COCKTAILS AND FLATS.
CONDEMNATION BT DOCTOR.
(From Our Own Correspondent*)
SYDNEY, October 12.
Cocktail drinking among "flappers" was condemned by Dr. C. R. D. Brothers, medical superintendent of a Tasmanian mental hospital. "It is all right to have a cocktail, but it makes me very sore when I see girls of about 18 or 19 years in society 'swiping up' cocktails," he said. "I can assure you of the bad results in a few years. "I also condemn the popularity of Hats," he added. "My chief objection is the attendant curtailment of families or the curtailment of the liberty of the child. They are ideal for the elderly retired Couple, whose family has grown up, but disastrous to the young married couples, because they tend to do away with family life."
