Chester Thornton knew that some of the young people of Briardale were "fast," but not his Betty! Then one day, on the train, he overheard two young men talking, and they mentioned Betty's name. Could Betty have been doing anything behind his back that he would be ashamed of - it seemed inconceivable. But that evening his worst fears were fulfilled. What should he do? How could he help Betty save herself from this hideous life into which she had fallen? His solution was drastic and it required grit and courage. But in the end it brought happiness to the entire family and to Betty romance sweeter than any she had ever imagined. Mrs. Hill tackles the problem of modern youth skillfully. She knows its perils and temptations and she shows how youth and its parents can come to a happy and contented understanding in the more vital things of life.
