Show Irish Spinster Campaigns Against American Women DUBLIN. Eire An Irish spinster, spin-ster, Miss Una MacHale, 43, head of the "Daughters of Decency League", has started a campaign against American women "in order to keep alive the traditions of the Irish girl." Miss MacHale has called upon Irish girls to stop imitating American Ameri-can women, especially as far as putting on lipstick in public and chewing gum are concerned. "If you see anyone reddening her lips in public, tell her that American Ameri-can girls do that, but decent Irish girls don't," Miss MacHale said. "American women are loud, vulgar, vul-gar, ostentatious. They dress badly, make up garishly in public, chew gum Incessantly and dominate their menfolk." Miss MacHale said the "American "Ameri-can influence" had got hold of the town of Limerick, near Shannon international in-ternational airport Limerick used to be a fine town, she said, but now you'd hardly know it was Irish. "The girls speak with North American drawls," she said. "It has juke boxes instead of traditional tradi-tional Irish fiddlers. There are too many bubble gum chewers". American men? "They are much better," Miss MacHale said. |
