Complaint is made that many of the
young gentlemen of this village are, to
say the least, very thoughtless in the
matter of escorting young ladies home
in the evening, after social entertain
ments. On recent occasion a half
score of ladies were left to get home
without escort, while many young
gentleman present very ungallantly took
their hats and left without awaiting to
consider whether the ladies were provid-
ed with protectors. A lady not only dis
likes to appear upon the streets of the
village after dark without IN escort, but
it is not at all times safe for them to do
so. If the young gentleman would be a
little more thoughtful such complaints
would not be made.
