He had picked Miss Jones as his

But he encouraged her to pro-

have rented for the Summer.

with AS mother, but C's and DIS
mothers refuse permission with

on their part saying that young
girls should not stay away from
home over night
Now, Miss Fairfax az they
found out that the house in which
they are going to stay Is kept BY

would like to know your opinion
IN this matter, as c and d feel
very bad to think that their
mothers DO not trust them. and

which unkind people are all too

girls go about unehaperoned. Even
