The News-Palladium, Benton Harbor, Michigan, April 3, 1924

A. B. See was Alonzo Bertram See, a business man, founder of the A. B. See Elevator Company, and social critic (though mostly just a women’s critic).

Since the advent of suffrage, he writes, women drink more rum and cocktails and smoke more cigarettes than ever before; they walk streets swaggeringly with brazen faces; they have abandoned corsets and used more cosmetics than ever before.

“When a woman dances with a man,” he adds, “she lolls on his shoulders and tries to sit on his hips.”
