pounds the figures of the former high

In value. however, the years receipts
of sugar fell nearly $50 600 below those

BY FRANCES SHAFFER.

After all. there is quite a bit in a
name, and one thinks that the New
York pastor who is planning to open
! folk with an eye single to matrimony
! "spooning parlors'' for the haven he is
TO offer.
2 However, perhaps one should not be
too critical of that, because back of
the name, which really does seem a bit
offensive, stands service which may
mean very much to those whom 1t is
destined to reach.
For these parlors are to throw open
their doors to the many working girls
who live in small furnished rooms and
who have absolutely no place to take
their young men friends. Nominally,
they are church parlors prepared for
the use of folk whose homes are we'll
equipped with rooms where families and
friends can gather in pleasant seclusion;
but they have been little used, and the
pastor proposes that they shall be prac-
teal and really useful to those whose
need is the greatest.
For he counts it rather more than a
pity that a church should furnish two
big rooms. make them coy and inviting.
then close their doors. while hundreds
of young men and women drift any
where and everywhere because they have
no real homes and no fitting place to
gather. And so he is planning to offer
the pleasant shelter of those parlors,
safely chaperoned, and with moving pic
lures and music open to all.
Church's Timely Help.
And as one reads of the increasing
number of policewomen appointed in diff
ferent cities and summer resorts to stand
guard over girls and young women ap-
parently in need of kindly watching, il
seems rather timely for a church to reach
out its protecting arms before the trouble
begins.
Boston has what it calls its ''matron
of the streets" woman who comes
from the exclusive Back Bay. giving of
her time and service TO become a real
friend to the submerged girls and women
in her city and to save others from
similar fate. She says that much of
the trouble starts in the pleasure-resorts.

reflected a degree of irreguarity which

A deterrent factor was found in the

tinued long after the markets close.
There was some disposition also to pay
cred, last Saturday, before a group of
bankers in the Middle West by a repre-
sentative of an influential local banking
institution, in which d distinct note of
caution was sounded. The day brought
a number of railroad earnings few of
