1.-The Kiss in the Dark" comes
from the Grand Guignol, In Paris.
It's principal characters are a man

him with vitrol, because he had
threatened to desert her.
Under pretense of forgiving
her, and speaking to her for the
last time, the SCARED victim lures

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1914-02-09

had occurred in LOS Angeles I
should have watched that man
and that show to see that he did
not repeat the performance with
a younger and more ignorant
woman. In Los Angeles once l
saw a young girl walking along
by herself at night and I thought
from her manner that she needed
my attention. So / followed her
till she stopped at the entrance Of
dime museum show and asked
for employment.
"The manager of the show told
her that he did need her services,
but at a branch of the museum in
another part of the city, and that
he would take her there. So they
started out together, I following
them. After they had walked
quite distance he asked her into
a drug store to have some ice
cream. l went in and had some
ice cream myself, thought l regret
to say l had to leave most of 1t
in order to follow them when
they got through.
II did not say a word until the
door of their destination was
reached. Then I walked up and
touched the girl on the shoulder.
The man started to buster. This
girl is going with me- I said. I'll
take care of her. l was not in
uniform, but without another
word he walked away"
1t is In such cases in preven-
tive and protective work that the
policewoman is most needed.

Dear Miss Grey: Last
evening / overheard a con-
versation between a business
man CD of this city and his
cash girl. It ran something
like this:
Now, you must jolly up a
bit with the fellows. Date one
of them out once in a while
and stop complaining about
them being bad men. They
are all right. You will ruin
my business. / won't have a
girl here who does not give
each customer the bright eye
and the glad hand"
Then he turned away and
started talking to someone.
(I suppose it was one of the
good customers"), The girl
looked puzzled; but did not
utter a sound. Today I see
her at the same job.
Cynthia, why do good girls
work for such brute business
men?
A men that will exploit
girls for the sake of business
is a detriment to. this city.
Say, why not try and put his
name on the unfair list? II
