TWm aoitat 7S JOB WORK A SPECIALTY As the Editor Sees It Muck has been heard during the past several years of the so- called "flapper." The following is an extract from a story that appearedlin ajdaily last Sunday, and it contains such food for thought that the Post-Dispatch is constrained to reproduce it i here principally for the mothers and their daughters: a "The difference lies here. Our . girls of today, or at least that per centage of them that is idle, and social that comes under the classi fication of 'flapper,' in short are like babies that we grown-ups trust with arms, with knives and loaded pistols. The tragedy is that they are throwing away something now that they may never buy , back again. They don't know it, but we do. And we don't do much to stop it. They live on excitement, dancing, kisses, a , forced sex emotion and we say as you did that .in a few years they will be the young mothers of the nation. They won't be the young mothers of the nation that's : the price we, pay for these silly years ' when the flapper is coaxing new ..... i clothes out of us, smoking, drinkjng, bobbing her hair, discarding her stays, dancing herself into exhaus tion every night. "She may marry although there ' are a lot of flappers of seven or eight years ago who have not, I notice. And the passee flapper at 30 is a strange creature! But if , she does marry, there is no happiness for her as well put her in prison. She doesn't marry as Jhe girls of my day n did, for greater freedom, for a chance at self-expression, for, an op- purtunny ior a Droader and more useful and interesting life. Not she. ,,, . jne marries as an experiment. POST-DISPATCH EMPLOYMENT BUREAU , PHONE:..... 182 POST-DISPATCH wilt be medium .-. for bringing ' together fmplojrer , and employes.

You housewives, merchants etc who mav be in need of a. ennlr. rlorlr . etc communicate with this office and the POST-DISPATCH will try to locate one for vou. The paper wishes to be of service to the entire community and be- Iieves it can fill a real gap by bringing employer and employee together. A very small charge is made for list ing under this head, l'hone POST- DISPATCH, 182. THE HOME PAr"R JN VERSE. , - " vn,VIUHJIlbp .and the instant the money,' ; the freedom, the amusement andadill- acion to which she is accustomed isn't forthcoming, the marriage fails". It may drag on for a few, years. Again it may not. But in any cast our flapper is not the young mother of your ideal, indeed she goes into marriage very well prepared fc a void any such complication as Moth erhood! And so our indulgence, in her pretty teens and early twenties, is very much an if si w t..i on lobster and cqcoanut cake every Hair hafmn.. 1 . 1 . i J i.u uer imra and fourth birthdays, and then expected her to come placidly back to rusk and xitc-jiuaaing. No news is said to be good news. And no kicks about the naner ar likely to be interpreted by the coun try editor as meaning that he hasn't displeased too many people. .' But there is one kind of a kick to which the editor never objects the kick that the paper has failed to arrive at the usual time. An : unknown writer in ' the Waterburv A nas numorously described a kicker of this kind "M father says the paper he reads ain't put up right; He finds a lot of fault,' too, he does perusin' it all nisrht; " He says there ain't a sjngle thing in is wortn to read, And that it doesn't print the kind of stun tne people need; He tosses it aside and says it's strict iy on the bum, But you ought to hear him holler When the naner doesn't r'nmat He reads about the weddin's and he snorts like- all set out- He reads the social doin's with a most derisive shout. He says they make the papers for the women folk alone: He'll read about the parties and he'll jume and fret and rrnn He says of information it doe'sn't nave a crumb But you oueht to When the nanoi- Jnacn'r I b tuiHB, .

WAKE KOaST ALU..1.SI. ' The Wake Forest College Alumni in Richmond county met with Mr. Claude Gore at his residence on Ran dolph street New Year's Eve, where they were his guests at a supper. . At eight o'clock the guests as sembled in the dining room and were served there to an elaborate and princely meal by Misses Rosalie and Bruce Gore and Virginia Ben ton. - - ' . Following this the membersliin of the Association considered the arch itect s plans for the Richmond County Cottane for Richmond Coun ty boys attending Wake Forest.
