    1. Re: [NY-Old-News] arrested for "Disorderly houses" "inmates" 1925 Monroe Co...
    2. Thanks Diane, You are correct about that, I do have many "qualifications" that I have acquired over this lifetime of mine... I too, have not really paid much attention to each birthday, but, this one seems like it could have an effect on me. (I am proud of my age, but, when this next one comes - it is more than six months away - I have the feeling I will be 'cowling' down a bit.) (If my friends and family are smart, they WILL NOT be giving me any of those horrible BLACK baloons!!) As far as the diffinition of what a "Disorderly House" is, thanks "Mfallonr" for the explanation. I have read many old newspaper abstracts, and come across the term myself. I had no idea it meant a house of ill-repute! (I felt sorry for the women getting in trouble, for having a 'messy' house. Atleast I know now). Thanks to both of you Diane and "Mfallonr"! Kathy
