Flapper Mothers Blamed For Vagaries of Young
‘Vamps’ of 51 and 61 Must Re-establish Morals. . .
Special Dispatch to the Tribune
[Rev. Dr. Edward J Gratz, speaking before the eighty-eighth annual New Jersey Methodist Episcopal Conference in Atlantic City:]
“Let the flappers of forty-one, fifty-one and sixty-one re-establish the family altars,” he asserted. “There is a perfect barrage of abuse against young people for the clothes they wear, the things they say and the deeds they do.
“During the war a girl was called patriotic if she danced with a man she did not know. She was applauded if a kiss accompanied the sale of a Liberty bond. Do you wonder that she is not as demure as before the war?”
[New York Tribune, March 6, 1924, p.1]
