only safety is to flee, as she would
from any other
young womanhOOd are not half as
menacing as they sound. The street
masher is cur dog with a yellow
streak in him, who quaIs before the
contemptuous glance or steady eye,
and who sinks away at the slightest
intimatiOn that he is going TO be pun
ished for his offence As for the fir
tatious employer. any girl with an
ounce of discretion in her head can
sidestep his obnoxious attentions OF,
il this can't be done, she can put on
her hat and go out and look for an
other situation
Beauty doesn't have to be sacrificed
to the beast unless she is willing 10
be a victim.
There are exceptions TO every rule.
Occasionally innocence is betrayed, and
virtue is prosecuted, but, generally
speaking, the girl whose employer
makes love to her, and the young WOm-
an who is followed on the streets have
only themselves to blame. They have
at least looked willing
The girl who is always rolling her
eyes at her employer and lOoklnS
scntimentally at him, and who sits
on the desks and swings her 1eeL
and gives the office, as far as she
can, an atmosphere Of bOudolr,
hasn't any right TO complain when
her employer chucks her under the
chin and calls her by her Christian
name and begins the days work with
a kiss
Her own Fault.
And what right has the girl who
dresses flashily and cOnspicUOusly on
the street, and whose eyes are row
ing hither and thither in search Of
admiration, and who CYCLES and laughs
loudly in public places TO complain If
some man mistakes her for the sort
of woman she looks like instead Of
the kind of woman she is? The girl
who dresses quietly, and who con-
ducts herself with dignity, who keeps
her eyes steadily before her and goes
sedately about her own affirs, can 90
unmOIested from one end Of the cOun-
try to another.
In bewailing the danger that a girl
is in from the men she meets my
correspondent OverlOOks the fact that
this peril is frequently imaginary.
There is nothing more common than
for a wOman's vanity to make her
think that men are in love with her
when they are not, and that she is
pursued by those who, in reality have
never given her a second thought
Therefore, 1 advise my correspond
ent to pluck up her courage Per
haps she is not as beautiful as she
imagines, nor so ravishing to the
masculine fancy, and she may even
exaggerate the danger that she IS IN
when she daily takes her walks
abroad At any rate, I Will warrant
that il she viii dress sensibly and
act sensibly men will no further mo-
lest her.

If it were true, but methinks you nat

masher species is far too common In
this city, but the entire masculine
portion Of the community does not be-
long to that loathsOme family The
flirtatious employer is also unhapplly
still found in our midst, but he IS q
rather rare bird Most men have all
they can do to hold their own with
their competitors, and have 70 hustle
so hard in business hours that they
have no time for Irritation, and are
more interested in whether their
stenOgrapher can spell than they are
in the size and color Of her eyes.
OF course, Z am not denying that
there are leering, ogling men on the
street that do speak to pretty girls,
and who are as offensive and insulting
as possible. In every such case 1t Is a
wOman's duty to herself and every 9TH
er woman to turn the offender over
to the nearest policeman, and appear
against him in court so that he may
get the proper punishment This
course Of procedure would soon exter-

A Bad Employer.
Also occasionally, but not very often,

LARGE FARMS

Too many large farms in Texas say
the people who lie awake nights think
ing up plans for our happiness. Really
it does look that way. The figures show
that the average farm in Cameron
county contains 40 acres. Too much
space for one man to occupy on this
crowded earth. Once the poet Gold
smith wrote:
"A time there was, e'er England's ills
began,
When every ZOO of ground maintained
its man.
At the rate of four rOOds to the acre.
the average 40 acre farm should sup
port 3,OS0 persons. However, there is
no occasions to crowd the population
together so closely i'll the Rio Grande
Valley, but it is easy to see that more
carefully cultivated small farms will
mean a more prosperous condition of
the country. Wealth will be better dis
tributed, and it will make better times
for the merchants as well as for the
farmers.

PEACE ON THE RIO GRANDE.

One of the interesting things about
the acute situation IN the capital of Mex
leo was the way in which it affects the
people in the Brownsvillee cOuntry-Or

Brownsville has appeared to be the
least bit worried about his proximity
to the land where the trouble lies.
(Really the place where the trouble is
is separated from us by many, many
leagues Of mountain and plain.)

and Mexicans, are interested. Just in

As to danger it will be worth while for

the fact that there is nothing alarming

why the people are not alarmed.

at seems to me that the Autumn
would be the time Of the year for
romance and love, instead Of in the
Spring. I don't know why there 10 al

slushy in the Spring, but you always
