None but the residents consider
Mount Mark, Iowa, much of town,
and the very most patriotic of them
all has no word OF praise for the ugly
little red G. B. & Q. railway station.
Mount Mark is anything but proud OF
the little station. at the same time ii
certainly does owe the railroad and the
state debt of gratitude for it's pres
ence there. 1t is the favortc social
rendezvous for the community! The
arrival Of passenger train in Mount
Mark is an evcnt-somcthing in the
nature Of G. b. & @. "at home" and
thusiastic gathering of our best
people" All that is lacking are the
proverbial Eight refreshments
SO 1t happened that one sultry morn
Ing, late in the month of August there
was the usual tluttcr Of excitement and
confusion on the platform and in the
waiting room Of the station. The hu-

ference, when Rev. Mr.. Starr was as
signed to Mount Mark, the Ladies' OF
the church had felt great interest ir
the man and his family. They inquired
on every hand, and learned several in
tcrcSting Items. The mother had been
taken from the family five years be-
fore, after long illness, and Prudence
the eldest daughter, had taken charge
OF the household. There were five chill
drcn. SO much was known, and being
women, they looked forward with
eager curiosity to the coming of Pru
dence, the young mistress Of the par.
sonage.
Mr.. Starr had arrived at Mount Mark
week ahead of his family. Prudence
ana the other children had spent the
week visiting at the home Of thcl,
aunt, and Prudence had come on a day
III advance of the others to "wind ey.
efythinS up as she had expressed It.
But to return to the Ladies-the par.
sonagc girls always capitalized the La.
dies OF their fathers church-"One OF
us should go and help the dear child"
said Mrs Scott, the president of the
Aids, when they assembled for thei,
business meeting, "help her, and wei.
come her. and advise her"
II was thinking Of going over" said
one, and another, and several others
"Oh, that will not do at all" said tho
president. ~ think in case like this
the president herself should represent
the society. Therefore, I will under.
take this duty for YOU"
But this called forth a storm of pro.
test and 1t became SO clamorous that II
was unoflicially decided to draw cutsl
Which was done, and in consequence
of that drawing Of cuts, Mrs, Adams
now sat on the front porch of the old
gray parsonage, cheered by the know,.
edge that every other Lady Of the Aid
was envying her!
NOW, just be real sociable and tell
me all about yourself, and the others,
too" urged Mrs. Adams. 'T want ia
know all about every one Of you. Tell
me everything"
"There isn't much to tell" said pru.
dence, smiling. There are five of us

comes Fairy, then the twins, and then
the baby"
"Are the twins boys, or boy and n
girl?"
Neither" said Prudence, "they are
both girls"
More glrls!" gaspcd Mrs. Adams
"And the baby?"
"She Is girl, too" And Prudence
laughed. "In short, we are all girls
except father. He couldn't be, of
course-or suppose he would, for our
family does seem to run to girls"
Prudence is a very nice name for
a minister's daughter" said Mrs. Adj
ans suggcstively.
"Yes--for some ministers daugh-
tcrs," asscnted Prudence. "But is sad.

My Dear Miss Grey: The
consensus of opinion in your
column has been against
the cheapening custom of
promiscuous kissing. II kiss
fng-girls could only be made
to realize that the masculine
gender is still a savage, and
hangs girls kisses like scalps
at his belt for exhibition, as
prowess among friends; IL
they only knew what is told
married women and men of
this cheapening process--for
does not a girl really sell
cheap, part Of her sweet
womanliness and girlhood
charm for the small atten-
tions of a cheap young man?
For he is certainly cheap
minded who would thus bar
ter in girlhood's precious
caresses? And it is a poor
bargain on both sides.
'Ihat men remember long.
est the kisses they did not
get Is as true as mathematics.
A man told me that he would
walk from Tacoma to Frisco
TO find again and marry the
girl he could not kiss, even
after a courtship and tenta-
tive engagement. She had
been lost to him in the earth
quake. The sacred rela-
tionship between her kisses
and marriage embodied wom-
anly trustworthiness. When
asked why he did not marry
another girl, free and bold
with her kisses, he answered.
TOO cheap-and too easy.
Why, would duck in the
alley any day to avoid her."
Do girls deceive themselves
that their promiscuity is a
hidden secret? even though
the boys do not happen to
tell? Why, IL they wore one
OF those silly black patches
where every secret caress
has been given. it could not
be more advertised to dis
corning and experienced eyes.
THE pitcher that goes often
to the well is broken" So,
too, the promiscuous practices
destroy charm, courtesy and
civility, and too common use
OF sacred things coarsens
them.
Girls foolishly treasure SOU
venirs. heirlooms, abstract
and untrue superstitions, yet
idly cast away their most
precious possession-Purity.
Psychologically it is an ac-
cepted fact that the boy or
girl who kisses one will kiss
another-but like all half
truths needs confirmation
in individual cases. But why
risk respect? Why place ones
self under suspicion? For
those silly kisses will later
burn in shame like fire-scars
when true love betrothal
comes. or when bending DER
the cradle of love babies, or
In sorrow and death.
Moral law has no better
definition than, Truth spir-
itually diseerned and scien-
tifically understood" Moral
law is the science of the
ethics of the centuries, re-
fined, treasured and lived,
