The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1894-03-13

another Is to take board views, ant
another is to see a joke. And man,
other things besides. But on III,
other hand, 1t seems,to me there are {
heap ofjolly useful things girls can d.
a man can't. A sensible girl gets L
know the value of small things yoI
eat and drink, which is the secret o
success in small lives. Such a cir
goes into a kitchen and grubs abon
and gets hold of facts and solid infor
nation which will make the founda
ton of a happy home. Dull fool
That's what the revolving daughter
call a woman like that. But let mt
tell them this: She's worth thousand
emotional hysterical unhealthy-mind
ed girls who waste all their valuable
lime "yearning" instead of learning
Let girls sit up straight end read Mrs
Benton, instead of Topping about over
modern fiction. It will pay in the end
When man wants amusement he
may enjoy your spicy girl who has the
art of talking about as If she knew
more about things in general than she
really does and if he wants wife,
he looks round for practical, sensi-
BILE girl. But man never looks
round for one of the unsatisfied, dis
contented sort at any time: He hates
them. He knows by instinct that
they would depose him from his
throne and make him take back seat
if they could. He likes women who
are healthy in mind and body. OF
course, the revolter don't want to
marry, as rule. They only wish to
be free and all that. Well, you cannot
alter society, and if they were not
blind they would see that no girl is
free until she's married.
But the revolt is only a storm in
teacup, after all, and the women who
started it don't seem to me to be
worthy of any serious consideration.
"Latch-keys and more knowledge" is
the battle-cry of these unfortunate
young things, OF course, the girls
who want latch-keys are just the sort
who shouldn't have 'em. don't you
know. I'll bet their fathers and
mothers were quite right there. And
as to acknowledgement, the sort they
want any low-class barmaid could give
them no doubt. Vulgar girls like that
don't count.
l can not say 1 care much about
girls myself, and | shan't marry for
years and years yet, if ever do. But
Pm an awful ordinary chap, and /
speak for thousands of other awfullyl
ordinary chaps when / say that the
sort of girls chaps marry and love and
fight for are just womanly, home-shin-
ing girls, whose fathers and mothers
bless them all the time-just girls who
have got religion and faith all that,
and who don't know one end of latch
key from the other; just girls who, if
ever they have baby boys and girls
will teach them to say prayers and all
hat old-fashioned sort of stuff.
OF course, its cup to date" to be
and friendless, and at war
with your relations nowadays; but a
.irl, or man or anything's a fool to
90 out of the way to be miserable.
SO let those who want to revolt and
make an uncomfortable home worse
han it is, reflect bit first, don't you
Know, and seriously ask themselves
it's good enough before they
lick over the traces and worry their
yray-headed parents. Every dog has
lis day. The old people will die
and it's jolly wretched look
ng back and remembering you made
t hot for people who are dead and
zone. A latch-key's little thing to
upset home, don't you know.
