Young Women Peril
Selves, Pope Asserts
by the Associo.ed Press

VATICAN CITY. Sept. 29,-Pope
Plus XII said today the modern
young woman. because OF an illusion
of worldliness, is in more peril than
the women of past generations.
She has the illusion of experience
and believes herself, on her own
authority, superior to the young
women of past generations. the
Pontif told representatives of the
Society for the Protection of Young
Women.
Her experience is superficial, in
sufficient to guard her against the
roguery and hypocrisy OF seducers.
She believes herself able with
impunity to read everything, see
everything, try everything, taste
everything. She is disarmed before
the peril"
The Pope urged the group, holding
its 1lth international congress, to
extend its efforts throughout the
world. The society. founded in
Switzerland and represented by
branches in many European coun-
tries, is devoted to the rehabilitation
of wayWard women.
