THE Rreakdown.'

There's SO much of truth in the
nizable and SO necessary, that We ask
the readers of this department to con-
slider it carefully. 1t is a little over
drawn for our section. perhaps, but
isn't it true in substance-this com
ment from this weeks Collier's?:
Once the virtue of women was safe
guarded by three great controls. These
were the religious control, the family
control, and the control by public
opinion In a watchful community in
the earlier times the evening hours of
the girl were watched over. When
she went out it was to a friends house
with an older woman within call.
When she made an outing, a picnic,
a dance, a theatre party, it was with
a group of young persons, all of them
known to each other. And all the
group were personally known to the
community ia which they did their
merrymaking, so that social control
wrapped round each one of them. No
hour of recreation but was passed
That was the life of the girl in the
American community in earlier days.
And now in the large cities comes a
sudden removal of almost all observa-
ton from the girls daily life. Her
evenings are her own, as never before
In history. She is free to go out
among strangers, to be introduced by
stranger to a stranger and so passed
along 10 whatever unknown predatory
male deems ii worth his while to reach
out for her. She is free to wander into
the public dance halls which are the
chief form of recreation in the cities
and spend five hours in dancing with
strangers till excitement, and possibly
also wine, have weakened her will. And
among those crowds of pleasure seek
efs not one person cares whether She
emerges innocent or tainted. And al
that night life is surrounded by the
vast secrecy of the city. OF the home
restraint we have the testimony OF
many girls that they have growT
weary. Parents state that the girl i

THE ANGLERS SONG.

An inward love breeds outward talk.
The hound some praise. and some the
hawk.
Some better pleased with private sport.
Use tennis: some a mistress court;
But these delights / neither wish
Nor envy, while ] freely fish.
Who hunts. doth oft to danger ride:
Who hawks, lures oft both far and wide;
Who uses games shah often prove
loser, but who falls in love
Is fetter'd in fond Cupid's snare;
My angle breeds me no such care.
OF recreation there is none
So free as fishing is alone:
All other pastimes do ON less
Than mind and body both possess;
My hand alone my work can do
So | can fish and study, too
care not /, TO fish in seas
Fresh rivers best my mind do please.
Whose fleet. calm course / contemplate,
And seek i'm life To initiate:
In civil bounds | fain would keep,
And for my past offences weep.
And when the timorous trout | wait
To take. and he deVourS my bait
How poor a thing. sometimes, | find,
win captivate a greedy mind:
And when none bite. | praise the wise
Whom vain allurements ne'er surprise.
But yet, though while ] fish / fast.
/ make good fortune my repast;
And therennto my friend in vite.
In whom | more than that delight;
Who Is more welcome to my dish
Than to my angle was my fish.
As well content no prize TO take.
As use of taken prize 10 make
Fer so our Lord was pleased. when
He fishers made fishers of men.
Where (which is in no other game)
man may fish and praise His name.
The first men that our Saviour dear
Did choose to wait upon him here,
