TO MODEST GIRL

~ WODEO NlFNEs Say hOu-
est girl, am a young man. Let me
tell you a few things about kissing,
etc. These things are important and
serious and should not be dealt with
in a loose and flippant way.
You can very well do without the
company of the mice fellows" who
wants to kiss you at first sight and
who tell you that "Other girls are do
ing it" The enjoyment and gay
ETY." that they give you isn't worth
while and may prove too expensive in
the long run-to you. Tell them to
take out "the other girls with whom
they can have the good time" that
they have in mind.
Kissing is all right in it's place. But
first you must know who kisses you
and why he does it. Beware Of
strangers is a good warning. And
if you are not an expert judge Of peo-
pie you will need to meet a fellow
more than once or twice to know
much about him. Of course, if you
want to be a butterfly you needn't be
very particular. Then you can asso-
ciate freely with the butterflies and
do as they do. But remember that
their existence is a short one.
Yes, there are kisses and kisses.
Some kisses express love in it's full
est measure, admiration, longing
of two souls or minds to commune,
to mingle, to unite, to create. Others
are simply the preludes to the graft
fication of one single, momentary
passion common to all humans and
animals
Learn the difference between
between these two kinds of kisses. |
It is wrong to condemn all kisses. 1t |
is wrong for a girl to distrust all fell
lows. She must learn to judge and
discriminate. By a little observation !
and reflection one soon learns the
motives and intentions of people and |
becomes acquainted with the con-
tents and qualities of their minds.

THE DRUNKARD.

The DRUNkARD. - Prohibition
has not been a personal matter with
me. I have enough wiIl-pOwer to re-
sist the temptation of excessive
drinking. I believe the person who
hurts the saloon business most is the
habitual drunkard. All saloonkeep-
ers are not bad at heart; there was
one in particular who was one of my
best friends. 1t is not very often
that you can find a true friend in
saIOonkeeper, but the one whom I
have in mind was really a true friend
Of mine. We have had many talks
on the drink question and he told me
the fellow that would eventually
drive them out Of business is the
drunk. He said: eff 1 had my way
about it I would not sell them any
more booze, but, if I don't, some one
else will; so there you are"
Now let us look at the curse of drink
from a union mans standpoint. How
much harm has it not already done
to our organization, where the Of
ficers are under the influence of
liquor. PoOrly-attended meetings
are often caused by drunken dis
turbers. inefficient members are
often put in Office because they bride
their way through drink. Some one
has said, why worry about them;
they are only a small percentage?
But 1 feel it is ones duty to protect

kissing ought to mean something.
ought to express the truest and full
est love possible. Young people kiss
too much, often when it means moth

much abused and misused. It is said

is made that second staff be raised

those with whom the movement orig
mated, as an especially appropriate
