Life in a City Can Be Just as Humdrum as Life in a
Small Town, and Just as Safe; knowledge

I HAVE been thinking about an our

woman wrote me the other day. She
wrote from city where she has sue
cessfully supported herself for a num-
Der Of years. and she remarked. in a
very direct, clear eyed way;

anything that has surprised you about
the sophistication necessary TO guide

Juan as compared TO the city man."
And she speaks of her earlier life
in a busy office I'm the small town
where she vas born as "the best train
ing possible for enabling a girl 10 re-
sist temptation"
There is honesty and good sense Ia
this letter. and there is character. too;
for the writer thinks of her own
difficult experiences as so many les
sons in self protection. She feels that
she has been exposed to all the dan
gers that threaten reckless. impetuous
girlhood. but that she is merely wiser
and safer for knowing about them

were as self controlled and sane as my

is right in maintaining that knowl-
edge is a far better shield than ig
uorance.
But what I wish to emphasize IS the
distinction that she draws between
village and city life.

that a girl who comes to earn her liv-

be business suicide for a great many

large number Of the repair garages
make practically all Of their money on
