Th. -Alin ihmuehout the land was
told of spooning I partlc, in automobile,!
of corsets checked at dances ; of drink
ing and smoking; nnd garters given
away as souvenirs. Doubtless, there is
a fast element among young sets In
many cities, that Imitates its elders, but
the girls are no worse than the bop,
and usually do not really know what
evil is, except in vague, un-understnnd-Ing
ways. Silliness and vnuity are ex
asperating, but seldom are there base
ness and sensuality.
Bishops and reformers nnd elderly
woman rail nnd rnge. and others who
are a bit gentler and wiser and more
sincere, perhaps, feel real pltj and
worry over the changed order of things.
llnce prim and rigid rules were used ns
measures of restraint. Theatres frankly
show the passions and crimes of the
underworld, nnd of the upper crust of
society. Motion pictures depict the
temptations of poor girls often so al
luringly that those In the audience
wonder why such fascinating tempta
tions never come their way '
Modern novels describe human sins so
realistically that nothing is left to the
Imagination. In grandmother's da,
young girls literally were ignorant. It
was not a question of being innocent;
of withstanding temptations, nnd being
strong and tine, and maintaining high
Standards ; it was just sheer ignorance.
A girl did not know what liquor's effect
was. She did not smoke. Hlic thought
lables were brought by a stork. She
married generally as her parents dic
tated, and endured any abuse or brutal
ity or neglect, as a part of her feminine
heritage. ' If she did not complain, but
bore her lot with a patient ."mile, nnd
save the world large numbers of chil
dren, she was an Ideal moral woman
Now, all is changed. Modern girls
are wise. They refuse to do and hear
a good many things. Revolt is in the
air. They scoff nt patience and endur
ance. It Is hard to "discipline" them.
They put their judgment before that of
older folks. It Is part of democracy!
A. yoong person and a young country
ana a young social experiment one
tnust have tact and patience with them.
They feel the growing pains of evolu
tion; they are becoming bomethlng
finer and larger. They must not be
polled in the making.
Undoubtedly, grandmother as a girl
f possessed some qualities which we lack; I manlike, fine, big qualities her ances
f aha was pretty-mannered nnd soft-i' tors did not possess! ,

voiced. She did not chew sum and talk
in a nasal tone, and jell on the street,
and use cheap slnng, and calcimine her
face, and smoke nnd drink nnd spoon.
I'm not so sure about the last, how
ever. Grandmother was wise, too, In
her eencration. and there were ham
mocks and garden nooks and moon
light nights, oicn beforo the days of
automobiles. How about the morality,
In the sense of kindness, of those ruth-
Imr Southern holies who Here 811 ell
flirts that men fought duels, for love of
them? Murder nnd suicide were actual
facts in days of old when knights were
bold, and It was nccounted clever to be
a heartless flirt.
Today's girl has a reckless air. but
her heart is kind, and she uould not
send n man to his death. She Is too
good n "sport" for that. She is square.
Jt is tune to osk, wnai is immoral
ity, nnjway?
Is it merely some one act, perhaps
thnuchtlcsa or done under stress of an
emotion almost overpowering? Is one's
whole life to he one of repentance nnd
self-abasement because some social law
has been Infringed, in spite of the fact
tht the girl iV.llBrmln,ftn.t,..sw,eci.n,n,,l
"J",?'"6"' nU "" " """ ""'
Or. Is morality largelv a matter of
one's attitude toward lite ana one s
associates? Is there any sin in itself
in nmoklng, for Instance? Is not It,
rnther. n mere trifllnz habit like eating
candy to excess? The only way it
would affect one', life seriously would
be that it often goes hand in hand with
a reckless fast bravado in public
which causes a girl to be misjudged
and gossiped about. Perhaps you are
a elf girl, asserting. "I have n right
to do as I please. I nm Just as free as
uiv brother and if 1 want to smoke at
a restaurant, 1 will." Your abstract
right is indisputable; but if you learned
that malicious persons, seeing you
doing things which are associated with
so-called "bad" women, would actually
brand jou as a woman of the streets
jou. 'an Innocent girl would not you
ccn.p to do this, for your own protec
tion? Moials have n lot to do with taste.
It is In wretched tasto to be loud nnd
seem vulgar and to dress lu a manner
to compelling that the nnsty-minded
man will turn on the street to look
and comment If you knew what he
said. ou would blush and really be
ashamed that you had attracted that
kind of Comment.
Girls in the past would not have
(hown their legs above the ankle. The
publi' would have said the world was
going to perdition Then came blcjcles,
and hiking, and public swimming, and
Btylcs took the skirt up and up. Folks
got u-ed to girls in knickerbockers, and
ridine breeches, and bathing suits, even
I one-piece, and now, even street dresses
are up to the knees. It is a ratlir
jugly length, nnd is not so alluring as
a eoit, Clinging nrnpery wnicn is mucn
longer. But ns for being immoral, why,
the moment a thing is common nnd the
eye Is used to It, It ceaBes to have any
especial significance. A few girls wear
the modern modes brazenly, inviting
inspection but they lose In charm.
If morality is being courteous nnd
just nnd kind nnd charitable, never
willlnglv hurting or harming our fel
lows, always trying to give them the
benefit of the doubt, and acting ac
cording to our own best Ideals the
modern girl generally is decent nnd
moral, and perhaps has some sports
"If you're in debt, take these! But,
for licaeu's sake, don't queer the sit

