GIRLS IN CITIES.

The young girl who tried dramatic ally to take her life in New York re- gently through disappointment and disillusion placed the blame upon the wrong shoulders. It fin no degree rests upon either the business or pub lie social side of American life, says Washington Post. The responsibility for such an outcome must be borne by those who are in duty bound to give their children right views of life. The sight of young girl, however preco- cious. going to a city like New 1crk without friends or advisers to Sh0fn she would listen. and very evidently head-strong and impulsive. there to spend two years writing a book and precious manuscripts which she TO mantically wishes to be buried with her, calls forth nothing but pity. But this sentiment does not obscure the fact that the girl was permitted to gain false view of herself and her relations with the world. Acts such as hers in no degree justify the whole sale condemnation of the business life of our cities or warrant the sweeping statement of young girl facing at once both womanhood and eternity in saying that "a girl cannot get along honorably in New York"
