others in a family. There is no social
life among them on account of all hav-
ing to work for living. There is ac-
tually no room In the house which Is
used for the comfort and pleasure OF
the young people; therefore the amuse-
ment for the working girl is be-
coming problem. There Is no Oppor-
tunity for the restraining influences
which protection gives. Again, there
are SO few means Of employment for
our girls. There is little or no incen-
tive for them, nothing to encourage
them. It is different with the south
ern girl from what 1t is with the north
ern girl. The former has plenty Of
room, plenty Of time and plenty Of
fresh air and sunshine, because 1t does
not cost so much 10 live; hence she can
have more room, more comforts. Many
Of our young girls do not know any
thing about responsibility or moral
obligation. They do not realize what
reliable transactions mean. There are
very few amusements which are IN
themselves uplifting, as many Of their
enjoyments bring them In contact with
the lower stratum. The dance halls,
cheap theaters and buffet fats are
complicating the problem seriously.
Many Of our better class keep their
doors closed to these girls, while the
lower class opens theirs. We should
get acquainted with the keepers
these lodging houses. Many Of th'
girls accept advice, while others resent
it. Not having friends when they
reach here, they often make the wrong
class. The White Rose mission, the

must be made social centers for young
