ONCE OVERS

VOU may be one Of the many
i thousands who are .censuring
the youth of the present time.
To be honest. didn't you as a
young person do about as young
people do today? They do much
in public that you sought to do
in darkened ''parlor" or while
out ''buggy-riding."
Is 1t any worse to be open in
such actions than to be sly
about 1t?
OF course, as a middle-aged
person, you may look upon meek
ing" as disgusting to your sense
of propriety. But when you were
young there were many necking
parties by the front gate Or on
the side porch or down under the
old apple tree where the ham
mock was. l
And your grandparents were
sure you were going to the dogs
because of the actions OF your
generation.
You think OF your youth as
conservative in comparison to the
youth Of today. But young people
everywhere feel as sure of them
selves as you did They don't
feel that they are doing anything
wrong. They may be much more
wholesome in what they do than
you were in what you did. Their
ideals may be higher and more
strict when deciding the limit at
which % stop.
