Icertaiuly must and do unhesitating-
~ corroborate the assertions already
made as to the improperly ofanyyoung
woman visiting places Of amusement,
of any class whatever, with young men
other than the one to whom she is en-
gagged. By her acceptance Of invita-
lions to visit such places with the per-
sons designated, she disregards the most
sacred of promises, for when she pro-
missed to marry young man 1t is pre-
sunIed to be understood that she also
promised to fulfill that promise in every
particular. Were she satisfied with
him to whom she gave, or seemed to
give her hand, it is hardly necessary to
say that she would not for moment
entertain a desire to accompany any
other than the one whom she truly
loves at any time or any place Ofamuse-
ment whatever.
1t is one of the greatest desires of
young woman-and it u.s. may be said,
characteristic Of her-to get as many
beauX as possible. and if one Of them
asks her to marry him she very often
accepts him because she knows she is
getting old and fears none Of the others
will ask her. Having accepted him I'M

she must get rid Of him to whom she
Is engaged. She will not tell him that
she wishes bis visits to be discontinued

thus considered matters she concludes
that the best plan to pursue would be to
keep him at distance, though not
so far as to actually tell him that she
is done with him, but 80 far as will pre-
vent him from interfering with the
other young mans visits. II the thea

more is thought of the poor, neglected

out, the most honorable. But when

man begins gradually to discontinue
his visits the dirt will be concerned.
Then what would she give 10 have her
