Chief Let parents remember their
own youth, its temptations, sor
rows and joys, and realize these
things are now the portion Of their
own girls and boys.
When the girl is not employed
the case is different, the results
apt to be morbid in their effects,
as she has more time to brood over
the abnormality Of her situation.
TAKE the case Of a girl whose
activities are confined to a little
housework, little reading perhaps
and little church committee work
and no other outside interests. Her
father will not hear Of her receiV-
ing young men, her mother does
not disapprove o: their society, but
is too intimidated by the father to
attempt to alter his views. The
following letter illustrates such a
case:
Acts Shy and Constrained.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
As am discontended with my
present lot and see no chance OF
improving it 1 am writing to you to
see il you can suggest a way out
for me.
1 have a very comfortable home
and my parents supply me with
everything within their power. but
deny me the society OF boy friends.
They seem to be prejudiced against
my enjoying the society OF young
men as they think a girl should not
be acquainted with any man unless
he has immediate intentions Of
marrying her.
l am nineteen years Of age and
as yet have never been allowed to
so out with anyone. Naturally,
whenever 1 meet a member OF the
opposite sex act shy. reserved and
constrained. In the society OF girls
1 feel no cOnstraint and take their
company as a matter of course. I
want to do as my parents think
best for me, but it is very hard
and 1 hope you can find a way out
for me. DISCONTINUED.
The reasonableness of this girls
plea ought to bring an immediate
response on the part Of her pa
rents. AS she says she wants to
do as they think best, and it is not
an agreeable thought that a girl
who wishes to be obedient and do
the right thing may drift away
from these ideals through pres
sure Of circumstances.

Sween Our SideWaIks.

Owing to the absence Of city
sweepers the streets Of our city are
in most deplorable condition. with
filth, papers, and rubbish blowing
here and there.
As a remedy, would suggest that
each resident when sweeping his
walk also sweep the street in front
Of his house, Uick up the rubbish and
papers, put it in some kind Of a con-
tainer, and send it away with the
household trash. This would entail
little work on each individual, and
would solve the cleaning Of our
streets until Congress in its own
good time sees fit to act.
Yours truly.

Mr.. Inman was able to present little

the opinion that these misrepresentation
were inspired by the interests hostile to
the Carranza Government. He thought
the press generally was influenced TO
