A Girls Choice
Of a Profession
Written Esp cially for the HERALD.


The choice of q profession or occnpa-
ton, and preparation therefor, is just
as essential to the success Of girls as
OF youths. Preparation for the strug-
giles of life, the acquisition of training
which will enable them to gain, or to
earn, a living, as we'll as q knowledge
of ordinary business gff airs, should al
ways be made by young people Of
either sex. To neglect such prepare
tion "a to enter life without proper
training for its serious burdens and
response bilitie=. Many an adult life,
especially among women, has been
rendered uuhappy, IL not miserable. by
lack OF proper training for profession
or occupation in youth, In very many
cases-when the necessity for action
arises, IL happens that natural talents
which might, in adult years, be ex-
erted for the support of a person, are
found to be practically useless at the
critical time through lack of proper
development and training in youth.
However great the natural talents,
they are often impotent, and cannot be
successfully eXerted in the struggle
for living, without proper training or
skill in application. In such cases it
often happens that an attempt to apply
the natural talents in the sphere of
practical affairs reveals an unfOrtup ate
case of misa pplication of energy. Ana
failure, bitter disappoin tment, and
blasted hopes, are the inevitable re.
suit.
Unfortunately under our social Gus
toms, young girls are too often per-
misted to attain adult years without
any adequate preparation for the grave

will serve her In times OF urgent need.
And In view OF these circu instances, 1t
behooves every mother, parent or
guardian, ware of the exigency which
may arise, In all cases, to

which will enable them in

such q degree of skill as will win
support, how many girls have bestowed
their hands to have broken their ala
baster box of precious ointment over
worthless and disreputable men. And
still others, when confrOn ted with
dire necessity, have done worse.
In these highly progressive times
when improved machinery has more
and more obviated the necessity for
crude labor, there is q growing de-

the great trouble is, they lack train

training or ability is certainly an heri-
ditary trait; the mother who Ia an ex-

the cycle of self-neglect is complete it

MRS. II HUNG CHANG.

The wife of Ii Hung Chang is said to
be the most liberal of all the Chinese
women Of her position. and through her
husbands sympathy with some Of the
ways Of the foreign devils, succeeded in
acquiring more education than any
woman in a similar place. She is now
fifty five years old. After her marriage
to the viceroy she continued her studies
under his direction, and has been al
ways the most accessible of the titled
women. She has been especially cor
dial 10 Americans. chiefly as the result
Of her experience with the missionary
doctors. although she also took the
trouble TO show her gratitude in a much
more material form. Before the French
war che was i'll with complicated sick
ness that her own skill-she had made
a study Of medicine-and the treatment
OF the native physicians were unable to
alleviate. Two American doctors-a
man and woman attached to the mis-
sions at Tien. Tsin-were called in. and,
through their efforts. she was restored
to health. She presented a dispensary
to the missionaries at Tien-Tsin. and
her husband did the same. But they
did not feel their obligations had ended
with these gifts, as they have both
from that time shown great hospitality
and friendliness to Americans. In her
way Of life (says the New York Sum she
has chung, however, with strictness to
the customs Of her own country. She
is said to look after the details Of her
household administration personally.
As more than one thousand servants
are employed there, her duties are
serious and are combined With her
labors as to what would be called treas
urer Of her husbands property, as she
follows the customs Of her country and
looks after his expenditures. She has
made her reputation as a leader in
fashion by inventing fifty different ways
in which her glossy black hair conld be
dressed. although it is probable that to
the average American they would all
look alike. Her feet are as disfigured
as are those Of all Chinese women Of
rank, and only being carried three hours
in the fresh air every day is che able to
make pretense at the exercise of
European women. Oil of orange and
acacia blooms are the component parts
of the bath which she takes twice daily,
and out of her fifty coiffures her favor
tie is q style called 1.-The Faithful Ora

guardian Of all good women. The hair
is twisted into the shape OF what might,

pear to be a dragon, and in what is
intended to be its mouth a white lotus
