"A Word to Mothers

4. 1ON MN ~ ES'SVSsoWSSSb8
Young Girls Are Given too Much.
Freedom in Gaddins the
Streets.
The mothers Of this town have
had q lessou-but it doesn't seem
to have done them any good. There
are just as many girls gadding
around town after school now,
getting their mail from private
boxes in the post Office as there was
ten days ago. Two years ago the
Gazette went after the mothers Of
Emporia for neglecting their
daughters and the result that half 3
dozen private mail boxes were dis
continued and q lot of little girls
that were in the habit of gadding
too much were kept III for time.
Those girls are now developing
into fine young women, but another
crop OF gadding girls has come on
and the Gazette hopes no ones
modesty will be shocked by saying
that these little hussies ought to be
spanked good and red. They are
between fourteen and seventeen
year old, and are just SO everlast-
ingly poy struck that they can't sit
still. If their mothers knew the,
type of boys and men-young
human pups-these girls are running
with their mothers would throw
fits. ~5s
But their mothers know nothing
Of their situation. They think their
little girls are SO sweet and pure
that nothing can harm them. Thu
truth is that these children are made
out of the same kind of mud that we
are all made of, and they are just
as liable to temptation as older peo-
pie and thousand times less ex-
perienced. And their mothers let
them CAD Commercial street after
school and flirt with all kinds Of
men, and then their mohers wonder
how the devil got them and think
the girls must ''take after their"
father. ,4l5
There are just two things that
will keep girls straigh at that age;"
one is plain clothes and the other is
home duties. The girls who make
fools of themselves in Emporia are
invaribly overdressed. They wear
buds that women of thirty would
hesitate about wearing. '." *55s
A little girl with too many and
too costly clothes on her back gets
self conscious and vain and loves
admiration-and you grown up
women know the next atop. A
simple, pure minded girl who has a
home, home work and home duties,
has her heart there, and no boy can
steal it. Only when maturity comes
and a real man comes and real
affair Of her heat comes will such
q girl leave home, and when only
after heartaches and heartrendings.
But a girl whose only place in the
home is at the table and the bed
won't love that home.
Work makes things sacred. The
child whose home memories are not
hallowed by..work, who is not need
ed and does not feel the need, will
not 1--we home. And if she doesn t
love the home of her /girlhood, she
will love no other. She will 60 any
where for anything. Home will
mean nothing..to such woman, and
if she is only respectable she will
only lack..the opportunity to be a
bad woman, and is good only
through circumstances or by the
necessity of an ugly face. She will
curse any man. she marries.
The mothers of this town who
are responsible for the girls who
CAD Com mercial street should stop
and think what they are doing.
These girls are no longer children.
They are at the impressionable

ABOUT HALF HOSE HOSE.
Des MONIES Register and Leader:
Very. interesting stories have been EEL!
appearing in the newspapers of late
to the effect that the style of the
half hose for ladies has come in and
that tho ladies were taking to the
idea with much favor because tho
hale hose were 80 much cooler than
the regular stockings.
Manasse Fraukel was asked yes
terday if the Des Moines stores are
handling half hose for ladies' and if
there was either sale or call for
them.
''There is nothing to it,, he said,
ut is all newspapering. Some
bright fellow was able to touch it
up with a bit of piquancy in the
first place and since then he has had
scores of imitators, good. coarse and
Indifferent. But it is all in the
Imagination. 1T is true that a
haberdasher in the east tried to in
terest the western storekeeper in
the idea few weeks ago, but did
not succeed. He was trying to ad-
vertise himself. There is only
one place in the world where women
wear half hose instead of stockings.
That is in Paris. For two years
now the Paris devotees OF the
salacious have affected half hose but
no ladies wear them, even there,
where the curious things of costum-
ing come from. 1T is a reflection
upon the women of this country to
talk or write of such a thing. 1t is
! an impossibiity in America, :es-
pecially in the west. Dies Moinee
women will never wear half hose
instead of stockings. They have
never called for them here and we
have none to cater to them with. .
The first place in Iowa where the
fad got a hearing even was in Sioux
City, where the newspapers insist
that Sioux City women have been
| calling for and wearing half hose
The Journal, usually staid and
modest, declared q few days age
that the ladies' were wearing the
half hose of the men when they
couldn It get what they wanted II
ladies' hose, and used mems garterE
to hold them up.
DesMoines women indignantly
deny that they are even considera
ing the idea. ''None of my &C
auaintances would he so immod
est" said one yesterday. ''rh'
loafers at the street corners OF
rainy days probably can tell yo'
whether anyone else does or no
after the next rain," she said.
II do not know whether th'
craze for half hose has reached
DesMoines woman yet or not, nov
it has become quite a fad in 1
number Of leading eastern cities.
asid Charles A. Bauer, a dry good
salesman, yesterday. ''some of tn
large hosiery houses started putting
them Oh the market this year as
fad. \ You know there has to b
lsome sort of q fad in all kinds o
goods every year to help the sales
and strange to say it has been
winner. The stocks which tn
large houses laid in are nearl!
depleted and the orders are comint
! in fast and furious to the firm WIZ
started pushing them. The hos
are trifle longer than mems hose
otherwise there is nothing to dis

how true it is, but the papers ii
some Of the cities allege that tn
women are so anxious for then
