Not that I scared so far above
Myself as this great hope to dare;
And yet 1 half foresaw that love
Might hope where reason would despair.
All the world loves a lover, one OF
the kind that steps boldly forward and
seeks an introduction, calls upon her
and wins her in the regulation fash.
ion and aboveboard. But all the
world detests a cur who marks out
a pretty, innocent young girl with a
sinister intention of making love to
her by stealth, then leaving her to
awake from q broken love-dream aa
best she can.
Nine times out Of ten he manages
to pick up acquaintance with a girl
in a way which does not arouse her
suspicion, contriving to meet her &C
cidentally, as she supposes. He puts
a thought in her innocent mind that
their meeting has been a romance
so sweet that no one else must share
their secret. He asks the girl to meet
him at a certain place. II she an
swers that she Is not certain as to
whether she can come, she will have
to ask mother, he begins serious ar
gument against her course, which
fairly bewilders her. He assures her
that mother would forbid their friend
ship and that would break his heart.
The little demure maid takes the
first wrong step when she consents to
make her way out Of her home to
meet him without any one knowing 1t.
| Girls should know that an honorable
man would not ask them to keep any
thing, no matter what 1t was, from
their mother or close friends, who
are for their interests first, last and
at all times.
The man who coaxes a girl to meet
him clandestinely is her enemy, with
usually a dark past, which he could
successfully hide from an inexperi'
enced girl, but not from those more
worldly-wise than she.
She who consents to meet a man
clandestinely in a park or at some
street corner, restaurant, or dance
hall not only brings suspicion upon
herself, but keeps respectable men
from her side. She is apt to be taken
for the kind Of girl that she Is not
