A COMPLAINT.
(To the -Editor of the Evening .'Star.)' ■',, Sib,—Can you give me any advice wbr.i' to do in the following case P—My daughter, a child of sixteen years, has been inveigled by some of the insidious clap-trap used by the Salvationists to testify, as it is called by ihem. Now, acting from advice by me and her well I wishers, she has discontinued her visits to these wild visionary places, and she desires to be left aloue, but—will you believe it?—one of the Army actually goes in the middle of the day to the house where my girl is at service, and I suppose wishes further to press her into this objectionable mob. They have actually advised her to leave her situation, because it is a public house. If you can advise me in this matter you will relieve my feelings.—l am, &c, F. Tetlet. [We feel at a loss in the matter of advising you ; the only thing to be done is to exercise parental control, and that combined with the good sense of the girl should guide her.— Ed. Star.]
