There have been lately many Instances
of men and women lead Ids double lives.
On of th most recent cases Is that of a
man who scams to. make a business of
the. purchase of
young- clrls for
"affinity wives' and

children. Tho man

edge on the part of
the young women of
the situation they
were to occupy. The

wealth and the girls,
were seemingly ' sat

equivocal position, he

live free from ' financial worry. ,
Talk with almost any well-to-do man
dwelling In our cities today and he will
tell you that men are pursued by young
girls and girls not so young to quite as
great an extent as men themselves pur
sue. An unpleasant . case came before
the courts a. year or two ago. A promt
rent man had taken two young shop girls
"Joy-riding," and an accident had oc
curred, as frequently does In such cases,
and. one of. tho. girls . was crippled for
life. Testimony In the 'case revealed the
fact that these young working. girls were
strangers to the man, but bad hailed him
as he stepped into his automobile and
asked him to give them a ride. ' The
man. who was married and occupied a
respectable position' showed a. lack of
fine Instincts and high Ideals In consent
ingv But the young girls also Indicated
a lamentable lack of decency in making
the request.
The boldness of young girls of all
classes today Is one of the signs of the
times. It la a sign of the failure of
mothers and fathers to properly train
their children. The . merely telling
young ."girl to be modest and Well-behaved
- toward - the opposite sex is not
enough. There must be an Intimate com
radeship between the parents 'and their
daughters, and young girls must , be
made to understand the vulgarity as well
as the danger and Immorality which lie In
a departure front- modesty of deport
ment.
from all knowledge of the evil which
exists In the' world by Ignoring these
topics. It is Impossible for any tr! who
has ears and eyes to remain Ignorant of
the fact of sex attraction and of it
many allurements and dangers. But this
danger often proves a greater Incentive
than warning to the romantic young
mind.
If every young girl who Is dassled with
the thought of being able to wear beauti
ful gowns and ride In motor cars could
look beyond the early youth of women
who have 'sold themselves' for such
luxuries tliey, would recoil, shocked and
terrifies with the thought that uch a
situation could ever have seamed "at
tractive. Public disgrace, private shame
and crime are some . of the penalties
which result from a life of sex license.
Away off in Greece centuries ago a
beautiful young girl named Lais sold
herself for the pleasures and. benefits
which wealth could (We her. For a few
years she reigned a queen among men.
Then her beauty faded, her popularity
waned and she became a forlorn- old out

Down by the harbor sloped a terraced

Safe Basis for Matrimony
ny DOROTHY DIX.
What are the slgna and symptoms of
the brand of sffeotlon that makes a safo
basis for matrimony?
Are respect and suitability and con
geniality of tastes
enough to marry
upon? Or must one
have thrills and
heart throbs ar.d the
glory and the circling
wings of romanoo
before ene vrt tires
Into the holy estate?
This Is the con
undrum a man aks
me to answer. He Is
45 yeare old, well-to
do, and he wsnts a
home, and wife, and
children. He desires
to marry, but he
hesitates to do' so,
because he ran not
fall wildly, madly,
passionately In love
sa he once did in hla
very early youth.
There'a a widow, young and good look
ing and the best aort of a chum, and with
two little boye that he'a devoted to, that
tlus man knows. Khe'd make him a
splendid wife and a comfortable home,
and hch as the warmest friendship fat
her, but he doesn't know whether to
marry her or not. because she doesn't fill
him with the some poignant emotlou that
hla first sweetheart did.
Now, far be It from me to advise any
human being to take that dangerous leap
into the dark that we call matrimony.
Every man's risk Is on his own head In
doing that but I would call my corre
spondent's attention to the fact that It'a

Dear Miss Fairfax:
state how a girl who Is pretty and stupid
triuniDhs over a sir! who is homely and
brilliant, and give illustrations in fsvor
of the former. INDIFFERENT.
A . . girt who Is pretty and . stupid
triumphs over a girl who Is homely and
brilliant only temporarily except In ex
treme cases. The things that really
make a girl loved are charm and sweet
ness of character and, aocording as to
whether the pretty stupid girl or the
brilliant bomely one has these valuable
sssots, she wins or loses (n the social
game. At a danoe the pretty girl is
more likely to have partners than the
homely one. Eut when It comes, to
friendships, . the clever, interesting . girl
holds hers "far better than does the dull
one, however pretty she Is.
Take Boaae Other Girl.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been keep
ing company with a young lady about
eight months, and every time 1 ask her
to go some place she refuses, saying she
will co aionei but not with me. What
would vou advise me to dot I love this
girl dearly, and In the future would like
to make her my wire. WAUJh,,

curtained limousine . was apparently
heading into the city again, and a curved
limpness came Into the - broad back of
faithful Bill Wolf. .
In . the decorated parlor Mrs. . Russel
served the cocktails and started upstairs
with June's. They stopped her at the
portieres.;
."She's not to be disturbed," they all
told her la their different forms' of
speech.
June Warner had fled far away from
that section, hurrying on and on as If
she could not put enough, distance be
tween herself and that hatefal scene. Bhe
was In ths more densely populated dis
trict now, on a street of cheap shops and
rickety tenements, and the, fourth or
fifth pawnshop which she passed gave
her a happy Idea. Bhe looked In. at the
next one. .It was repulsive looking. Bhe
remembered a cleaner one which she had
passed and went back to it. . Bhe hesi
tated a moment, then went boldly In.
