The newspaper wit aims his shafts of humor
at no object with such keen pleasure and de
light as when he directs them at the modern
young woman, her caprices and tendencies.
And it must be Acknowledged that he does so
not without cause In many instances. While
there are thousands of young women who
represent what Is best and highest in young
womanhood, whose purposes in life extend
beyond the frivolities of dress and outward
adornments, there is, on the other hand, a
large percentage that look upon life "as

These young women live under the delusion
that social distinction, beauty of person and
richness OF apparel make the woman. They
ore slaves to custom and fashion, and revel in
external attractions. They accept the glitter
foe the gold, the hernldry and trappings of
tbs world for the priceless essence of woman's
worth which exists within the mind Their
highest attainment is not the possession OF
true womanhood, but that their position in
society may be of conspicuous order,
and thereto they bend all their energies.
Hours are spent over the latest fashion plates,

true young woman's ambitions stretch
beyond the ballroom and the milliner's estab-

grand in womanly virtue, and by her exam
pie inspires others TO secure the same priceless
crown of womanhood. This is the woman
that commands the respect and admiration of
the world, not temporarily, but permanently.
In her, friends recognize rich store of prac-
