These women just described, can scarcely be called White Slaves in the proper sense of that term. They are "slaves," but they brought the slavery upon themselves. The Summer excursions on the lake in large pleasure boats where vice can revel without fear and where young boys and girls without any restraint fall into sins that lead to terrible social evils, are another primary "feeder" for the "redlight" districts. The city asleep does not realize the fact that the "moonlight" excursions on the waters of Lake Michigan start a hundred girls on the road to ruin and the prostitute's grave in one night! And this is the first chapter of the women dressed in scarlet tonight. Above these women like an ominous shadow is Man and His Lust! Man and his insatiable passions! Man who reckons not the destruction he sows about him, the homes he robs of precious ones, the broken-hearted mothers and fathers sent to an early grave because he inoculated some innocent child with his venom. To fit our descriptions, somewhere, you can find in the "redlight" districts a woman who will stand up and say: "That is my story." In one night in the South side "redlight" district in a visit to eight houses, twenty-one girls were found who stated that soulless men, who made capital of their ignorance of the world and its ways, robbed them of their virtue while they were under the influence of their first drink, or stole their virginity after they had promised to marry them. THE DAILY LIFE OF A PROSTITUTE. But to return to the scarlet woman as she is today. Here is the routine life of the prostitute in the levee district: The women in a house rise about two o'clock in the afternoon, dress and eat their breakfast. They are then sent by the "landlady" or keeper of the house to the parlors, to wait for prospective customers. When a customer comes in he is "sized up." If he appears to be a spender and buys plenty of drinks, courtesy is extended to him and an effort made to keep him as long as his money lasts. If he is "a dead one" he is forced to pay his price and depart as speedily as possible. These women entertain as many as thirty men in one night. That is the record at least, that one girl declared she was forced to maintain. At six o'clock, or near that hour, supper is served to these women; a number of them in a house eat while the others stay "on watch." Then the evening's work begins. By midnight a greater part of these lost souls are maudlin drunk. Their work continues until four o'clock in the morning when they are allowed to seek rest. Even then the evil does not sleep. There is the "dog watch." One or two girls face a day of horror. They are kept ready for the lax hours of business. Many of these women do not live in the houses. They live in the flats bordering on the "redlight" districts. THE SLAVES OF THE "CADETS."
