MEYER will she forget that dread IN full night which in few short hours changed her from a laughing, carefree, pleasure-loving girl to se- rious minded, careworn woman of the world. ...
 Poor little Kate-once too often she had cast the dice with fate and now she was called upon to pay. It was not the first time she had taken auto rides with strange menthrough country roads and dusky lanes, not the first tim she had dropped in at the road house for a midnight lunch with a man she had never met before. But it was to be the last, for tonight this little moth, gayly fluttering around the flame of life, had flown too close.
 If she had only known, if the thou sands of girls who every year learn by terrible experience, could only be made to realize that no matter what the pro- vocation, no girl can afford to disregard convention, become careless in her per- sonal conduct, or sacrifice her dignity

 Boys and Girls

"lt is with much pleasure 1 give my wholehesrted endorsement of your mag szine TRUE STORY. It lifts it above the sordid and unnatural types of life which our young people have depicted for them in many of our cheap movies and in much of the literature of today. In addition to acting as an antidote to these, your magazine will create con- dition of mind where the actual facts Of life can be freely investigated and dis. cussed without fear of arousing false modesty into indignation. have long been convinced that to raise the moral tone of our people, we must learn 10 face the actual facts of life. and deal with these facts on the moral plane. feel that parents could not do better than to let your magazine be a missionary to their boys and girls so that the great issues of life may be presented in such a way as to free them from the immoral slant which is sspping the reality out of life. What applies to the young is sppiiesbie also 10 sdults. To magazine ofthis nature were read in every home believe it would tend 10 hresiGs happiness and 10 the eliruin- a'ion ofih many things leading to the d. vorcs courts"

The Story of a Pleasure.Mad Girl

in the pursuit of pleasure, what count less hours of living death would be avoided.
 My Stranger Husband is her story, as told by herself. It is tale of the experience of an ordinary girl, not bad, just average, who in her eagerness to taste the joys of life tried to force the hand of fate. It is in True Story Magazine for April.
 From the safe haven of your own fireside see the mistakes she made, see her thoughtlessly abuse her new found freedom, see the methods by which men she had never met scraped her acquaintance, ride with her on moon- lit roads, see the grim joke played upon her by fate in the guise of man, fol- low her through months and years of atonement, even to the shadow of the prison wall. Not only lesson in life, that thousands pay years of tears and agony to learn but a splendid, vivid true story that will hold your deepest interest to the closing word.
