Child Needs Example by Its Parents BY MARTIIA LEE. A young. Intelligent, and attractive looking girl was brought into police court recently. She had been arrested for attempting to ply a prohibited trade on the streets of Indianapolis. She was “soliciting." as It is known in legal phrases. Because she was so very young, so different from the type of woman who usually is apprehended for this misdemeanor, the Judge, instead of having her sent to the reform school, decided to let her tell her story. She was of high school age. She had, in her years in school, made the acquaintance of a great many young attractive girls, like herself, and also had friendships with nice, wholesome boys of her own age. She was from a poor family. She and her mother labored bard and long to keep the home as attractive as an old ramshackle house and tottering furniture would permit. They both were proud and ambitious. The mother wanted to see her daughter have a chance at something besides drudgery. Father I>azy, Shiftless But the father was lazy, shiftless. and very often abusive. When the girl would have her young girl friends tn for an afternoon, after school hours, as likely as not he would come heme drunk and quarrelsome. He embarrassed her so that she stopped asking the girls over. And one or two scenes of that sort were enough to make the girls, who were young and impressionable, think there was something funny about the girl and her family. Once in a while she would have dates, to go to a show, or a school game with some of the young boys she knew. If her father was home, he would not allow her to go. If he were out when she left, he would wait until she returned, to give her a thrashing. Imagine what the girl suffered at school. She was proud. She hated her home life. She was held down until she felt like one of the little bugs in the biology laboratory, pinned to a eardboard. Her mother couldn't do anything. She was too scared of her husband. She pitied the girl, and fed her with sympathy, but nothing else. She didn't give her a boost and tell her it wouldn't last long. She didn’t help her to forget, the slights she had received from the girls and boys who used to be her friends. •She just cried with the child. Didn't Count Cost And so. when a chance to get away from it all came, the girl escaped. Not counting the cost, of her reputation, not figuring that she was escaping from one prison to another, not realizing that, if she had little chance for respect, admiration and a bright future in her home, she bad less than none in the life in which she saw Freedom with a capital F. Can you believe that parents, who are given children to protect them, to care for them, could be responsible for such a tragedy? They are. Every day. Not always along that one linp. But they ruin their ideals, their ambitions, their hopes, their enthusiasms, just as surely as that poor child's father ruined her morality. Children are proud. They want their mothers and fathers to be paragons of all that is good and right and proper. If the children are well balanced and of excellent character, it will not sway them personally if their parents are not all they want them to be. Those j children, instead will be hurt and angry because their own parents have disillusioned them. But there are daughters and sons, twho despair too easily. And those children go to the depths unless the parents show them the way.

Fringe Adds New Grace to Styles BY FRANCIS PAGET NEW YORK, March 28.—The Paris openings brought the fringed dress again into evening fashions, with added significance attached to it since such prominent couture houses advocated it. It will be remembered that Au-gusta-bernard presented an effective fringed gown at the mid-season openings, a gown that became a great favorite in this country, combining as it did the slanting panels advocated by this couturier as well as the swinging grace of fringe posed at a low line. This gown well may have exerted a definite influence, thus accounting for the attention given fringed frocks now. At any rate, the fringed gown Is here, and may be said to be one of the fashions that indicates clearly the return of the vogue for trimmings. It is easy to understand this liking for fringe as a trimming, since it fits so perfectly in the mode of today. It forms capes and boleros, sug-
