have TO safeguard marriage, aud keep
the home intact. Therefore II is neces-

For their own sakes they must also
hold alof, the ideals of purity and virtue
and tins they can only do by drawing the
line sharply and definitely between the
woman who keeps her garments spptless

No sinner is willing to pay the price
Of his sin. No wrong-doer wants justice,
but all history goes to hsow that as we
sow We must reap, and that only by

she knew all the time that her lover was

! Indeed, the only excuse that the girl
offers for herself at all Is that the man
was handsome and fascinating, and
made love beautifully, and 50 she threw

off with him down the primrose path.
And because the road ended, as II always
does Tor the woman. IN the pit, she thinks
that all other women ought TO shed bar

their breasts.
