IF 1 were a girl" said well
known New England clergyman re-
Gently, Il wouldn't parade too much
in public places" He mentioned a
number of other things that he would
not do. He would not think too
much about dress, or about parties,
CT about fashionable society. But
in regard to the folly of parading in
public places he was particularly en-
phatic. A good many girls acquire
the habit of parading the streets be

able it is Their motive at first is
simply amusement; afterwards they
like thus to draw upon themselves

attracted is seldom respectful, and
the very young man who will look
admiringly at the girl he meets un-
der such circumstances will probably
rejoice in his own heart that his SIS

much of this sort OF thing in many
of our smaller towns and villages,
and we are glad that the practice has
been publicly denounced from the
pulpit.-N. Y. Ledger.
