R,e,s,and I.etter

We are told by certain writer OF 4
COMPANY oil young ladies who won't out
to meet oortain young man. This was
many osuturles ago but neverthelsas the
writer tells us that just one half of those
young ladies' were foolish. and the other
half were wise. Well. now we are not co.
Ing to dlsputs tho veracity OF this ancient
recorder, but since true rights never con 4
fict We would Just like to look for d
moment at the iustness OF the assertion,
or the accusation, whloh ever you may
prefer to call 1t. Now then. as We should
know tho times In which lived these
young ladies' were the dark ages In the
history OF tho world. there should I'D
great lentency on tie part of the narrator
knowing that In those days there wera
many difficulties to overcome. many INF
oonveniences to encounter, many dlsap.
pointments to bear with. and in fact d
multitude OF unsurmountables to over,
come and suhdue. You will remember that
this WAS just aDout the dawning of lew
ora. time when some said the world was
turned upside down.
In view OF the fact that SO many
changes were being made and that the
oircu instances under which those young
ladies' were compelled TO live we are
somewhat Inclined to the belief that they
were not foolish, as we would term it,
but simply overlooked the matter oil
taking an extra supply OF oil from which
their Tampa might be replenished IL occa-
sion required 1t. We might well say that
II those young virgins had lived In this
our day that they would not have been
wise. But what are we to say of a young
lady who forgets equally as important
matters In this glorious and enlig htened
age of the nineteenth century.
young lady who goes out for her
accustomed walk through the twilight
shades OF evening. and coming In contact
with certain young man whose COM

but worse still she had properly adjusted
her sandals. though she had not placed
therein u pair OF hose.
This caused the question "wbat shall I
do II the wind blows" to pass rapidly
through her mind. That must have beeu
trying ordeal.
We are not able to say whether the wind
blew or not tie Inference 10 that I'D
the critical moment passed. 1t brought re-
lief to tho troubled mind.
