could take care of herself. And
she giggles exultantly while wave
of recklessness and defiance sweeps
over her.
She drinks a third.
She feels joyous, and laughs inn
moderately and has a don't care
sensation.
Everything is ludicrous. Every
thing the man says is terribly
funny. From time to time she
drinks more. until she seems de-
tached from earthly and carping
cares and floating away on a soft
billowy cloud.
The girls defenses are nll gone.
She's dimIy aware thnt some
body's arms are around her and
somebody's lips on hers, and to her
there doesn't seem to be any future

Women of wealth and fashion

reputable as a man does when he
goes a fishing.
One society leader told me she

1t seems rather pathetic that
the clothes that the women wear
are so ugly, for, barring sickness,
there is nothing like a sea trip to
improve a woman's appearance.

round and round the chimney top
went the little storks.
How the boys stared and how
they hoped one of the little crea-
lures might fall down!
But mother stork watched them,
oh. so carefully and drilled them,
oh, so thoroughly.
One day one of the baby storks
got very tired and cross.

he said, in a grumbling voice. II

ground beneath the roof.

strongest little storks.

Just leave them alone. Do as I
tell you. 1t is of much greater i'm

storks, but we intend to get re-
venge on those boys"
One boy, in particular, bothered
the child storks more than all the
rest. He sang louder and shouted
noisier and seemed meaner than all
the rest.
I'VE must do something to that
horrid boy, anyway" said all the
little storks one day to their
mother.

People may think I'm putting too
much blame on the men in these
stories. Who is IT that takes girls
to places where they encounter dam

The girl ought to be blamed also,
lots of folks believe. She meets a
man half way, they say. She may

It's not only the weak girls who
succumb. have told how the white
sIavers work to get victims. Now
I'm going to tell how the ordinary
"rOunders" work. They are as
guilty as the sIavers.
They work principally among.
good girls who have had, or are
getting, good Quotations, live in
respectable homes, have clean
friends, look forward to a happy
life and are fond of good time.
Every girl, unless she's a freak,
is fond of a good time.
It's the girl like that, of ordin-
found easy by the FOUNDERS" who
are either old enough to know bet
ter -or young sapheads whose only
excuse is that they are fools.
It's an awful sight to see a man
like that in a cafe with little girl.
Now, take the case of the girl of
strong character, and of any age
between 16 and 20. She accepts an
invitation from some man that she
knows is considered fast,
That girl knows that she is play
ing with fire. But she has supreme
confidence in herself. She's certain
she can walk among temptations
and remain untarnished. They all
think that at first,
When they reach the resort
roadhouse or cabaret-and walk in,
she looks over the others there
with a sort of patronizing con-
tempt, as IL they were strange ami
mails guzzling drinks.
Her companion orders drinks,
and the self-abasing waiter shortly
produces a lean bottle from his
napkin.
The fizzing beverage is poured
out. One glass won't hurt. She
drinks It, It's cold and tastes good.
An orchestra is playing seductive
strains. All around is gayety and
laughter. The clink of glass and
gurgle of liquors blend with the
soft music.
Another drink won't hurt. The
man assures her it's very light. So
she takes 1t.
A minute later she's scared. Her
