Show ENGLISH YOUTHS REVOLT AGAINST SOCIAL CUSTOMS LONDON, Feb. 19. "Youth will be served," uceordlng to the Rt. Hon. Lord Enrle, M. V. O., in commenting In the Nineteenth Century magazine upon the present pres-ent revolt of English youth against English traditions. Tho majority of English girls smoke clgareta; English girls and boys kiss after a few hours acquaintance; ac-quaintance; the chaperon is out of fashion; social manners arc In decay; youths anl maidens laugh at their parents and eldqrs. So states Lord Ernie. Hut "War has offered us at W models of character, new types of heroes and heroines, new patterns pat-terns of combined and associated efforts." What If the girls of the new era have "dropped eigaret ends, llt-lereel llt-lereel our floors, burnt holes In our carpets, blistered our tables, scarred our mantelpieces?" Youth Is "over-eating ufter six years of starving " Everything will come out In the wash. It Is better to smoke clgarets before everyone, he says, than to go Into hiding if you actually like to smoke clgarets. In fine, he points out. the new-era new-era belongs to iho young. When the present generation of youths reach maturity and old age It, too, will be horrified at the revolt of I youth. ' OO |
