Lakes Lake's policewoman for fort t those ose girls both old and young who wish to 0 keep their own self respect and tell the respect of others I do clo not wish to pose as a l censor o of clothes Miss hiss iss Barrett said wit with II her winning winning- smile but if girls and older women would slop to think how conspicuous th the they y look with their blouses their short skirts and Ind their big red rell hats laats tilted to one side of the head the would they no longer longI long long- er wonder why the men whom the they pass are attracted b by their appearance appearance appear appear- ance and sometimes make insulting remarks Mute Messages to Mashers H And And as it my duty to do what I can car to protect the girls mils of the cit city I think it is ii he best t fur for or ine me to warn waru them theta of those things thing which encourage men t to mike uke improper a advances ances toward to toward to- to ward them In the ca case cage c of the older women Miss l Barrett continued they should refrain from doing doing- those things thing'S mentioned mentioned men men- honed above because of the undesirable undesirable undesirable able influence their appearance will have ha on their own daughters daughter and the dau daughters of others I have seen a l woman and her daughter walking down the street t together and as faras far faras faras as dress was concerned it was impossible impossible impossible im im- im- im possible to tell teU which was the older of the tho two Mama Some Flirt Herself The Thc mothers mother's face was smeared with ith rouge and ln her skirt was at lea least t four inches above c her shoe tops and her ber efforts to attract the thc attention of passing men were as plainly evident evi evi- evident evident evi- evi dent as the sill silly g- g giggle gle of a year 15 old Dl schoolgirl These mothers must not complain at the waywardness and willfulness of their daughters daughter until the they the learn to refrain from setting setting setting set set- ting such an example for the thc younger young young- er Ir minds to follow It is true that it is almost impossible impossible im im- impossible im- im possible for girls and women to buy gowns owns and hats that becomingly 1 1 arc are L l LOC inu nine HUle policewoman wenton went wenton w ellton on because the styles are set b. b by eastern and foreign and fashion designers an and the stores anI only purchase the newest and late latest t models with which to replenish their depleted stocks However if a woman woman woman wom wom- an insists insist on getting a certain style and will have no other the dealer will get that for her Swagger Stick Silly Another ridiculous an and conspicuous ous thing is for girls and women to carry swagger sticks an and I am glad to say that I have ha only noticed three instances of this kind in iu Salt Lake Those girls I w will ll add were not Salt Lake girls but had come here from other towns Swagger sticks arc are unnecessary unnecessary un un- necessary and will viII instantly attract the attention of anyone passing Men ren are prone to judge fudge a II girl b by her appearance ap ap- ap- ap and if her face is covered with ith rouge her skirts high the neck of her waist low and she sho carries a swagger stick the average man will get the wrong impression of her if she does docs not happen to be what her appearances indicate Girls should II know this and conduct themselves accordingly accordingly ac ac cordingly Besides giving giving- others the wrong impression of her the tile girl who pencils pencils pencils pen pen- b her eyelashes is liable to injure the tho sight of her eyes ees Miss iss Barrett added Cites Horrible Example I I no noticed tic cd a n girl irl walking down the street one day who had on a l. l large red hat which winch was tilted to one side of her head hend Her skirts were much shorter than those of other girls and her shoes and stockings stocking were light colored making her limbs very conspicuous con con- In one of her stockings was a big hole Whenever cr she flipped her skirt around her limbs were ex ex- posed to the knees Upon overtaking o her bel I rec recognized her as a 3 girl I had d n a department store it a number of times and I happened to know that she was living living- a n straightforward life It Dont you know d dear that men will kill get the wrong impression of yo you u if you dress like this I asked her She replied that other girls dressed that way and that she couldn't see sec how it would harm her I hn had a good heart to to heart heart talk with her then explaining the tho p pitfalls her a aIl ap aI 1 l w would gild lead her into nn and 1 i arn nm glad to say that her dress has been en much simpler since then Parents Real Sinners Lots of girls would be save saved from lives of sin and shame if warned of their danger dang in lime time Miss s Barrett then said The Tile trouble is that parents parents parents par par- know too little about what their ch children are arc loin doing duing They either cither fail to read the papers or think that such shelf things as are aro told about in them will never comes to their home homes Among other things I should like to warn girls against meeting men menon menon menon on the streets and accompanying them than to shows and dances On several several sev sev- eral oc occasions I have known of girls burls meeting a man and askin asking him to tu take them theta to some amusement place This is is the most dangerous thing a ayoung young girl gul can doMen do 10 Men lieu en as a rule will not make ail advances ad- ad vances to girls unless encouraged t to todo todo do so and this is is especially true o omen of men in uniform But lint when a a. girl gir irl smiles smile nt tt a soldier wriggles wriggle her al almos almost al- al almost mos most t bare shoulders flirts her skirts skirt anti and otherwise invites ites his attention can an you yon ou blame him Inns for giving it 7 One more thing I wish wih to call cal I attention to Visa Miss Ii Barrett concluded cd eI is is that too many ninny young oung couples couple are allowed to roam around town tow until the early hours hour of morning and aud this despite the fact fac that there is a curfew law in Snit Salt Lake which says that no person under undo the age of 8 shall be he allowed allotted upon the streets of the city after 0 A p p. p m. m unless accompanied by a parent o or guardian This ordinance is being boim broken every day and the parents ar arlo areto are nrc to lo blame because they will not cooperate cooperate op co erate crate with the police in enforcing itI itI it I I have hn made only a few arrests so far as I think it is better hetter to counse counsel the young than to try to coerce them but hut I should like to punish the tine older women who try to act let and look like girls in their teens teens' because they are arc indirectly responsible for the fall o of many pure innocent girls Co |
