Stanford objected to this propo- sition. He saw no need for any such ac- tiop, which would materially delay the work of the committed.
 Mir. Nathan moved that the consldera. tion of the report be postponed for an hour while members of the committee examined 1t.

Here is some common sense
advice given by "A Missouri editor
to the girls of his town: Don't
hang around the depot unless you
are going away or are there to
meet friends. DON'T go to the
postoftice and shove about in n
miscellaneous crowd. Don't go to
church and take back seat with
your escorts, then whisper and
giggle throughout the sermon.
Don't be loud and, boisterous and
slangy. Stand on your dignity
and don't form acquaintances
quickly. Don't carry your heart
on your sleeve and don't throw
yourself into the arms of every
good looking drummer or well
dressed stranger who comes to
town, Be womanly, be modest, be
thoughtful and serious at times
don't unsex yourself, and thus lose
woman's sweetest charm"
