A writer muses that many past objections to cultural imports now seem silly and wonders which church would still ban violin music inside sacred walls. The piece contrasts historical moral panic with modern tolerance for the arts.
A social survey from New York City and other cities links higher misbehavior to girls who work in houses. It notes a large percentage of those going the wrong way were house workers, a figure said to rival or exceed other causes combined.
A fragment of a classroom discussion questions whether removing a disruptive student would curb misconduct. The speaker argues that the mullet-headed girl who brings the dance into disrepute should be punished, insisting discipline hinges on her removal to restore order.
A writer cites ministers urging oversight of municipal dances to keep youths safe. The piece argues dancing in the limelight under chaperones is preferable to secret meetings in the dark, praising local clergy for leadership.
Dr Lackland of Grace M. E. church jokes about dancing after rousing several women who read him the riot act for approving dancing. He asks what is wrong with it and says he will quit if any woman claims no prior arm around before marriage.
The author warns against new woman ideas, noting old guard clubs like the Lincoln Woman's Club once denounced tight skirts and sent resolutions to papers. The piece highlights paradoxes in the General Federation of Women's Clubs as members evolve while fears of fashionable changes linger.
The Lincoln Woman's Club, affiliated with the federation, is represented by delegates from clubs nationwide. The federation is in session in New York City where officers discuss women’s rights and related issues.
Mrs. Yawger, former federation president, tells a reporter that women smoking is their own business. The remark comes as ministers publish a call urging women to quit, while both genders resist clerical orders issued outside church walls.
Mia Grant, a former federation president, argues that individuals have a right to smoke after prohibition. The speech reassures women that their smoking rights are not questioned and offers cob pipes to start a costly but comforting habit.
Mrs Yaweer condemns new mandates she sees as overreach. She argues laws intruding on private acts undermine freedom of speech, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. She urges men to stop dictating women's actions and to trust them more.
In a terse bid, Mrs Yanger declares support for the emancipated woman by delivering a small bundle that includes a cob pipe matches bull Durham papers and Old Mule chewing tobacco. The gesture signals confidence in the recipient’s future.
