And that the busy youth, either
interested in his job or occupied
with the problem of making a living,
isn't likely to be the one who will
ance. Interested busy-ness is the most
wholesome thing for young people
and the best possible protection
against all the sad things that follow
in the trail of temptations" yield
ed to.
But if it is little absurd to think
of the city girl as engaged in a daily
combat with vice, it is also wide of
the mark, as my wise young corre-
spondent has pointed out, to take it
for granted that village life is the
equivalent of a nunnery.
Village Life No Nunnery
A village girls life isn't a mere
alienation of busting the parlor and
going to the Christian Endeavor So
ciety Unless she has very strongly the
temperament of the recluse, she
shares what there is of boy and girl
companionship, And there is usually
a good deal.
Unchaperoned intimacy is. of
course, the rule in the American
village, and in the case of whole
isn't word to be said against the
custom. But it is to be admitted
that villages and small towns aren't
altogether free of a less pleasant
type of male-the unwhoIesome-
minded idler who makes it his pas
time, in fact his businss, to present
! tenn ptation" to young girls.
Such a man or such a boy, or per-
maps more than one, is practically
n hn
surely community. Perhaps he can't
accomplish any greater harm than
temporary unhappiness. Undoubted-
ly he cannot, if the girl has knowl-
edge and good sense. But it's Just as
well to realize that he is a pretty un-
varying feature of small town life.
And If we are generalizing about the
dangers to which girls are exposed,
| 1t Is better to face the fact that the
girl who has never left her native
village has nevertheless her own
problems and difficulties, and that if
she has cheerfully and sensibly sur
mounted them it is greatly to her
credit.
Most wise and thoughtful people
of the present day would, am sure,
advise the mothers of young girls to
fortify them as carefully as possible
against probable dangers.

that he has asked to call on YOU in

faith in him, why don't you quietly
tell him of the rumor you have heard
and in dignified and sensible way
ask for the truth2 Can you not in

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

: nave been thinking about an
-Sut-of-the-ord letter that q
young woman wrote me the othel
day. She wrote from the city where
she has successfully supported her
self for a number of years, and she
remarked, in a very direct, clear
eyed way:
II wonder If you have found out
anything that has surprised you
about the sophistication necessary
to guide young woman through
the village opportunities for sin as
compared to the city, also about the
,eally clever and studied efforts of
he village Don Juan as compared to
ihe city man."
And she speaks of the earlier life
In a busy Office in the small town
where she was born as "the best
training possible for enabling a girl
to resist temptation"
There is honesty and good sense
in this letter and there is character,
too; for the writer thinks of her
own difficult experiences as so many
lessons in self-protection. She feels
that she has been exposed to all the
dangers that threaten reckless, i'm
petuous girlhood, but that she is
merely wiser and safer for knowing
about them. She has gotten a kind
of immunity.
knowledge the Best Shield
Doubtless there wouldn't be any
boy-and-girl tragedies if every young
girl were as self-controlled and sane
as my correspondent is. And of
course she is right in maintaining
that knowledge is a far better shield
than ignorance.
But what 1 wish to emphasize is
the distinction that she draws be-
tween village and city life.
1t is too often taken for granted
that a girl who comes to earn her
living in the city is Immediately be-
set with every form of Turing temp
tation.
Her innocent acquaintances back
home" think of her as plunged in
the center of an unending carnival,
distinctly flame-colored, and they
scarcely think it possible that she
can escape without becoming just
the least bit scorched.
Whereas the truth probably is
that the only people she sees are IN
the subway and at her office. That
she comes home overtired and is
glad to go to bed at o'clock. That
she is lonely, dull and bored. And
that if anybody from home-some-
body who knew all the news and
spoke her language and understood
her allusions-would look her up
some evening, she would like it bet
ter than anything in the world.
Humdrum City Life
Life in a city can be just as hum
drum as life in a small place, and it
can be a good deal more lonely. 1t is
quite possible, as many girls know,
to live for long time in a city with
out knowing any young man in a
social way.
And if a girl is very careful about
her acquaintances and if she has,
besides, as much backbone as the
young correspondent 1 have already
quoted, l don't think the young
people who are idling about the
home village need worry about her.
1t must be remembered that if the
working girl who has gone to the
city is buster than the one who has
stayed at home, the young men
