Bloomsburg has a number of
young girls who take especial de
light in corresponding with strang
ers through corresponding bureaus,
or agencies. Only a night or two
since, the writer overheard a con
versation between two school girls,
both of whom were expecting a
letter from men whosa names they
had secured in the manner described
above. They can profit by the ex
perience of a girl in a neighboring
town, who had to invoke the aid of
of the law to rid herself of an unwel
come strtor whom she had corre
sponded with through a correspond
ence bureau. He told her in a letter
that he would visit her, and he kept
his word. He appeared in the town
garbed like a tramp and annoyed
the young lady so much that she
told her story to a policeman and
the fellow was arrested. Don't
write unless you know who you are
writing to.