Eve Htretchcd forth a greedy little
hand and took the bills from Vanda--ecr.
She wasn't proud!
"But, Julian, " she pouted, "how on
earth can I return the other money to
my guardian? You surely don't want
me to conftss to him?"
Julian thought a moment. Then he
smiled.
"ou want to get rid of Mary Drew?
You're afraid that our guardian may
want to marry her, and you'll be cut

that it?"

Eve clappod ner hands.

CopvrtBhl. Hit, m Pvblte Lier Co.
Barry Keil is arrested for embes
tlina funds, and Harriet, his wife, in
order to prove his innocence, o6an
a position in Harry's office, under an
assumed name. Charley Harmon, the
son of thct head of the firm, presses'
hi attentions on her, and Harriet
discovers that Lucy Pratt, 'an office
stenographer, is in love with Charley
herself, but she can discover nothing
in thp office that would point toward
the guilty party. One day she meets
oy cnance saaie Howard, a girl from
the tenement house where Harriet
and Barry had lived. Sadie is deter'
mined to give Harriet over to the
police, but Charlie intervenes and
carries Harriet off. In the taxicab
going home he tries to threaten her
into accepting his love.
A Disappointment for Sadie
TrAY Insisted upon putting Harriet
"J- to bed, nnd the kind-hearted Mamie
smuggled up some food to the girls on
a tray. Harriet ate and was comforted,
but after May had left her for the
night, sho tossed restlessly from side to
side, trying to think what to do. Sadie
Howard would bo In waiting for her
tomorrow, nil the tmore furious and
determined, because Charlie had Inter
fered tonight. Harriet remembered the
gin a sman, malicious eyes nnd knew
that nothing In the world would keep
her from telling the world what she
knew. The time was very short and
Harriet could hardly hope that any
thing would hnppen before the blow
fell, anything that might give her a
clue as to the real thief.
When Sadie Howard had been left on
the sidewalk with the fast-going taxi
disappearing in the distance, she had
been so furiously nngry that at first
she was for going Immediately to the
police with her story. But ns her
anger gradually cooled she realized that
by telling the police now she would bo
robbed of much of the glory. If the
police discovered Hnrriet they would
receive the credit nnd Sadie had already
built up a newspaper story" In which
she would he fenturcd. Perhaps they
would use h picture of her. and her
eyes brightened at the thought. To be
mentioned as the discoverer of the un-,
known woman who hnd disappeared so
mysteriously just after her husband had
been nccused of a $5000 theft might
mean all kinds of things for Sadie.
When she reached hoie that night
the whole family had finished dinner.
Sadie had great nspirntlons and the
sight of the hot untidy kitchen, smell
ing stronglv of food nnd tho tobacco
from her father's pipe vngueiy disgusted
her. No one had ever wanted to be
beautiful as Sadie had.- nnd. the beau
tiful things of life which she realized
could never b hers had soured her
mind against her fellow beings. Even
her family feared her sharp tongue
and bore bcr little love or even family
affection. Sam never could like a
homely woman, and between the sister
nnd brother there existed an enmity
that was unmistakable.
"What jou so late for. Sadie?" her
mother asked peevishly. "Seems to me
jou might try to get here on time. It's
hard enough to cook the meals without
having to serve them at all hours."
"Where's Sam?" Sadie asked
eagerly.
"Dressing to go out," said Mrs.
Howard. "A lot of good Sam is tothis
family, neer staying home a single
evening to be a comfort to his family."
"Sam," called Sadie, ignoring her
mother's complaint. Even though she
hated her brother at times, she realized
his superiority and would have fought
tooth and nail for him if ho had been
in trouble of any kind. Besides -she
liked to annoy him with taunts about
Harriet Neil. It was her first taste of
power and she intended to pose In the
limelight as long as she could.
Sam appeared, adjusting his necktie,
as Mrs. Howard arranged Sadie's
warmed-over supper on the kitchen
table.
"What do you want?" he asked in
a surly tone.
"I saw Mrs. Nell again tonight,
that's why I'm lato. I waited for her.
She tried lo sidestep me, but I figured
she'd be late and stuck around."
"Think you'ro smart, don't you?"
he sneered.
"You bet I am, and you'd.best keep
a civil tongue in your head or I won't
tell you what happened."
Sadie began on her stew, keeping an
eye on her brother as he lounged in the
doorway. .....
"Well?" he asked finally.
"I had her begging for mercy,"
Kndle went ou. "Belioe me she forgot
all about those high and mighty airs
she used to pull when she lived here,
nbove all, when I happened to mention
the police."

