me glow or nope? In making a long
and careful search Of the matter, it
has been discovered that it is rarely
the girl with home ties who becomes
lost. Nearly always it is the young
woman who is practically al ne in
the world Many people jump to the
conclusion at once that there is
man in the case. This is often the
truth. Returning from work she runs
across an old beau to whom she was
nearly engaged A glance of the eye,
a clasp of the hand, and the old fame
is relighted. A new romance begins.
On the impulse of the moment, he
says Let's get married! But it must
be now or never! I'm on my way to
catch boat to go where a new posi-
ton awaits nue.. Well have barely

She has scarcely more than the suit
she has on her back. Why hesitate?
The dull season Is coming on where
she works, and she knows that in all
probability she will be lai6 off to
seek new position. She realizes
what this struggle would be. She
places her little hand confidingly in
her lovers, they hasten to be made
one AS the night slowly falls, they
are travelling away from the great
city which is to know her never again.
There are other girls who grow
discouraged with their work and lack
Of appreciation. An angry word may
have passed between girl and some
co-worxer, who makes 1t so hard that
she secretly determines to go away
anywhere. She buys penny paper,
looks over the want column and reads
''WANTED-A refined young lady to
read daily and make herself useful to
elderly widow going abroad"
She secures the position, and accom-
panies the woman. Almost every line
of advertisement lures some one of
them to their betterment. Not half
dozen of them out of thousand can
be said to go wrong-follow the prim-
rose path. When the life a girl has
led is distasteful, her one earnest
wish Is to forget it. This she accom-
plishes by closing and locking the
door Of the past. No one cares, so
there's no one to write to, OF to tell
of the changes she has made for the
better. Those whom she knew were
scarcely more than acquaintances.
Why should she bother letting them
know what has become of her? Girls

excellent opportunities for selection In

vantages connected with buying stock

show ring has been a lure that has
