THE GIRL THAT CHEAPENs HER.
SELF.

'He Kissed me as a matter OF COURSE
the sweet-faced girl said. when she was
explaining why she was so familiar with
a man who had no intention of marrying
hcr. He said afterwards that all the
girls he had gone with had let him, and
they were all nice girls too, Just as nice
as I. And he had taken me out to the
theater and had shown me so much at
tention, and It had all cost so much that
when he put on that surprised air, why 1
felt that was in the wrong"
There are young men, not too scrupu-
lous, whom other girls have spoiled, who
will kiss every pretty girl who will allow
It, They are base enough to imply that
they should have some such return for
whatever entertainment they have Offer
cd But girl who can be deceived or
| moved by that kind of attitude has vein
| of weakness in her Any young man
worth marrying or worth keeping as a
friend will expect from a girl - whom he
| offers some social courtesy, nothing but
| the pleasure of her society. The very fact
| that he says other girls have permitted
such familarities should put the girl on
| her guard.
But II had held out" objected the
| girl, "he would not have come again"
| He would have come again; nc would
| have been piqued to think that here was
one girl with whom he could not have his
| own way. And even If he had not come
again, II would be clear gain to the girl
for she could have saved herself up for
some one worth while Any young man
who speaks of "all the girls he has gone
with" is not young man who can be
looked on as any kind of permanency
| even from the standpoint OF friendship.
| That girl held herself at too low ar
estimate, not only to the young man but
to herself. A girl should have very
strong respect for herself; this is differ
ent thing from concet. She should MOI
be vain Of her beauty or her money oil
her popularity; but she should be proud o.
her ideals The ideal OF purity embraces
much. It means purity of thought, the
casting out OF all that is mean or cruel
uncharitable or unrefned. And 1t should
mean purity of deed. The girl must nevel
DO anything which she would be ASHAMED
| to have the noblest men or women II
the world know about.-Maude Radfort

TURKEY SINCE THE WAR.
From the Wall Street Journal

(FrOm The Wall Street JOurnaI)
IT is noteworthy that the recent report
OF the United States consul-general at
Constantinople shows that Turkey has
been more prosperous since the present
war began than she was before. EXuber-
ant crops, prolific fisheries. fortunate
mining. Increasing manufactures and
trade, new railways, water and irriga-
ton works; the value of labor enhanced
fifty per cent. in two years, owing to its
increased efficiency, and other indca-
tions all points in this direction.
The East seems to be awakening. The
products of 1911 carried a home market
