Not a single one of them wears a glass slipper, but no golden-hnlrcd princess of the story book over flew faster than tho mniden of eighteen sum mers who hears the Tark guard coming nt tho witching hour of mldlilght In Falrmount Park. It's all on account of the new curfew regulation which says "all out" nt 12 o'clock1. And no matter how' roman tically tha night winds sigh, forty Park guards, chapcrono of the city's younger set, proceed to do their duty, as they see It. BtU apparently the regulation is of tho guards' own devising, ns Tlmnms S. Martin, secretary of tho Park Commis sion, snld today that the commission had Issued no regulation to this effect. "But nil persons must stay whero they can bo seen," he said, "and that regulation Is for the protection of 'tho public." lt is the first time n stalwart cus todian of law and order ever hns had a chance to play fairy godmother. And there's this to bo said for him. He may not have a wand or n gold star on his brow, but ho hns a heart !

There's many nn arm steals 'round a waist j there's many n stolen kiss, but even a. Park guard, can close hih eyes, it develops. "Yes," explained House Scrgcnnt Joseph Enstlne. of Woodford Rnnnl House, "all the spooncrs have to go when 12 o'clock hits, but thnt docn't mean that we consider they re nil ques tionable characters. "Many good respectable girls do all their 'sparking' In the Park. Tl.or come here with young men nnd talk about all sorts of serious things. Just get sentimental once in a while nnd then they go right back to talking about his troubles or her troubles. "lou know how It Is on n dull nlvht you can't help getting humanly lnter- estca in some ot tnese young couples and overhear whnt they're" savin?. Well, sometimes they tnlk nbout the troubles In his office and sometimes about the troubles In hers. Like ns not they're young people waiting to snvo Up enough of money to get married rled. Maybe her folks do not care for the young man or something of that sort. Look for Runaways "But we have to see that thcr all go at midnight because we feel we can't afford to take chancer. There's another side to this spooning business, too. For Instance, there are the girls who run nwny from home. Sometimes they have enough funds to last them nbout twenty-four hours. Then there s no place for them to stay they think but in the Park. These girls nre easy prey for chance young men wandering about. Wo must protect the. Do- HcriDtions of such mlssinc cirls arc sent to us through various agencies nnd we are often able tofind them." The aristocrats of spoonuom do not FOR BUSINESS PAPER an Many letters, as well as contracts, agree merits, specifications and other more or less permanent records call for durability in a marked degree. But even the short lived, tern' porary letter that is dead as soon as it delivers its message needs prestige, quality, that in definable something about a paper which is unmistakable to the eye and the touch, and which reflects these qualities on the business behind it.

Thcso modern high-speed Clndercllns who arc prone to loll awny the summer evening pnrked by the side of some dimly lighted road must hie to bed at 12, too, as far as the kind but stern fnlry godmother or godfnthers arc concerned. "If a machine stops on a well lighted road Juot for the purpose of having cverv' one cool off," Sergeant Kpstlnc continued, "nothing is said, but when the guard sees a young couple on a lonely road with the lights of their car dimmed that's different. We have he.ard of instances where oung men in na chines nick up girls on Broad street and tnen unng tneni out here. Jinny times the girls nre very young nnd menu no wrong, nut It's our iu tcct tli cm. "On sonic drives like the Xenll drive and certain parts of the West ltlver drive no stopping on ant pretext Is allowed." ' The 12 o'clock rule also applies to older and more sensible folks to a certain degree. Try to Protect Public "If for instance." it was explained, "a man nnd his wife came to the en trance of the park for n little walk on their way home from the theatre they would be advised of the dangers of walking In such n lonesome place at so late an hour. They lay themselves open to nttacks by thugs or any undesirables of thnt sort who might bo in hiding. The people nre not forbidden the park, of course. They can come in if thej choose."