Mark on Tablecloth
To tht Editor of Woman' root)
Dear Madam When washing a new
mercerized damask tablecloth In an
electric washer a black thread somehow
got on the tablecloth and left a black,
ugly mark on It Could you tell me
what I could use to remove this mark?
IlOSELIiA II.
Javella water will remove ever' trace
of this spot. Use oxalic acid on It aft
erward to neutralise the effect of the
former solution. Both of theso can be
purchased at a drug store.
Wants to Dye Dreta
To tht Editor of Woman's Pact:
Dear Madam Tour advice ha 1i1tW1
others. I now come to nslc your advice
on how to dyo a white dress, which was
iny graduation dress. Also, what color
could I dye It? I have dark brown
hair, brown eyes and am of an oltv
complexion. The dress to which I refer
is a combination of white georgette and
satin. BETINICE.
The dress could be dyed any shade
you may like, as white will "take" every
color. A pretty taupe, soft jade green
orii shndo of blue would be becoming.
The directions on the packago of dye
which you buy will tell you how
to prepare it. Be sure to place the ma
terial you aro dyeing In a large enough
vessel, ns that can be stirred easily. Use
a wooden stick for this purpose, ana
move the dress around tylth it fre
quently while boiling. Care should be
taken to rinse It thoroughly, as this
will prevent Its streaking. Dry in a
shady place and press while slightly
damp.
At a Banquet
To the Editor of Woman' Paat!
Dear Madam Will you please give
me some suggestions of various forms of
entertainment for a banquet which only
girls and women will attend. In other
words, it's a "T" association banquet,
and will be held in the gym. What dec
orations (not elaborate) will serve?
MIL.DRBD M.
A clever stunt for your banquet would
bo to pass around cards to the Ernests.
Some of these aro simply blank and
others have ridiculous subjects written
on them. Tho ones who get the latter
have to make short speeches on tho
topics they find on their cards, nnd. of
course, this pnnldes a lot of fun. When
a- person speaks about her adventures
on a desert Island or why bananas are
Inrgor than apples or something else
about which she can say a "lot of noth
ing." it is bound to amuse everybody.
Couldn't you also have some one sing
severnl songs? A recitation would fit
in well with the affair. If your associa
tion has colors you could carry these out
In crepe paper fixed around flower bowls,
which can be filled with daisies. These
decorate very effectively, and it would
not be hard to find a place outside of
the city where you could gather them.

