Grandmothers Kissed But Didn’t Tell: Less Discretion Today

BY GRETTA PALMER Tmp Special Writer NEW YORK. July 14.—1 tis the belief of Dr. Robert L. Dickinson. secretary of the National Committee on Maternal Health, that physicians have ignored one of the greatest modern problems of morality. "Youth today,** said Dr. Dickin-

son before the recent conference on marriage held at Teachers* college. Columbia university, 'has developed anew sub-standard of morality, such as we would not have believed possible a few years ago.'* He went on to state that a comparative study of case histories showed that among engaged

couples in 1885 one out of five admitted pre-natal relationships and that the figure has lumped to one out of three in 1980 and one out of two in these depression years. The mores of the times chancty perhaps, a shade less than Dr. Dickinson is willing to concede. For there are women, you know, who lie to their physicians on the theory that every stethoscope has an attachment that turns it into a dictaphone. And the percentage of indiscreet young women who refused to come clean was probably far larger in 1885 than it is today. A great deal of the talk about the new morality might, indeed, be more accurately pigeon-holed under the heading of the new candor. One brought up on the theory that Scott Fitzgerald invented vice has only to turn to some of the spicier memoirs of the '9os—say. those of Frank Harris—to discover that our generation is rhieflv famous for its naivete. We kiss—which is nothing new—but we also tell. And that is why we are known as the worst-behaved generation in recent history. * Perhaps Dr. Dickinson's patients are a shade less moral than their mothers would have been. But it is only fair to grant that they are certainly several shades more frank. What anecdotes of those old buggy rides that have seeped down to us of the automobile age are not particularly reassuring. “Necking” is anew word but an old art There are some stringent argument* which might be brought to the attention of the women and men who attend Dr. Dickinson s waiting room. One of them is the

fact that it would be a serious catastrophe if one of the young engaged girls found herself embroiled in the immemorial situation. For even fiances sometimes die. Our age. which is so much cleverer and more proficient than its predecessors in many ways, still is lacking sadly in the important quality of discretion. Having little of it. we are inclined to sneer at it or to docket it under the ignominious title of ‘hypocrisy.” That is why we are so willing to permit impertinent scientists to inquire into our most private concerns. That is why we are a little rasher than our great-grandmothers, although they, contrary to current belief, had their moments, too. Hypocrisy. Dr. Dickinson says, can work both ways. The modern flapper—bless her heart—is quite as likely to pretend to wickedness she never performed as the 1885 woman was to assume a mantle of innocence she had long ago cast off. Dont let the women of 1934 kid you—they really are not very bad! Mr. and Mrs. Otto Meyer and son Fritz will spend the week-end at Michigan City.
