or the Salvation Army and author
Just one glance at this pink
checked, brown haired, blue eyed
young woman tells one she is
NOT a reformer. In fact there
is something wistful and girlish
about this twenty four-year- old
girl which breathes an atmos-
phere of bathrooms, teas and re-
ceptions. And then she girlishy
exclaims:
Jazz is all right. I love it. l
enjoy modern dancing. Anybody
who doesn't Is old. staid, or not MP
to the minute. Dancing Is my
favorite indoor sport. If have a
partner I like I could dance all
night"
Which makes her a regular
girl in the eyes O. youth.
But Miss Frooks is very seri-
Gus when she desires to be. She
was educated at New York Uni
versity. the Brooklyn Law School.
the Hamilton College of Law and
has her masters degree. 1t may
be her recent experience as attor-
ney for the Salvation Army, or it
may be her love OF youth, that
draws her to young people who
have gone over the precipice, but
anyhow this prettey. fun-loving
young woman wants to help them
get back again. And because she
is young and pretty and like sto
dance and wear pretty clothes,
she is able to reach many re-
sponsive hearts.
"There Is only one way to start
young people right again when
they step aside from the right
path" Miss Frooks told me in
her office at the st. Andrew
Hotel. that Is through sympathy
and understanding. This method
reaches both the men and the girls.
There Is no use telling young peo-
pie not to drink and not to smoke.
That starts them going.
Personally, I don't drink and
don't smoke and 1 don't use
rouge and, what do you call those
lip things?"
"Lipsticks." volunteered the
photographer. eagerly, while Miss
Frooks. enlightened. nodded and
continued:
But l wouldn't think of con-
demning anything. l wouldn't
break a PERSONS spirit by max
ing things, which are really harm
less, wicked. Tell u young man
not to drink and he thinks 1t is
smart to start a Garden of Eden
right here. Very young men al
ways want things they can't have.
"And that is the way I feel
about girls smoking. To tell a
girl it is unladylike and wicked
to smoke a cigarette is ridiculous.
She knows the best ladies of the
land are doing 1t. But warn a
girl against drink and too much
smoking, with regard to her
health, and she sees 1t different
ly. No girls system can stand
constant drinking and too much
nicotine. There is a question
about being a perfect lady, but
there is no question about being
an invalid and nervous wreck if
she overindulges.
Trying to be pretty is the ruin
of many girls" continued Miss
Frooks. "They all want to have
pretty clothes, which is perfectly
natural. But the trouble is, they
want such frightfully expensive
clothes. And here is where
many girls make a great mistake,
When girls clothes are too ex-

man to obey the law. There are
many who would have probably
been content with one glass of
something but because it Is
against the law they feel like
taking a. many as they can get.
At least, that was the attitude all
last year, and the first part of
this. l think things are better
now.
"But have great faith in
youth. Young minds are sane
and sound. and sometimes when
you think that young people are
going to the dickens. you see them
suddenly turn about and run
smooth all the rest of their lives.
Much better sometimes for that
first experience than the dear
little home boy and girl who trips
at forty. And THEN the older
they are the harder they fall"

isn't because they think she is

Drink starts most of the young
men down the wrong path said
Miss Frooks. "A drink in itself
may be all right, but it's time to
stop making a joke of drinking
Sensible young men and girls are
beginning to realize this.

in broad stripe sport stockings is
the ruin of many girls, so drink

"That meant that she had moth
ing left for outing money, l sup
pose?" l asked.
1T meant that she went with
out suitable lunches and never
could afford cent to get out into
the country" declared Miss
Frooks. ''I made a bargain with
this girl. / told her to take that
$5 and buy herself some sweets or
a bit of dessert for lunch, to take .
bus ride every day and get out
in the parks where the wind would
blow the color into her cheeks and
lips. She didn't believe me, but
after three weeks trial she came
to me a new girl. Every cent of
her money henceforth went into
things to eat and bus rides.
"Then came another change
about this girl. Her new life
made her realize the fallacy
of silks and satins and being over
dressed. She began to wear tai
lored suits and business clothes.
And then she began to drop her
celebrating male acquaintances.
They did not fit into her new life.
She was getting too sensible for
them. And because she was not
trying to look pretty from an ar
tificial standpoint, health and the
glow of outdoor life showed in
her face. No longer did men
misjudge her. Her life was free
and clear. A business course lay
ahead of her or marriage with
some clean, outdoor type OF
man."
