FLAPPERS

Modern Girls And Criticism U7HEN will tongues stop wagging and pens run dry upon that much worn subject— "The Modern Girl?" THE modern maid has been the hub around which the wheel of criticism has whirled — first one way then the other— for a monotonous length of time. While one member of the clergy dons his surplice to decry her alleged wickedness, his brother compeer pops his head over another pulpit to eulogize her virtuous character. A social worker, politician author, anyone— ventures with an opinion that places Miss Eve upon a pedestal et high esteem, and a small army ec "Mothers of Nine" load then- pens with satirical aspersions for th« purpose of knocking her down. .«.«_* When will the "cease flre" BBtind upon this twaddle of repeated and reassembled facts? Already Miss Flapper has a nisnlyinflated idea about her own importance and continued publicity about her morals and capabilities will 3oon give her a head that no hairdresser's skill will circumnavigate m a week.
