ed necessary that petticoats should fit

should be we'll cut. Again and again
a costume is seen which in itself is
very smart, yet looks somehow exceed
ingly dowdy and quite lacking in style.
The real reason for this is that the
petticoats worn beneath it are not well

ways neat never seem to realize how
much thought and care should be be-
slowed upon this particular article of

THE EAST" YOUNG MAN.
The Duty of Fathers to Portray Him In His
True Light.

The Duty of Fathers to Portray Him In His
True Light.
If it is said of man that she has
seen the world" in other words, is
fast, there is instantly a singular
glamour about him in the eyes of
young girls-girls as good and pure as
danger about such man, and there
are girls for whom danger, even of this
sort, has a singular fascination. The
girls know that these men are bad.
But SO long as they respect me
and treat me as a lady where's the
harm" says the young woman when
she is called to account for her COM
pany.
'As a matter of fact, the exact
things which a man does to earn the
reputation of being fast are neither
known nor dreamed of by the girls for
whom such a reputation has this CLAM
our. The trouble lies in the fact that
our girls are brought up under
system which hesitated to call up
spade by his right name. We are
afraid of offending or of shocking GER
tain fancied sensi bilities, whereas, in
reality, we make the greater mistake
of making diamonds out of spades and
giving our girls wrong idda of actual
things. \ 1t is all very well to
be tender in our regard for the feel
ings of our girls, but there is limit,
point at which discretion becomes
crime. And that point has been
reached when girls are allowed to
know and associate with such men all
unconscious of the danger. When
every mother or father, or person with
whom the duty may rest, classes the
fast man where he belongs, and por-
trays him in his true light, it will be
better for our girls. 1t is high time
that some of them should know that
the man who leads anything but
pure life buys, in every instance, that
experience at tremendous cost to the
girl who marries him. "-Edware w.
