NUMBER OF MISSING YOUNG WOMEN II
CITIES INCREASING.

That hundreds of young girls have been miss
ing in New York City since the first of January
last, is the substance of police report recently
The same condition is found in other large cities
in proportion TO their population-the West not
excepted. What becomes Of these girls? Each
was once the pride Of fond mother, and upon
each was given the caress of love and affection
But they have disappeared. Fallen by the way
side, probably. Lured into the paths Of hell
probably. Taken from the clean life into the
dirty mess Of venality, likely, where they live
under assumed names and die, weary and hag-
gard, long before their time.
All this could be avoided IL all girls were men
tally competent to withstand the tinsel al
lurements of "short life and merry one;" if
they had good, sound advice at a critical juncture
in their lives; If they came under the influence
Of good associates, and were made TO see how the
splendors of meritorious life so overwhelming
ly unbalanced tine meretricious. Though the
work of the societies OF rescue is important,
they are merely the outside guard.
The real work Of rescue begins n the home
in the home Of every moth.esr in Price, who must
understand that Z her daughter in time is not
to be among the missing" ones. the sum total
all over the United States being many thousands
yearly, then she must do her duty by her daugh-
ter not merely permit her to '.just grow but TO
raise her on the pedestal Of a conscientious re-
gard for the purity and cleanliness in life that
will make her missing proof later.
