finally, at some teasing remark Of hers,
it tWealed her ear. Had the child
been older. the look in the mans eyes
as he watched the fluctuations Of color
in her pretty face would have warned
her that she was playing with fire;
that his respect for her would have
been greater had she shown. in the be-
ginning that the sign. Hands Off,
was on her person, altho invisible to
the vulgar eye.
This is but one of many instances
of the free-and-easy actions on the
part of men permitted by girls.
In 999 cases out of 1000 a man will
not take a liberty with a girl unless
she allows it.
I wish girls would bear this fact in
mind. Men are what they make them,
what they allow them to be. When a
young fellow told another man in my
presence last week that such and such
girl was a Jolly Sort" and while out
driving had stopped at roadhouse
with him. gone into the parlor of the
house and taken a glass Of ginger ale
while he had one of whisky, was not
surprised that the man of the world
to whom he impaired this fact re-
marked: Crooked, eh?''
That the young fellow (who had he
not been a cad or a conceited boy
rence) flushed and laughingly denied
the allegation did not alter the fact
that the conclusion drawn was in
evitable. The young girl may not,
probably did not, deserve the structure
passed upon her, but by her free-and-
easy behavior she lost something she
never can regain.
Men may pay attention to girls who
| ion hn hot
them doubtful liberties-but they like
them because they are what they term
fun Such girls are not the ones
for whom men live, for whom they
sacrifice bad habits, for whom they
look in seeking a wife, and for whom
they would willingly give up life. The
true love Of good man is worth
winning. 1t is not won by the girl
who lowers herself to a mans level.
To her might apply the time worn
toast of man to 1.-THE New Woman
once our superior, now our equal
| A man must look UP to that which
he loves. And a hard and fast rule
a man does not run after a car when
he has already caught it, or, when it
stands at the corner waiting for him
and ready to start or stand at his will.
And the girl for whom men live-and,
| if need be, die-are those who are
ideals as we'll as companions.
Dear girls, be happy, be merry,

We are accustomed to seeing the
sign Hands Off" hung upon dainty
fabrics-pure. spotless materials that
would be injured and stained by the
touching of a gloved or bare hand:
People who admire the pure beauty OF
the article thus marked do not resent
the sign. They see the wisdom of it
and are willing to obey the mandate.
For an article once soiled never looks
the same again. All the chemicals in
the country cannot give it the peculiar

chief beauty.
To those who appreciate the beauty
