SOCIETY GIRLS AND COCKTAILS.
WOMEN WHO ARE WORN, OUT

"Dr. Agnes Savill delivered lecture on "The Dangers of Society to Health" at the Institute of Eygiene on Nov. 23rd. She said that the development of communities was found in the earliest stages of human society, and this gather ing together of families to abare a com mon life had many advantages, provided the individuals concerned were of a high grade and bad a sound organization. But such communities had many dangers, such as the liability of infectious diseases to spread rapidly and the multiplication of the unfit. Other dangers of civilization were eye-arrain, smoke, dust, and fog, while noise was a serious society danger, leading to irritability, fatigue, and lack of sleep.
Dealing with the society life of girls, Dr. Savill said that a girl who left school for business life. might not have an excessive amount of daily work, but she usually had to make exhausting journeys to get to it. The girl who went to a university was liable to over-study, or to study all day and to indulge in social functions till late at night. while the girl who could command the sources of beg parents wealth left school for a life of continual exciten nat which resulted in mental and physical deterioration
"Nowadays," she said, the girl dispenses with a chaseron, and even if she retains the old high standard of chastity her mind too often becomes poisoned, "her deals recede, she accepts the inferior outlook on life, and when she marries the standard of her relationship to her husband, "home, and children is not a high one.
"I have ecen some of these girls after a few years of society life aged by years, and alrendy, before the age of twenty, ณ worn out and herve-tired as "if they were forty. The hectic life of continual excite- ment, the absence of all repose, all time for meditation, the perpetual change, the cigarette smoking, irregular and unhealthy meals-no wonder these girls become the pray of disease. And though the physical consequences are disastrous, even of grater importance is the evil effect of this life upon the character.

Many people find that there i greater nerve train involved in keeping up a conversation of small talk than in discussing a serious topic or in the more connected conversation of old intimate. friends. These society girls have their brains and mental equipment adjusted to this level of scrappy exclamations early in life, and it spoils their subsequent deve- lopment and their capacity to reach a bet ter stage of intellectual growth.
"Society life is responsible for deficient sleep and consequent deterioration of the entire nervous system. It encourages the pernicious habit of the too frequent cigarette, it encourages the girls to take cocktails and whiskies-and-sodas, which ruin their digestion, impair their livers, and upset the balance of the nervous system, and it encourages them to take rich foods, which upset the rhythm of the body.

"The ill health of the modern society girls is, in a mature, the. fault of their parents, who have it in their hands to: postpone the downfall of our modern. civilization, since civilization itself has its foundation on those individuals who possess the virtues of stability, high purpose, and. unselfishness."

[George Duncan was so much impressed, during bis recent tour in America, by the thorough, methods of American golfers that he is reported sa declaring, that we should now have to stop playing at golf and start working at it.")
Somewhere about the fifteenth tee
The village golfer standa; Pins fours adorn each stalwart knee,
His gloves are on his hands,
And the wretched caddie groans to see
The clubs which he commanda. ·
His eye is sters, his face is glam
Beneath its mask of tan;
He does not play at golf like some,
But works it on a plan,
And his brow in wet with honest sweat,
As befits a working man
Week in, week out, from marn till night.
You can hear him bellow Fare Eighteen man wave him on in tright Leaf they should spoil his score, And poor, weak females take to fight,
When they hear his awful roar,
He goes on Sunday, to the links (He dare not miss a'day) ;-
As dusk desconde he homeward alinke
Arguing on his way;
And at night he lies awake and thinks
Of the game he ought to play."
Driving, approaching, holing out, Unward through life he goes; Each morning moes him full of beans,
Each evening bears his. woes; And the thought of a putt he missed in*
'„To spoil his night'■ repose.
