Turning away, the GLOBE met a dame,
Fat and forty" at least, if not fair, and
forthwith resolved upon an interview.
WHAT THEY SAY FOE THEMSELVES.
Addressing her, one of the stateliest, most
dlgniied and prepossessing of tho women
present, the GLOBE missionary asked her
GLOW do these "ladies'' obtain such costly
and elegant costumes, such fine jewelry and
elaborate adornments?'
GAIL that we possess" was her reply, "you
see upon US. We are the creatures of an
hour. This gay scene here, is a hideous
counterfeit There's not a woman before
you bat would gladly exchange places with
the simplest servant girl, and give all that
her life could offer for the love of strong
man and the peace of a simple life. But we
have been branded by society and are power
less to walk back to life of virtue under
the naughty - stare of those
whose lives, many not less
sinful than our own, have nevertheless
been covered under the formalities of a
higher social life. We can never obtain
recognition either by labor or repentance for
past conduct. Our sorrows are eternal-the
gates are barred against US. No fallen wo-
man can ever rise again, save she receives,
as if from heaven, the devoted love and
sheltering protection of strong man. Our
own sex spurn US and in doing so bar the
pathway to reform and repentance even if
our own hearts so inclined US. All this is
right and we do not complain. The logic of
social law compels and marks 9out ovr po.
sition. Yet we are all human and hope.
The dream of each woman here is of pro-
tectCr. On such occasions as this, the deep
disgrace of our daily lives is for the home
obliterated and the innocent joys of child
hood which are for US forever biotted out.
Each escort you zee here
occupies place nearest oul
individual hearts. Gold is not now
the vision before US. The barter and sale OF
our very souls is exchanged for greetings
and courtssies which sinless women sc
greatly and so justly enjoy. We are having

will be short, and then we resume our place
among the "quarry slaves'' of society

'Why SIR was the ready answer, awe

with more of society scandal-that sphere
IN which we are not allowed
to onter-than society itself
There is often a sympathy moving US to-

all and need the protection of others. These
need our cheer, and while We give it, they
supply our necessities"
"But how can you rival the pure woman
the mother in the affections of her hus-
band?''
"That is easily accounted for. The deep
passions of men and women alike are not
controlled by the ACCIDENT of offspring. The
principle of maternity, which is natures
Dulwark for the purity of women, is the rock
upon which woman wrecks her so ul whe1
that principle of maternity is pros.ituted and
destroyed. Love of offspring is the leeiti.
mate child of love itself. But one can ex-
list without tie other. Few men have q
fixed love. They find life crowded with
places, ambitions and interests which oc-
oupy their attention and estrange
their love. You recollect how
beautifully this idea is expressed in Julia'e
farewell letter in Don Juan. No woman can
remain the empress of a strong mans love
and be the passionless being 80 common in
society: Some other poet (can you tell me
who it wasD has passionately expressed
mans yearnings in the hne Il love to comb

missionary, yet, as the false and insipid

Further conversation was just then inter-

hardly sixteen summers, whose cherry lips
and bright gleesome face would have cast no
discredit upon Hebe ere she was superseded
by the youthful Garrymede, as cup.

dressed the little interloper and asked what
brought her out to such dance? With q
ringing, merry laugh, she replied: "Why
my Pete brought me out here. We can have
all the musi, and make all the noise We like
here. In the city the 'dandy coppers'' are
awful strict and slap US in the cooler if We
talk out loud or play the piano above fu-

The GLoRE promptly informed the little
siren that he did not drink, whereupon she
retorted: "Then you're in the wrong castle

she shot away with the speed of an arrow
from the neighborhood of the unsocia
knight of the pencil.
THE GLOBE MISSIONARY HAS sALUTARY EFFECT.
Meanwhile the dance had been proceeding
fast and furiously. The frequent rotations Of
the crowd were doing their work and the rowd,
element was coming to the surface in double
quick order.
The presence of a GLOBE reporter becoming
known had greater restraining influence thar
a police force. The gang of male prostitutes
knew that disturbance would develop who
they were and result in placing their names
before the public. The result was the depart
ure of the most boisterously inclined portio1
of the crowd, but their places were soon filled
by crowd of youths from Minneapolis, anc
about this time the disgraceful orgit
assumed its }iveliest phases.
THE HOSTS.
Bob Diamond and his wife, known here
abouts as Jennie Green, moved about among
the crowd, seemingly intent on promoting il
every way the hllarity of the OCCASION In this
