Your advice to girls Is interesting
and undoubtedly good. but you i'm

the old country. and considered
handsome, with fair hair and blue
eyes. 1 have been much sought at

danger of being wrecked morally
and physically, by the same inno-

good teachings Of a Christian moth

am now happily married.

The wicked side Is very equally d.

~ I'm glad you're such a good
young man and 30 handsome. too.
What a lucky girl you married-and
what wicked. wicked deceivers all the
girls were you met before you married.
Really, 1t isn't safe to let such crea-
lures go abroad alone-is It?
Now. Scottie. there's a good deal Of
truth in what you say. Some OF the
girls are Just exactly as bad as a lot
of the men-and that's saying a good
deal.
A good girl, as you say, Ia the very
best friend young man can have-and
I'm glad that you, as a young man, ap-
preciate that fact.
! don't think that the girls are all
angels-by any means. I have seen de-
cent men fairly badsered into a COM
promising love affair by girls who pre-
tend to be decent.
There isn't a man In business in any
city in the world who is not run after
by women-all kinds of women, old and
young. ugly and pretty-but whisper.
Scottie honestly now, I've never wor-
ried much for fear the men would get
out of breath running too hard to es-
cape.
and she does as much harm as a bad
man-they're both OF them cruel and
despicable creatures. Let's be glad we
don't know any of them-too well.
ThankfuI-You don't know what is the
matter that you can't keep a single
beau? Well, honey. l think 1 know.
You are just young. The average girl

her attention. and then fit to the next
flower, before she attracts the real man
who really cares for her. Don't fret:
he'll come along sooner or later ana
meanwhile don't take these others seri-
orsly They are just playing. so you
play. too.
Incxperienced-There is no i'm
propriety in your going autonoo

tie home by II o'clock

quite customary for men ard girls
to go bathing together, ana there

there is in the thing your girl friend

that she Is not telling the truth.

for she has been guilty of one OF
the meanest things a woman can do.
