packed Into empty cans.
The resultant combinations proved remark
ably efficient. One such can exploded on
the previous day not very far from whore
I was standing on tho street, and to bo can
did. I don't think I havo ever had quite
such a fright in my life.

are ontlrely !" said a queer little man whose
weazened features gave him an odd air
that was qutto diverting, and whose spirit
could hardly bo classified as military. "Tis
slttln' In this cellar I'll be afther till all
thlm heathenish noises outside cense, and
the blessed saints preserve us 1 Glory bo 'tis
glad I am to bo safo in hldln' nere,
When tho danger had abated a little we
again wont upstairs and watched from be
hind a Venetian blind.
A few bullets from the rifles of their
brother revolutionists Boon broke up a queer
throng of looters and they ilea ror shelter.
One or two wounded men and women wcro
left lying where they fell until tho police
arrived to help them to safety. I noticed
that on this occasion the Sinn Felners
stopped their fire until their wounded breth
ren got off.
An Irish flower seller who had seen Lib
erty Hall struck by a shell told mo about
It today. '
"Shure 'twas an onholy Bpectacle," said
he solemnly, "and the dlvll himself was In
the explosion. 'Twas more than shot and
shell and brick and dust that flew Into the
air 'twas h'iman arms and human legs
and pieces of human beings. Some of the
rebel craythurs rushed out like rats from
their holes, but glory be 'twas killed or
taken prisoners they were entolrely."
STREET SCENES APPALLING.
The sights In the streets are appalling.
Death and devastation abound, and even
aB I write, a dull roar of artillery comes
from the Ballsbrldge neighborhood, where
a band ot Sinn Felners are still holding
their own against heavy fire. Sackvllle
street Is still Bmoklng, and the greater part
oi it uea iii ruins. jny snops mat still
are sianuing iiuve oeen ransacked to th
Opposlto my window nt tho nresent mo
ment Is a lady of tho .slums. Sho Is pea
cocking up and down In the street In a
wondrous tea gown which sho has Btolon
from a big department store. Beneath It
protrude hor own dilapidated garments.
Her unwashed hnlr draggles over the cx
qutslto nllkcn mnterlal, and hor feet, In
coarso gray woolen stockings, nre vainly
endeavoring to remain within a pair of
dainty little satin slippers. She Is an un
lovely spoctnelo In her looted finery. I
prophesy that within tho next hour sho
will bo arrested by "tho military," unless
sho beats a wlso retreat.
For the last few days It has been qulto
ns dangerous to movo In tho strcots of
Dublin as at tho firing lino In France.
From tho window of the houso I" shel
tered In I havo seen Indescribable scenes.
A wounded soldier was limping peacefully
along, his arm In a sling. I saw a Sinn

fenseless fellow over tho head with tho

A foolish old woman actually sallied

excellent target for the revolutionists. I
watched her crossing an open space with a
horrlblo sinking of the heart How soon?
Ping!" went a bullet from n nrh i,,,
and tho old woman fell forward groaning.
It was pitiable to hear her cries. After a
time some brave Bed Cross rescuers
brought her in. Sho had a two-Inch wound
in tho leg, a fact which proves that the
Sinn Felners woro using dumdum (expand,
lng) bullets.
At the corner of the street lay a soldier,
vainly trying to locate the snipers. I saw
him shot at his post.
