NO LAW WILL STOP FLIRTING
And Trouble Seems to Lie Rather
With the Girls Than With
the Boys.

Every person of sense knows that
there Is danger in flirting, but no law
will stop the practice or relieve it
of its danger. The trouble lies in the
girls rather than the boys. We have
been accustomed to think of our girls
as too modest and refined to firt.
Most of them are, but the proportion
that is not is altogether too large
larger than need be. Nowadays when
girl goes to work in store or fac
tory she seems to think she has been
emancipated from home control, and
all too often the parents make no
attempt to free her from this delusion
The consequence Is that she is in
constant danger because she is likely
in her new-found freedom to follow
the course of the pleasure-seekers
among her companions. Proper home
training and control of the girl until
she has acquired knowledge of the
dangers That beset young girl in the
world are better preventives of flirt-
ing and its accompanying evils than
all the laws that all the legislatures
could pass.--Rochester Union and AID
vertiser.
