Employment Bureau Opened.

A new feature has been introduced
in the work of the Odd Fellows of this
state in the shape of an employment
bureau for members only, and the
same has been opened in the temple in
Philadelphia. All the lodges in the
state will have the advantage of this,
and every meeting night bulletin of
men wanted will be displayed in the
lodge room of every lodge in the State.
When the sleighbells and wedding
bells are merrily ringing, it might be a
good thing for some of our fair maids
to read the following from a thought
full writer: 1.-THE average girl of today
if she has any well defined notion con-
cerning married life, takes husband
with the idea that he is to provide a
home, money and everything necessary
to carry on a household, while she is
merely to play the ornamental part in
the home life, the servants, house
keepers or some one else to do the rest
This is a mistake. She is truly bound
to assist in building the home as well
as her husband. A true woman believes
it her duty to play her full part in the
house economy, to superintend the
work, to be the supreme head of its
inner life. Those who look forward to
married life as period ofidleness have
poor conception of the duties the
situation Involves. ."-Ex.
