To the Girls.

what you are doing, what a kiss
means, how you are degrading both
yourself and your companion by
doing so, when you have no true
right to accept such a token?
A kiss should be heartfelt token
OF affection, which is mutual, and
in which two hearts beat as one."
When given thus, the blush Of
shame would not creep DER your
pretty cheeks when you recalled
that moment. You would find but
few on whom you could truly bestow
such precious token, and keep
yourself unpolluted and clean. You
would shudder at the thought of
exchan ging your pure breath, with
a liquor and tobacco stained one.
Your highest indignation woulb be
reused if mere acquaintance asked
for such privilege.
When you have become AGO TAINTED
with a young man and met him once
or more, do you know what kind of
man he is, both in soul and BODY?
Ii he be not your chosen one, YOUR
highest ideal Of manhood, are YOU
going to mar yourself by satisfying
his low desires and put yourself on
an equal basis with him? Can YOU
let your pure lips be thus stained,
your body embraced by one, who
cares for naught but to satisfy a low
desire, mere sham affection? Can
you feel that you are the pure, true,
honest girl that you some day will
want some one to find you?
Can you when that happy day comes
feel that you return all your love for
his? Can you say that you are all
that true wife should be; one with
lips and Soul unpolluted by lips that
have slipped the poisoned goblet and
partaken of all the vices that ac-
company in the lowest of all places,
the saloon?
You, who cannot say so, think a
moment. You, yourself would not
60 into asaloon, would you? Oh no!
But compa nion, who is himself a
saloon, comes from saloon, calls
upon you, with the fumes of liquor
pouring from the door of the saloon
within him, filled with the lowest
desires of human being, asks for a
kiss. You grant it. How much
better are you than he? But very
little. Your lips are stained by his
foul, polluted, liquor stained, saloon
stained lips. Water cannot wash it
off.
Cease this degrading affair!
Pick yourself up and raise your
self to the highest ideal of woman
hood. Do and live that you need
never be ashamed of letting your
husband know and hear of all your
girlhood moments; that when your
children look up in your face they may
truly feel and see a mother, who has
lived and been and is woman o1
high ideals; who is true to God, her.
self and her husband, and is 9
woman, whom she is not ashamed
that her children may be like.
Besides the liquor stained lips.
there are the low, frivolity stained
lips. They are stained by the
many kisses from all sorts of friv.
olous girls. Then you are the next
to share that tainted affection with
it's lost SAVIOR and wasted depth ot
true feeling. Yes, a part Of which
has been left on this girls lips, and
low, frivolous, degrading sentiment
on that girls lips, with nothing buts
ality. This, when yo9 are pot to1
accustomed to the sin; will mak'
you blush when YOU meet YOU
victim, Or y6uf prey.
Ybu, who fnust kiss, and that i
we'll, for all, have your mother
and fathers, many Of whom, if yo'
only knew, are longing for a geo.
hug and kiss. There you may lavisl
your affection truly until you fin
your ideal man. There they will d
] good rather than efwise.
Men, tho they arethe stronger sez
look to woman for their ideals. Yer
few Of them choose those girls fc
life companions, whom they can hu
and kiss upon mere acquaintanc'
This proves that they are NJ
their ideals. Tho of the stronge
lsex, his disposition is not III
woman's. If woman, girls includes
FLOWERS her own ideal self, she lowel
man also.
