fol'owlug advice to young girls. She
undoubtedly "kuows how It Is her.
.elf," or did long, long ago.
A wom IN, safeguard is to keep
mans hands oG her. II you need
his assistance in walking take his
arm instead OF him taking yours.
Just tell him in plain english to
"hauds tfi'' He may 10! !ik, Il at
at frst. but he will respect you in
the future ten fold more. Man will
be and do j,st what the women will
allow them to do. Men will not do
to irast. Give q man your arm and
you will 6nd him very confidential,
ard no will take great many priv.
il.ges he would no. take il lie was
not permitted to do so. He will give
your arm many loving squecz,s aud
sly twists that he could have no op.
Of doing, and the opportu.
nifty ia just what he Is after, A few
words more Of advice and I close.
Keep young girls Cd the street eS-
cept when they have business. Your
girls can walk alone just as we'll as
your boys. Don't allow your girls II
they must have a beaux. to 60 with
a boy much older than themselves.
II possible, instill into their very na.
lures that they are not safe in ths
hands Of any man-prsachers not
