AN OLD GIRL Who Knows How
IT IS HERsELF.-A woman's safe
guard IS to keep a mans hands off
her. If you need his assistance in
walking take his arm instead of him
taking yours. Just tell him in plain
English to Hands Of" He may not
like it at first but he will respect you
in TIE future ten-fold more. Men
will not do to trust.
Give a man your arm and you will
find him very confidential, and he
will take a great many privileges he
would not take if he was not permit
ted to do SO. He will give your arm
many loving squeezes and ely twists
that he could have no opportunity of
doing, and the opportunity is just
what Re is after. A few more words
of advice and l close. Keep young
girls off the street except when they
have business. Teach them it is un-
necessary to go the post Office every
time they 60 out. Your girls can
walk alone just as we'll as your boys.
Don't allow your girls, if they must
have beau, to go with boys much
older than themselves. If possible,
install into their very nature that
they are safer in their own hands
than they are in the hands of any
man-preachers not ezcepted.-OIsve
Logan.
