CHICAGO, March 20.-The third meeting
of the series ''for women only" occurred at
the Casino rink this morning at 1890
o'clock. The discourse of Rev. Sam Jones
was announced for daughters in particular.
The majority of the 4,50O present were
ladies ranging from sweet 16 up to that in
definite period in female existence when
they are politely referred to as maiden
ladies'" After the preliminaries were
over, Rev. Sam Jones arose, pulled
OH his big OvercOat and proceeded.
The rink was cold and the
speaker physically debilitated, so that it
told on his mental energies. He did not
speak with his usual force. He said: The
face of my audience looks different from
that OF the meeting of mothers. But YOU
are only young-Old ladies after ALL This
bright hair will soon begin to silver and
girlhOod will come only in memory. have
selected this practical verse. This is
practical old world: ''But watch thou in
all things, endure afliction, and do the
work of an evangelist" We forget the
words of
FATHER AND MOTHER
during life, but their last words are dear to
us. These are the words of st. Paul to
Timothy, and through him to us. We are
enjoined to keep watch. The sentinel
| watches and saves the army from its enemy.
Keep watchful spirit. Without it we will
be rushed upon by sinful enemies and des-
troyed. First watch your company An
angel from heaven could not keep some
company that girls do in Chicago and not
be corrupt. Pure, noble girls stand alone
on the earth for beauty and glory. Boys go
in bad company, but the hope of this land
is in its pure girls. Oh. be vigilant. Guard
your parlor. Beware with whom and how
you go to ENTERTAINERS. The best way to go
| is not to go at all. Mr.. Jones then in
dulged in long description and denuncia-
tion OF the perfumed young man. He also
described a chase of young ladies after
| spider-legged DUDE. Tell me what your
associations are young lady and will give
| you glimpse of your history. Is he an
exquisite dancer? Does he wear perfect
| pants? Is his hair parted elegantly in the
middle?
DOES HE CLERK
in big establishment at $50 month eAE
spend $40 month for board, $50 month
for carriage hire and $50 month for thea<
ters? Does he convince you that he haf
not got a stingy bone in his body? Do yoE
| think him ''juSt nice?" Where does he get
his money? A merchant once asked an
employe who was getting $50 a month and
| spending S175 per month this question.
He said he got it from his step-mother. He
is not worth your hand, girls, if he is run
ming on that schedule. Old age and mar
ried life will bring penury and want.
/ am in love with these wool-hat
and jeanS-pants boys. He starts at $50 a
month, sticks TO business and his wool hat
till he gets thousand year, then gets to
be junior partner. then senior partner, and
finally owns the whole block where he does
business. You stylish girls do not like him.
| Well, he likes you as well, for when he
wanted a wife he went back to his country
home and married plain Mary Bower, and
for few years it was love in a cottage, and
now he has home ON Michigan avenue.
| Girls, tie to those
| WOOL-HAT BOYS.
They will take care of you. A beautiful
girl arranged to attend a wine supper las
week. When the night came she sent
word, Il can't go. My heart has been
| touched at the meetings." Now she has
] brought three of her associates here with
her. Oh! mothers, no matter what the
devil may owe you, if he sends you about
three drunken sons-in-law he will have paid
all the debt and you will receipt in full.
| Then, girls, watch those tempers. If a girl
is ugly to her mother, she will make it
/ warm in her own home if she ever has one.
Yes, girls, just say, ''l'll watch my tongue"
If you were men l would give it to you
about tattling. A general titterl. When
you speak be sure what you say is true;
see that it is kind and Chrlstian-like, and
then be sure you will do good by saying it.
Beware of what you read. L had rather
find my little girls playing with snakes
than to find them with bad books. What
do young girls want of
DICKENS AND SHAKFSPEAREo
Mature women may read them, but little
simpletons, never! A child was once seen
crying and crying over Dickens a4ittle Nell.
but her heart had no touch by the sight OF
a poor barefooted girl out in the snow.
Mothers, overhaul your libraries. A young
girl once said she was terribly bored by
reading the Bible. The poor, silly, sap
headed thing! Some mothers fix their
daughters to be damned. They insist
on having little parties for their
children. a little party is .
big party in short clothes. Then
comes the big party and then the hugging
german. want to have the grass growing
on my grave when my daughters are attend
ing germans. After the germans then what?
l will not go further. Take the words of q
profound priest who says that at his con-
fessional nineteen out of twenty young
women ascribed their fall from purity and
virtue to the influences of the ballroom.
The discussion closed with an earnest ap-
peal to women to become evangelsts, to use
their charms for God, to become true mis-
sionaries.
