AN OPEN LETTER TO THE GIRLS.

Here is some common sense adise given by a Missouri editor to the girls of his town: “Don’t hang around the depot unless you are going away or are there to meet friends. Don’t go the to postoffice and shove about in a miscellaneous crowd. Don’t go to church and take a back seat with your escorts, then whisper and giggle throughout the sermon. Don’t be loud and boisterous and slangy. Stand on your dignity . and don’t form acquaintances quickly. Don’t carry your heart od your sleeve and don’t throw yourself into the arms of every good looking drummer or well dressed stranger who comes to town. Be womanly, be modest, be thoughtful * and serious at times; don’t unsex yourself, and thus lose woman’s sweetest charm. Two lots situated in desirable part of city, each 67x150 feet, for sale cheap; cash or time. Apply at Dempcrst office.
