The Girl To be Avoided.

Ladies' Home Journal.
She is the girl who takes you
off in one corner and tells you
things that you wouldn't repeat to
mother.
She is the girl who is anxions
to have you join a party which is
to be "a dead secret" and which
because people are very free and
easy makes you uncomfortable and
wish you were at home.
She is the girl who tries to in
duce you, ''just for fun,"to smoke
cigarette or take glass of wine;
and you don't know, and possibly
she doesn't, that many Of the
sinners of to day committed their
first sins ''just for fun"
She is the girl who persuades
you that to stay at home and care
for and love your own, help mother
and to have your pleasures
at home and where the home peo-
pie can see them, is stupid and
tiresome, and that spending the
afternoon walking up and down
the street looking at the windows
and people is "just delightful"
She is the girl that persuades
you that slang is witty, that a
loud dress that attracts attention
is Stylish" and that your own
simple gowns are dowdy and un-
desirable. She doesn't know,
nor do you, how many woman
have gone to destruction because
of their love for fine clothees.
She is the girl who persuades
you that to be OH every familiar
terms with three or four young
men is an evidence Of your charms
and fascination, instead of being,
as it is, an outward, visible sign
of your perfect folly.
The is the girl who persuades
you that it is very smart thing
to be referred to as q gay girl"
She is very, very much mistaken.
And of all others, she is the girl
who, no matter how hard she may
try to make you believe in her, is
to be avoided.
