Amber has well said, "Girls, don't
flrc" 1t is rockies way OF calling
forth comments and remarks from young
men who have nothing better with
which TO occupy their brains (lt they
have ANY, than watching for some laxl-
ty of morals in the opposite sex that they
NAV take advantage of. There are
great maay thoughtless, rattie-oralned,
Vet well meaning girls, who bring upon
themselves the censure of honorable
men and women by the loose way IN
which they air their morals in public
And | must lay the blame IN great
measure upon their parents. Mothers
should be censured Tor the lack OF conf

daughters, VINO, as they near the age
when health Tvs well rs character Is ~

hearts and shield them from evil by kind
and coasiderate warnings. A girl

the responsibility lies on the mother.

We know 1t is an lmposslOilty Tor

she does not fall PROSTATE by the way.
Mothers, poor things, have the best OF
excuses for laXity IN their teachings, and
though we know where the trouble has
its origin we cannot condemn them.
though their daughters heedlessly and
reckiessly destroy their hopes Of respect
ability by series OF hlrtations which,
unless summarily ended, sooner or later
bring sorrow in their wake. Harmless
hirtations, Us they are called, generally
proved exactly the opposite. The harm
