They were all unmarried I was
told that married women were not

married were not preferred. In the
same city there was another great
commercial concern that employed
almost as many young men. The
wages received by them were below

standard of living. as demanded by
modern civilization and society.
The result of these and similar

the warnings of her mother. persists
in having her own way to go where
she pleases and, generally, when she
pleases 70 places of amusement.
These places are mostly the pic
ture shows, theaters, dance halls
and on automobile rides. 1t is per-
fectly amazing how careless girls are
becoming as to their conduct in this
regard. Many girls think nothing of
taking up with absolute strangers
whom they meet on the street, in
picture shows or that accost them
while passing in an automobile.
The great majority of such sud
den acquaintance are. of course,
dangerous. A certain type Of young
men in the cities makes a business
Of imposing upon girls who are given
TO such indiscretions.
In many homes there is a sep
aration between the father and
mother, leaving the girl with the
mother, who, because OF the separa-
ton and generally the responsible
ity for smaller children, is forced
into the double burden of bread
