Some of you will be going away
from home one of these days, and it
is not surprising if you feel timid
about entering a large city alone, but
with ordinary precautions and a
clear head there need be no danger.
Be very careful about talking to
strangers on the train. Even though
your journey be long and may be-
come tiresome, it would be better not
to accept advances from strangers
unless you feel sure that the people
are all right, and how can you know?
If you are puzzled about connections,
changing cars, etc, ask no n but
the conductor. He is able to give
you all information necessary, and it
is his duty to give it to you. Arriv-
ing at your journeys end, ask no II
for information except the uniformed
employees of the railroad company or
policemen. Do not take a cab with

it, and if you take a street car, ask
him to tell you which one or where to
go to take it. If you feel that you
lack courage to do all this, or want
advice other than these men a give
you, go to the women's waiting-room
and ask for the matron. Every large
railroad station has one in charge,
day and night, and many of them
have women employed by the Wo-
