Female Drunkenness in Fashionable Circles reported in New York
A long review complains of rising female drinking among the fashionable set, citing saloon practices, shopkeepers, and dressmakers hiding liquor purchases. It notes eighteen year old girls and daughters of respectable families as intoxicated on Broaday, with discussion of signs and bribery at bars. The piece mocks the vice and calls for reform while recounting related political commentary and miscellany.
