GIRLS OF from fourteen 10
twenty are supposed to be
the most enchanting crea-
lures in the world.
Youth, innocence, femininity, all
in one. In many cases beauty and
charm can be added TO the list.
From the romantic point OF view,
oughtn't these to spell perfection?
feel no desire 10 disparaSe
girlhOod. And for the moment ]
am not interested in debating
whether girlhood or maturity has
the more compelling charm. In
deed, I'm willing TO concede to
feminine youth all that romance
can claim for it-short Of perfec-
ton. must protest that even the
loyeliest Young girls have faults,
and it is one Of these faults in par
ticular that | want TO call stten-
ton 10 TO-DAY.
The besetting wee or girlhoOd is,
/ believe, imitativeness. Through
their passion to initiate each other,
70 conform az closely as possible
to group patterns, girls often for
felt a very large share of the
charm that nature has enjoyed

say. sixteen 10 have lovely face,
an amiabIe nature and q sweet
manner. Perhaps that's as much
as We ought TO ask for in one hu-

that something personality. indl-

Does Mere Youth Suffice!
Isn't it true that the most valua-
bic and interesting part OF a per-
son is his own distinctive self, the
part oil MIN lIldN - ulAFiNhN llOul
other human beings-not The part
OF him that is precisely like them?
And what really draws us to
Young girl is not, after all, the
mere youth Of her-nor her COM

but the budding personality, if We
can find one.
Would you care TO be one Of a
row of shiny pink buttons on a
card? Too many girls act as
though this were actually their
ambition.
The trouble is, | am convinced,
chat their attention is never suf-

nIusrlcE AND CHARITY

The Pope, the highest official Of
the Roman Catholic church, has re-
Gently stated in a public interview
that there can be no economic and
social progress in the world without
charity and Justice That is a fact
so patent, that it should require alb
solutely no argument. But the
trouble of the whole world today is
the utter inadequacy in practice of
Charity and Justice. Everywhere you
look, in every country whether it be
the troubles of the Negro, the Irish,
the Jew, or what not, whether it be
the laboring man or the capitalist, at
the foundation of all is the sickening
Of Charity and Justice.
Everybody is trying to put some
thing over on the other fellow, dag
gers and guns and bricks and ropes
are preferable to reason and common
sense. The devil and all his imps,
must be mighty happy as they view
with undated glee the turmoil and
the strife. The Old World is
losing ground until it gets itself to-
gether, and starts to march in unison
along the pathway of Charity and Jus
tice. Without them there can be no
peace.
