housework has no business to be decked
out in fnery and rambling about in
search of fan and frolic, unless her par
ents are rich, and in that event she needs
the watchful direction OF good mother

fun. but it should be well chosen and
ell;timed No woman or girl who will
not work has a right to share the wages

if she should still be little wild the
honest toll she has done will confer upon
her some degree of right to have her own
way, ill judged though it may be.'
