And yet there arc many OF our free born
daughters OF Independence who need 10
rest rict themselves In their ideas OF liberty.
i have known n vast number of SEEM
ingly modest and reputable girls to sly ~
boast Of there ability TO obtain presents
from young Men, and who sported jewels
and articles Of personal adornrlent OBJ
tanned from numerous admirers and worn
by them with evident pride. A young
lady in one of the lesser Western towns
distinguished herself by entering into a
limited engagement OF marriage with
seven admirers, from each OF which sha
obtained a ring. These rings she retained
after the rupture OF the engagements. and
on her final marriage TO another adinlrcf
she displayed unique bracelet which. she
smilingly informed her friends, was mtde
out Of the engagement rings OF her dis
carded lovers.
That this style OF young woman exists
in America to the extent sufficient to
form type, is proven, think, by the old
song with the catchy, air which IL
played 10y street bands and sung at thea
tres and of which the following verse is q
sample:
'Alihouch don't intend to wed
To settle down IN life,
I've promised nearly forty men
That viii he their wife.
And for n kiss theJ gave TO mt
Euu many "a costly thing.
But ON my word. ] don't intend
To wear the wedding ring.
Surely in no other country could such n
song be written of respectable society. or
sung 10 a respectable audience Yet il
appeared few years ago ia magazine
which ia devoted TO giving pleasure 10 the
home circle rnd which falls into the hands
ofyoung girls.
