Chicago Inter Ocean: The motto for
the girls of 1884 should be. Let no old
bachelor escape One of the first re
corded sentences ever written contained
the divine words And the Lord said it
is not good that the man should be alone;
will make him an help meet for him. F"
Would the ladies please notice the words
help meet?" They are wonderfully
expressive A man with help meet"
is made man, if there is any man in him.
But it does not mean a parlor ornament
In these days foolish notion has gone
abroad that a young man should not
marry until he has a competence laid by
to support wife, and the ladies them
selves are largely responsible for the false
sentiment But no woman who reads
"help meet, and understands it signifi-
canoe, will subscribe to such a sentiment
A wise woman who when girl married
for love, and when a widow married for
fortune, gave this advice to the writer s
generation ago: Marry for love and
work for your riches We commend
this as another maxim upon the matri-
monial banner of 1884 The man or
woman who loves, and has health of
body and vigor of mind and yethesitates
is poor coward who viii continue to
deserve loneliness in the attic The Inter
Ocean has just this to say to the girls;
Shut the piano for couple of hours; go
into the chambers and dust and sweep;
lie on an apron and HE to the kitchen and
learn all its mysteries; takethe grocers'
and the butchers book and make out your
orders, and see TO it that they are properly
filed, and be sure there is nothing in all
this that does not eomport with the digni-
ty and honor of the most queenly woman
that lives. Now, young man, just pass
} that saloon. You ought to be ashamed
