and OF such a new class. that incredulity
is the reward for telling. But what is
plain TO be seen by the visitor is one
feature on the street On pleasant evenings
these young women throng the streets and
keep it, too, until the late hours and they
stand on the street corners and lounge and
talk, too, just as young men do elsewhere.

him TO advance he would be dsabused so
would be confused and trouble would re-
suit. The yourg woman of Gloversville has

Here, then. are conditions that are out Of
the common. The sociologist doubtless will
want to know what is the effect Of this
preponderance of women and independence

it on the ground will answer their questions
for there are comparative statistics.
There is thrift, for few spend all. Savings
are large. Women are owners of property.
There is little crime in the place and such
as there is does not include the women as
participants the cause AS compared
with other places the percentage of chas-
tlty is not lessened. Men marry young, and
that is local joke, for IL is said they are
not allowed TO escape. Intelligence is OF ex-
