 Mrs Ruth c. D. HaYens gave bright talk on "The Girl of the Future at tho Church of Our Father. She made d prd- test against the old Idea that woman must be household drudge
 The married girl of the future," shs said, twill be set free by cooperative methods, half the families on a square enjoying one luxurious. well appointed dining room. with expenses divided pro rata among the families who are its prd prietors. Another section of housekeep ing will be simpliied by the girl ef the future-copking Good cooks tfidy be rare, but all cooking is ovefddne We are passing dangerously through the era of annual sacrifice, sweetened starch, boiled dough and cellliloid pie. fhe girl of the future @ill abandon these means of suicide and adopt wholesome, hat ural diet, largely of the fruits witch come to us in such orderly snccessiofi and generous abundance, ready for usd. an economy of time and labor and money, and especially of health. which is beyond present computation.
 'Horsecleaning will not be bugd. boo to the girl of the future. 1t was a woman who wrote that melancholy poem expressing the desire to die in autumn time. She wanted to get away before the fall cleaning set in, The house of the future will be cleaned skillfully and thoroughly by companies organized for that purpose It will be the work of g day, not the dread of months and the labor of weeks It's results will be a sense of freshness and immunity from disease, instead of backache, nervous prostration. collapse and an influx of pat ent medicine
 The girl of the future then will select her own ayocation and take her own train ing for it. If she be house worker, as majority prefer to be, she will be so val. uable on that line as to command great respect and good wages If she be an | architect or jeweler or an electrical en. gineer or steam blow driver, she will not rob cook by mutilating dinner or dressmaker by ainatenr cutting and sewing or a milliner by erecting her owii l bonnet. not bit sooner than she will | buy pine and birthstone and make her | own matches and embarrass the original ] Blue Hen
 Matches are satisfactory already Cooking will be when cooks choose their profession for love of it and are trained and paid and honored and people are | fined who cook without knowing how The dressmaker by choice and prepara- ton will be an artist. and the girl of the future will not come apart Ut unseason- able times in public places
 50 it will be seen that. although a mi, nority of the girls of the future will sometimes choose and prepare to be law yers or astronoiDers or civil engineers, instead of housekeepers. the home of the future and the husbaud-aBd iIl this caso he spells it with big H. will not be left to the mercy of incompetent and exas- ! perating servants Not at all The sow ing girl of the future will not be serv. ant except in that general sense in which we arc all servants in just so far hs We | serve humanity We are servants in too small a degree. every one of ps The house helper will not be Incompetent, 1 because the development and training of woman for hef best and truest work will have extended to her, and she will be maid of homework because she loves if and is better adapted to 1t than to any 1 other employment She will preside in the kitchen with skill and science. and ! you will not pay her .8 month and ask 1 her to take Gs part of her wages a dirty woolen petticoat and pair of mismated shoes. ilnportuuate for repairs neither will you underfeed her and offer her Q precarious ironing board across two 1 chairs for bed.
 ''The service girl of tho future will be paid perhaps double or treble her present l wages. with wholesome food. a cheerful room, an opportunity to See an occss- sional cousin and soue leisure for recre- ation. At present this would be ruinous, and whys Because too frequently the family has only one producer. The wife is the consumer. producing only more consumers Daughters grow up and around man like lilies of the field. They toll not. neither do they spin. And yet say unto you that even solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these,
 As began to say, every meihber of every family of the future will be pro ducer of some kind and in some degree. The only one who has the right of ex- emption ia the mother. for child can hardly Do born with cheerful views oi living whose mothers life has been for it's sake double burden. From this root spring melancholy. inhdelity, insanity, suicide. The production of hnman sotifs is the highest production of all, the one which requires most preparation, truest worth, grayest care and holiest consecra- tion. If the girl of the future recognizes this truth, she will have made an advance indeed. But apart from this condition every member of the family should be . material producer, and then the produ. cer in the kitchen will get such remunera. ation for her skill as will forbid her tc be the hopeless. shirking, migratory crea ture of today.
 ."Much might be said of what the gifl of the future will not do. but time for. bids. She will occupy desirable positions and owe her success to her fitness and worth She will hold and enlarge hel place in the professions. She will almost monopolise lighter occupations. She vii fill majority of the government offices She will be chief of division, head of bu reau, consul, superintendent of industrial schools, director of insane, inebriate ant orphan asylurns. She will be on the civi service commission Immigration boards boards of health, Inauguration commit tees, college faculties, in senate ant house. nrohnhlY ofl tho supre1ne bench
