There's a quick retort aud a
aippant jest from lips that
should be repeating the multi
plication table at home, and
bold glance or brazen stare
from ey es that should be yelled
in maiden modesty. Poor little
girls, not to know how much
more precious than all things
born they are, when they prop
erly estimate their own worth
and prize themselves at it!
Victor Hugo once said that he
was one of those who fall
speechless in the presence of
young girls and flowers deem
ing them holy. And still they
come to be unprized by them
selves. neglected by their prop
er protectors and taken at their
own estimate by the world.
And it isn't their fault. Most

ers who can tell them of the pit

Young Girls on Streets.

with smoothed hair and fresh
round faces, girls who ought to
be home with mother aud faith

groups of twos and threes at
hours long0past curfew time on
