Rocelnshaii, Dear Headlight
—As I have nevtr written to the
paper before, I thought I would
write s ^>looo. 1 don’t tl^infr ^
fliVt, even with s Itashful boy, or
any other kind of one. 1 know
sums boys deserve to l»e flirted
with, but that is no mason why
we girls should degrude ourselves
by doing so. 1 think it is real
I Mid to h rout; |M»or boy's hearts by
being untrue to them. I long to
see the time wheu the girls of our
country will resolvo positively to
not koep coni|>sny with intemper
ate boys. Girls let us resolve to
«1<> all in i»nr power to reform the
yniiDg men end boys of our land.
Our parents have brought ns np
in the way we should go, aud I
am sure mine never taught nto to
flirt nor keep company with pro
fane nnd intemperate ls>ys. I am
only 18 years old and know bnt
very little about flirting, hut I
know that >t is a sill. 1 certain
ly do hope you will try to do bet
ter in tho future Ilian to flirt with
a bashful boy. I think more of a
bashful boy than I do of dudish
flirts. Blue Eyns.
