ofcourse I want to do what is
right in the solemn warning busi.
ness, so l will give notice to all
simple young women who are now
selfsupporting and happy that
there Is no statute requiring them
to assume the burdens Of wifehood
and motherhood unless they prefer
to do So If they now have abundi
ance Of pin money and new clothes
they may remain single If they
wish without violating the laws of
the land. This rule is also good
when applied to young and self.

good clothes and have funds iii
their pockets, No young man who
is free, happy and independent

prefers it. But those who go into
it with the right spirit, Ethel, do
not regret It.
