Copyright, 1913, by Star Company. 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 mother of hla children. Tho man Joiity of these cases , indicate a knowl- edge on the part of the young women of the situation they were to occupy. The man possessed large wealth and the girls, were seemingly ' sat is fled to accent -the equivocal position, he gave them and. -to resign their self-respect Ja order, to 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 cast. J LAIS WHEN OLD.' ' Lais was old and all her beauty gone, Lais, the erstwhile courted pleasure queen. - .

An American Lais, who left her home In a quiet country town to enjoy the luxuries and gayetles of New Tork and Parts with a married man of wealth, came home to die scarcely three years later a shattered . wreck of a woman. The asylums for the Insane, the sani tariums for victims of alcohol and drugs, the Potter's field and the almshouses these are goals of many girls who have .

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 long way sentimentally irom o loves ss air- dlffer- Brains.

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.
