In other words. nearly two-thlrds Of
our criminals did wrong as constantly,
as instinctvely and as persistently as
nine tenths Of their fellows outside Of the
prison walls did right; and these
wrongdoers were understood, under

A letter has just been received from
an actor. who seems to have a very high
ideal regarding young girls. and q very
generous desire to save them from folly.
He says I'm the course Of a seasons en-
gagement I come in contact with many
young girls OF a most tender age ana
beyond reproach; others Wild, but not
wicked, and some just standing on the
brink and ready for that terrible plunge
which means the beginning OF the end
Of youth and Attraetiveness. and hap
piness.
There Is no need 10 say that often
times the actor IL burdened with sccusa-
tions which might more fifty be borne
by the young sons OF fine families and
their mature fathers. who play truant
from the monotony Of home life. Often
have seen young girls taken aside back
OF the stage and warned by members of
the company to beware OF respected
business men. who were waiting In their
cars 20 convey them to late suppeTs.
MY blood has boiled when 1 have
seen these men. who stood high socially.
and who are trusted at home. leading
these young girls astrRy. Girls are good
listeners. and sweetness and sentiment
lead easily into folly and sin.
There must be some way to bring
influence 70 bear upon such girls and
cause them 10 realize the danger Of
their situation"
The writer OF the above letter suggested
the publication OF verse and prose which
would interest such girls. and. at the
same time, warn them. His own letter
ought to serve as warning. Il breathes

even her own dollar-without giving an
account of 1t to her husband. And l
am more than amazed that a woman of

reversed, and the woman should demand
that he turn over to her ell of his prop