Dear Cynthla-I am a habitual reader
of your column and find great pleasure
In It. I am a arlrl of seventeen. and very
much In love with hoy of eighteen. He
pays very little attention to me, not
more than to other glrl' How can I
win him? I can have other boy friendi
but do not care for them. Please help
mo out of tho perplexing situation.
"A LITTIiB PEACH."
Tou are only seventeen. Do not worry
about wlnnlnc the young man's love. Be
good friends with hlrn and be interested
Hi what he has to aay. Perhaps in a
year or two ho will come to care for
you. :
Sayi "Jekyll and Hydo" Does Not
Love
Dear Cynthia I am writing to your
column regarding "Senslbie's" letter,
where he states he Is glad to know that
there li still a nice girl left. He noedn't
worry. There are plenty. For instance,
I am one myself. I am also very glad
to hear what "Benslble" .states, for I
consider hels a good chap. I dldnt
think that there. were any. more left, for
I was keening; company with a fellow
three years my senior when I was
eighteen and he Couldn't havextreated
me any worse, so I finally gave him up.
We were engaged, but he was not true,
for he used to take girls out for a good
time, which he told me he had a right
to do before he was married to me.
What do you think of that? What do
vour readers think of such a fellow?
What I am writing' now Is regarding
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." What wilt
his girl say when she finds out he Is
enjoying himself with Others If he has
made plans to marry her 7 I do not
think his love la strong enough and sin
cere If he enjoys htmself In the com
pany of others. What do the other
rAndera think of it?
Tf he Is not careful he will lose her.
I know I wouldn't stand lor It.
ANXIOUS.
"Sunshine'! Asks the Boys
Dear Cynthia May I Intrude upon
your column once more7 Maype you
win recognize me ana mayne you won u
Anvhow. It makes no difference
The latest debate In your column Is,
as I see, about the modern girl. Well
boys, let me tell you (something-. The
modem girl is as the modern boy nno
made her. The modem boy has shown
a preference for the painted, short-
skirt Jazz baby,
I call her tho camouflage nirl. be
cause she dos un to look thp wav nliO
Isn't, hence the girls have tried to meet
wun tne ooys approval, ir ou noyH
really and truly want to se the revival
of the old-fashioned girl, why do you
entertain theso nalnted dolls? I'll Just
bot you that all of you who have
knocked these painted dniis arc the very
ones wno are entertaining tnem.
Don't think I'm defending them, be
cause I am not. I for one hate dancing,
and don't use any make-up. but I hate
to see these poor girls knocked because
I know that in spite of the coat of paint
soma of them are real girla, who would
make great pais ror tne right one.
Sneaklnir of the old-fashioned ulrl
what has become of the old-fashioned
boy? The boy that used to bo a second
Sir Walter rtalolgh? The boy that used
to turn his head when he'd see a girl
in a skirt much shorter than It ought to
be. The boy who would never stop to look
at ladles' bathing suits in the show
windows, etc. If you get the opinion
that I am old-rashloned you are very
much mistaken, because I am just a
regular girl, who loves the outdoors
and loves sports of all kinds nnd always
has a smile ready for every one. Tea
and I use powder, too, but as I am so
fortunate as to have naturally red
cheeks I do not use rouse.

J
The Bride Looks Forward to fiifc in Her Adorable Home; th
Schoolgirl Thinks of Camp and ihe fcirt Behind tha
Counter Wants Hjzr Ocean
THE first of June what a day of
promise it let t
The rcal beginning of summer; the
"they" who arranged tho seasons havo
given another day this title, but who
ever thinks of the 1st of June as
spring?
And who wants to wait until June
21 to call it summer?
Why, even the roses and peonies
consider it summer now they have to,
in order to be ready for commencement
and all tho weddings.
For with tho first day of June 'tho
bride really begins to reallzo that it's
all true.
"Just think I" sho commands her
ivory satin gown as she peeps into the
hiding place where it hangs all finished
and ready for that first and last wear
ing. "In ten days' you and I will be
walking up the aisle with dad isn't
it wonderful?
"And there will be tho smell of
flowers everywhere, and the organ
playing that wonderful thing, and
mother getting pale and nervous In the
front pew, and Jim paler and mora
nervous I
"And then after thnt will be tho
reception with Jim and I just crazy
to get away nnd everybody talking add
everything, and then we'll go and have
a glorious time, and come home to
that adorable little house nnd every
thing will be Just perfectly heaven all
the rest of our lives I"
THE schoolgirl greets June with rap
turous glee.
"Oh, at lastl" she breathes in re
lief. "There's some hone in sight"! I
thought thjs year would never end.
"June it won't be many moons now
before I'm away from here, going
nround in sneaks instead of these fancy
shoes, and bloomers and a blouse oh,
won't it be wondcrfull
"And there will bo swimming every
day and fun all the time, and none of
this darn algebra, and pillow fights at
night I wonder whether Elsie's going
this year; sho certainly did make that
basketball team last summer.
"Well, anyhow, June's here, and
we'll find out about everything pretty
soon."
THE girl behind the counter wcl
comei June gladly.
She's tired.
"June!" she gasps, like n lost child
coming in sight of home. "And my va
cation Rtarto on the Fourth of July ! I
thought it would never get here, and
how I've lived these last two months I
don't know.
. "Oh, isn't it wonderful, only five
moro weeks, and then me for the near
est train, the quickest route nnd the
ocean I
"I'll forget about this store so fast
