Mrs. Lynn Linton prods the sI-told-you-

magazine. In only one case does she
excuse the use of the time honored for

prods him with this reminder as a help
to her future advice when he comes home
late, dispirited, and what cid North would
call s~belubbered' because of his punish
ment at school for ignorance and indolent
disregard of orders.

the happiness of many a young girls

best reform a man by marrying him. 1t
IS a mystery to me how people can be SO
blinded to the hundreds of cases in every
community where lettering homes have
fallen and innocent lives have been
wrecked, because some young girl has

any contract of marriage there should
be convincing proof hat there has been
real and thorough regeneration
