Girls of Tight Dresses
And 'Trotting' Streets

Three "don'ts" for girls were issued
today by Mrs. Mary Bohnefeld police
matron, who has come in contact with
several hundred young women during
the year. She says:
Don't trot the streets and make a
spectacle of yourself.
Don't paint and powder and burden
your head with false hair.
Don't wear tight immodest dresses. p"
These three faults, Mrs. Bohnefeld de-
clared, have figured in the case of
every girl brought to her notice this
year.
Il have found" said Mrs. Bohnefeld,
that the hayward girl. the girl who
will not be controlled by her parents,
who frequents the streets, who paints
and powders and wears great lunches
Of false hair and tries to be as fancy
as possible, and who thinks it smart to
wear immodest clothing, is the kind Of
girl who finally lands in the police sta
ton. These three faults invariably go
together"
