A Serious View of the FrivOlities
OF Young Men and Women

Among letters before me the subject Of the fnvoties
of young men and women written result OF varying
views the worth wohessness OF certain young

ridiculous styles and parade certain streets or gather
the thereof two that into the matter with
deep earnestness.
One is from respected citizen who declares there is
"serous side" to the "izard and Flossie business.
These some of his observations:

It may be true that the future manhood and woman

sturder views of life than possessed by these human
chameleons and butterflies in big Cities but large per-
centage of them have qualities and possibilities that often
develop useful citizens under proper guidance and advice
