LADY BALFOUR FINDS
 MODERN GIRL INFERIOR
Old Fashioned Girl Superior To Girl of Today in Morals, Intelligence
 and in Romance

London. April l5.-Young women of today are much inferior 10 the old fashioned girls in point of morals, in telligence, romance, and knowledge of the great affairs Of life, said Lady Frances Ealfour, daughter of the Duke of Argyll, in recent lecture before the London School of Eco monies. "The face of the modern girl is mass of powder" the speaker de- clared. Her lips are painted until no longer recogniza ble, and the reek of her person makes one long for the outdoors"
 In the past Lady Balfour continued, young women doubtless led consider ably more sheltered lives. There was in the old days great confusion be- tween ignorance and innocence. but life had more romantic possibilities The girls of that period knew less of men and thought of them as paragons of virtue and unselfishness. Men. she went on, were better in consequence of this than they are today. It is good to be believed in. especially by men. The girls in former times were held to be entirely irresponsible and it didn't matter how they spent their time so long as they amused men,"
 The ignorance of the olden times made it most improper for girls to know any of the darker sides of the life of her sex. T wonder if the
