here where l meet a great number /
OF girls and young ladies; some are
married, some single, and l know
from actual experience that the |
young lady who does not care to fiirt |
certainly will not~do it. But they are
scarce and far between who can |
make their eyes behave.
No young man is going to tag a |
young lady about. the streets and an
noy her unless she gives him a good |
chance. The young lady of today /
who goes down the streets of Chi
cago and attends strictly to her own
business is not bothered by any So
called street masher. Please tell me
how any man is going to set in a
train or street car and f1irt with a
young lady if she keeps her eyes to
herself and attends to her own bust
ness. The majority of us young men
in Chicago and other cities have sis
tiers of our own, and l don't think
any young man wants to mistreat
any girl or young lady who is striv-
ing to lead straight and moral life.
If you mothers would get together
and cut this hobble and split skirt
stuff you would be doing a great
thing for this country, as the styles
of today are what are running the
young ladies of Chicago and other
cities. They are what cause the
young man to stand, gaze and look
wise and cast slurTfng remarks.
Don't you think that if you saw
man going down the street or getting
on a street car with his trouser leg
split open up to the knee that you
would stand and look and say, How
awful that looks" Sure, you would.
If you mothers would put good, COM
nonsense clothing on your daugh-
tiers and cut out this fussy stuff you
will conquer two-thirds of this f1irt-
ing, and the other third can easily be
mastered by giving your daughters
a good, sound talking to; tell her to
keen her ewes to herself. To he s1re

"One observation leads MS 10 the
