u ISHOP HlCKEY'S arraignment Of
y modern women whom he calls
''tinseled with fashion, slaves to
custom and who do not blush when
modesty is outraged in print, in song
and on the street" has raised a storm
of criticism from defenders Of the sex
who see the other side of the picture.
Women Of this kind are greatly in
the minority They are in evidence
because they have nothing to do but
parade around and advertise their lack
of brains and heart. But the great mass
OF women uphold the high standard of
morals despite constant temptation. No
one hears of them because they are too
busy to exploit themselves as the tin
seled' woman does"
Miss Katherine Lord thus took eN
ception TO the bishops words from the
fuilness OF many years experience with
the young women as a teacher, writer
and settlement worker

uate. and well known as an author.

sponsible for many of the most beauti
full children's pageants New York has
ever seen.
when you realize how inadequately
young people are provided with a nat
ural outlet for their eXuberant animal
spirits, especially among the ever
growing class of girls who work for
their living, 1t is remarka BILE how high
the standard of morals is, and how
strict their sense of pfopriety," she
said
The parents of one very pretty girl
insisted on her working in a factory
because they could be sure where she
was all day. At night she was expected
to come right home (no loitering), eat
her supper read for a little while and
go to bed. That'was her daily life The
parents allowed no amusement OF any
kind, excepting church and walk on

Sunday. She had no friends, and none
were encouraged.
Il am sure that many parents, for
fear of their daughters going wrong,
are treating them in the came way
forgetting that they were young them
selves and craved innocent pleasure as
all young things do. Fortunately, this
girl got interested in the settlement
and, after much persuasion, she was
allowed to take up more congenial work
and make Il few friends among her own
sex
Thousands of young people have no
places TO go. no place where they can
ne with other Young people, except the
dance halls. The girls have no place to
receive callers, and parents do not en-
courage the visits Of daughters beauX.

full girl who always received her callers

Miss Lord. in trying to supply the
recreation and interest needed by the
young people started different handi-
craft classes. notably lace making
classes that are now quite famous, but
she found that the public pageants pro-
vided young and old with the most fun
and afforded an educational value as

DON'T DO 1T.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 have been keeping company
with Il young man for about five
months and have gone out with him
two and three times d week. He
has given me a lot Of candy and
flowers. Do you think 1t would be
proper for me to give him present
for his birthday, which is very
soon? PUZZLED.
He has had the pleasure of your
company; that is enough.
If you wish to remember his birth
day, write him little note of congratu
Iation.

YOU WERE WISE.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am II and deeply in love with
a young man two years my senior.
He talks to me very often. but
has never asked me to go out with
him. Some time ago he asked for
my picture, which | refused to give
him. ANXIOUS.
! am glad YOU refused your picture
That was sensible
Be just as sensible and put some re
straint on your affections Don't Civ,
your love unsought, and don't forge
that you are only II, an age when tn
future promises so much to the nice
quiet girl who waits for it,

rrnconsciously Kayton drew himself
together and his muscles stiffened as the
door Of the outer office opened and Mrs.
Martin walked into the sanctum. She
had dressed herself with care that only
accumulated the ghastiiness of her APP
rgarance-the 1shy whiteness of her face
and the madness of anguish in her dark
eyes Slowly and deliberately as an au
tomaton. she advanced TO the desk, her
eyes fixed with deadly intensity on Kay
IONS impassive face.
Cod she exclaimed at last. in j, low
passionate voice, IN which utter hate and
utter despair were strangely blended
Cod, / wish I'd Let him kill you"
Kayton met her terrible eyes as calmly
IS II she had wished him a, pleasant good
morning
WHAT good would that have done?" he
asked, quickly, IF l hadn't caught him,
some one else would. You were playing
. game that You couldn't win. You knew
that You said SO. You told him last
night that every prison in the world
was waiting for him"
The woman turned away with s. groan
and sank YEARLY into chair. Hes
dead. Hes dead she moaned.
XIII himself" said Kayton, as quietly
as before. why, he killed himself when
he went into this thing. The government
would never have let him out He'd have

Mrs. Martin chol1ed and shook her head
wildly, as If struggling for breath.

YOU ARE A FOOLISH GIRL.
Dear Miss F,airfax:

DeuT MISS + dlTIdA'
I am in love with a first cousin
who is seven years my senior. TAX
ing advantage of leap year, / sent
him a proposal, at which he greatly
marveled. BY some mischance he
found out l sent it. We had few
interviews, In one OF which he
promised to marry me at the end of
two years II l remained true. AT
present he prefers to love Just as
two loving cousins would. Do you
advise me to wait? I am only six
teen. ANXIOUS.
The proposal was a childish pro-
ceeding, and ! hope you will retrieve
by claiming it was joke.
OF course, the probation is senseless
for he is your cousin, and a marriage
between cousins is not to be thought
of. Do end this foolishness, and see
that there is no repetition.

The Kah Gyur. or Tibetan Bible, con
sists of los volumes OF 1000 pages
each, containing 1888 separate books
Each of these volumes weighs ten
pounds and forms a package twenty
six inches long, eight inches broad and
eight inches deep. This Bible requires
a dozen yaks for its transport and the
carved wooden blocks from which it is
printed need rows Of houses, like

gols paid 1900 oxen for a copy OF this
Bible. In addition to the Bible there
are 225 volumes of commentaries
which are necessary for its under

His coldness indicates a dislike 20
your company, and YOU can never over
come that dislike by thrusting yourself
upon him. Stay away from his sisters,
or time your visits SO that you will not
meet him.
