Summary
Save the Girls is an 1880 American anti-white-slavery book by reformed gambler Mason Long. In it, the author crusades against the social evil of prostitution by presenting a series of pathetic portraits of young women from various social classes who are brought low by such temptations of city life as the theater, the racecourse, and street flirtations.

Included are vignettes of vice like "The Evils of Dancing - Sad Results of a Public Ball," in which innocent Marie, out for a good time, falls prey to the type of 'sporting men' who prowl such events in search of a partner for more than just The Glide or the Boston Dip. - Summary by Grant Hurlock

Interesting point of view from the author. We must remember that he is writing in the 1880s and so his thoughts are typical of the time he was living. Opinions of fallen women by society and how they became to be in such a position was of interest, and the author’s opinion of dance halls, balls and beautiful clothes being to blame was also interesting to hear. Opinions such as these may seem absurd nowadays but it is good to be able to look back into the past with open eyes. The narrator was very monotone but clear with his wording.
