Respectability of Work.

As rule the ladies who scorn to earn
money do not scorn to take it as gift,
says . lady writer. Their natural pro-
tectors gone, they will quarter them
selves on any relative who will open his
house for them--a cousin, o cousin 3
cousin-any small plea Of relationship is
sufficient. They will actually 40 a-begging
in delicate and dainty way among
Ahisnds, and receive anything any one
chooses to give. And it is well known
to every one that any offer Of marriage
to one Of them which promises a com
Portable home will be accepted. This is
the best end to be hoped for, but if the
girls are not attractive, they pass from
one long-suffering relative to au-
other until they are drought
into" old ladies' homes or placed
in genteel institutions, where they still
boast with their latest breath of their
geptility, and are as proud of never hav-
ing earned a penny as they should be
ashamed of it. Certainly there are
fewer such women in the world to-day
than there were twenty years ago but
there are still enough to shame good,
independent girls out Of efforts in which
they should be encouraged, with the
old bugaboo story that ladies never
work for livelihood. Ladies do,
ladies' will, il there is any need Of it; for
a true lady would rather do anything
honest than be an object Of charity;
and, in womanly way quite consistent
with all feminine charms, rejoices in the
p ,ssibility Of independence. Chicago
