is called strong minded by the men with
no brains and men who are not modest.
The time will come when strong minded
will not be q reproach |! Ii she have
pretty face, she is in danger of being
made pet or plaything. If she have not
pretty face she is reproached for her
plainness, and proceeds to daub her
cheeks, burn her hair, tint her lips, paint
her nails, shade her eyebrows, and gasp
that she may draw her c0rsets tighter.
Then she begins to learn the trade of the
adventures, She becomes a fraud inter
nally and externally She looks with
lofty contempt at the honest working
Igirls who earn their bread in honor and
IN virtue but she begins to draw money
herself from banks in which she has no
deposits. In time, this girl goes to Eu-
rope and becomes the morganatic wife of
Victor Emanaal as did -, or of a
BaYarian baron, as docs -. That's
what smartness brings our respectable
American girl to in the long run.
