The conviction of Mrs. Hodge
means just that
Frances lived with her mother and
step-father.
If she wanted to go to the movies,
she went. If she stayed out all night,
not many questions were asked. If
she explained that she spent the
night with a girl chum, the explana-
ton satisfied.
The mother was easy-gOing, and
didn't like to be bothered.
She didn't know Frances was
going to dances that were mot nice"
and to all-night restaurants, and that
her companions were men and boys
of doubtful character.
She gTieved when she learned that
Frances was no longer chaste.
But she didn't see how she could
be blamed, for she had prayed earn
estly that her daughter be kept from
evil
Her lawyer fought valiantly to
shift the blame.
Blame the men, he argued to the
Jury. Blame the lustful bTUtes who
ruined this girl! Blame the prOpri-
etors of the dance halls and the res
taurants. Blame the city for per
hitting these resorts to exist! But
don't blame this anguished, broken
hearted mother"
