sat down and cried for more worlds to
conquer. There are years of battle

beyond her reach. Dear little girls af-
fiicted with aspirations, who are plan

out in life on your own hook, take the
advice of one whose body aches from
trying to paddle her own canoe, and
don't do it. If you have father who
is willing to support you. gracefully
permit yourself to be supported. If
your father can't or WON'T do this, find
some other man who will. If he isn't

MARRY WHOM SHE WILL"
A man of the world once said to girl
who, recovering from the pestilence OF
ambition, announced her determination
to arise and go back to her fathers
house after four months trial of indie
pendence: at is the wisest move you
ever made in your life, my child. l am
delighted with your common sense. If
girl has home, that's the place for
her. She has no business battling
among men until she is old, tough and
homely" When he has the notion, let
the devil alone for telling tales out Of
school. 1t is so essentially true, rosy
checked innOcentS, that there is no place
for your foolish valor in the big world

warfare, a grand transformation scene
takes place, and 10! you are ''old, tough
and hOmely'-you have gained the pass
port that admits you to the ranks, but it
has cost you round sum, as your heart
and mirror tell you. A st. Paul philan-
thropist, who is given to emphatic ex-

how she is situated. the woman who
hustles for her own living has hades.''
So she does until she has burned to a
cinder and lost feeling. Sweet girl

mothers apron-Strings, your course lies
smooth and straight to glory, and you
are going to trot it in 2:3O, while the

fact, you're going to do nothing of the
sort. You're likely to lose the best you
have and get nothing in its place. To

to you Oh earth. You will turn out in
time to only mop yourself off with a
sponge, jump into your clothes, Scald
your vitalS with cup of boiling coffee,
and despite your heroic efforts, find
your employer scowling at you with
