Talks. By EDWIN . A. NYE.
TO A MOTHER.. Too love your little girl? Of course you do, else you would not be a mother, and it verges on Impertinence to make the Inquiry. Taking that for granted, then, you will not object to a few plain words from a man old enough to be your girl's father, will you? Of course ybu know as well as I do the Importance of maintaining confidential relations with your daughter. Bat what I want to speak to you about specifically is this: You should impress it upon your daughter that the man who asks her to keep anything from her mother Is to be regarded with grave suspicion. Make her realize that the fact Itself of proposing to her to keep her family in ignorance of his Intentions Is prima facie evidence that such a man's purposes are not honorable'to her. Explain to her that such a proposal ls an Insult. Many an. Innocent girl runs a tremendous risk because the romance of secrecy appeals to her. She feels complimented by being asked to Bhare in a covert love affair. What possible harm can come of It? But once caught in an entanglement of this sort there ls no telling where the matter may stop. And clandestine meetings spell ruin for your girt. Girls who work for a living are In especial danger, oftentimes it seems sad to say it from their employers. If your daughter is employed by some man who makes a suggestion of secret relations she ought to know that it ia better to lose her Job than her character. Jobs may be duplicated, reputation never. Your girl ought to know, for instance, that when a married man crosses the line of common courtesy or polite requirement she must beware of him. It is not necessary to teach your child that all men are ravening wolves or human hyenas. That would be untrue, buyShe must know, if she is to be safe from harm, that any man who gives any sort of reason for not wishing her parents to know about his alleged regard is dangerous. If he really cares for your daughter he will not object to publicity: if he
really loves her he will want the
world to know it. These are plain words. And the ad
vice may be considered trite. Bnt 1
have seen the dark waters close over
many a girl to her teens because nor
mother failed of her.duty. . .
And If I may save one girl from
heartache or rueful lament or ruin it
self by these suggestions it will have
been worth while.

IT'S A GOOD THING."
Are You Getting What Is Due You? Among Investment Securities Generally Recognized as Conservative, the 8 Stock of the American Telephone & Telegraph Comapny Stands at the Very Top Why are certain securities on the Stock Exchange List regarded as conservative for investment purposes? Because they give the highest returns possible consistent with safety to the investor. In any investment there are two things to consider the rate of interest and the degree of safety. Generally speaking, the lower the rate of interest the higher the degree of safety, and vice versa. Beyond a certain point in returns, investing ends and speculating begins. Investing assures reasonable profit with minimum risk. Speculating promises larger profits but entails greater risk. If you cannot afford to lose, you will do well to choose for investment those securities whose perfect combination of profit and safety entitle them to be classed as "conservative." - v Gmpare This Stock With Others Here Is a List of the Most Popular Investment Securities With Prices as Quoted on the Stock Exchange, May 16th, 1910
