Washington, Dec. 3.-The weather bu-
reau this morning warned the middle
Atlantic and New England coasts and
lower lakes that the storm now central
over the south Atlantic states, for which
signals were hoisted well in advance
yesterday, promises to move rapidly
portheastward in a manner similar to
the storm of Nov 90, ami it is feared it
will be equally dangerous to mariners.
All shipping is advised to remain in
port. On the '0wer lakes the storm VIII
be attended by high northwest winds
and snow. The entire area from the
Mississippi river eastward is under the
storms influence.
WHAT TO DO WITH DAUGHTERS.
''It is strange fact. disputed by
few, but generally corroborated, that,
while young men are looking askance at
matrimony, young women, who are sup
posed to find the responsibilities of mar
riage the more irksome. are apparently
as much inclined to it as ever" says
Kate Upson Clark in Leslie's Weekly.
Indeed, women with any pride of sex
must feel their blood boil at the cartoon
ist and the paragrapher, who vie with
each other in depicting the agonizing
efforts of the Mays and the Angelinas to
coax a proposal out of the unwilling
Claudes and Algernons.
THE mothers of the young women
seem to share their wishes. In conse-
y. ,1o,s ioly-
ing these fond parents are placed IN a
most unenviable position. They scarcely
dare to invite a young man to their
houses. Since affairs are In this state,
we must train our daughters according
ly. In order to retain their self-respect
they must occupy perfectly independ-
ent attitude. They must be taught that
ideal marriages are rare, and even an
ordinarily happy union Is none too COM
mon. Therefore, since either one OF
these desirable boons may not come
their way. they must be ready to grasp
some other. There are many good
things besides matrimony. Therefore,
while holding ones self toward marriage
in q proper position Of tentative accep-
tance, it is worth while to look over the
field and find out what blessings, in the
line Of life work, are within the reach
OF the average woman.
MANY mothers discourage the desire
CT their daughters to go to college. To
those who intend to teach college
diploma Is now necessity. It is also
substantial help in securing the con-
stantly multiplying positions as cash
iers, floor walkers, proof readers, insur-
ance agents-in fact, every business in
which highly trained intelligence is re-
quired. Naturally, professional success
is also nearly impossible without it. All
this is settled. 1t is no longer matter
OF opinion.
1T is true that the college girl some
times becomes slangy and careless, and
loses that sweet longing for
home which has been counted one OF
woman's most alluring attributes, but
these are usually mere surface and tenn
manifestations. The eternal
womanly' is there, just as it was in Eve
and Rachel and Jezebel-and with much
better morals, you may be sure. And
what is the use in being the dependent,
clinging, adoring creature of the senti
mentalist when there is no man at hand
to depend upon and cling to and adore?
while retaining unimpaired
the faculty for depending and clinging
and adoring (the poor girls can not lose
it if they would!), let us teach our
that it is contemplate to be
hanging around. idly awaiting the at
tentions of lot of impudent young
men, who are as likely as not to chaff
al the way in which the girls make
eyes at them, and who poke fun at the
frantic efforts which are put forth to en-
trap them by some of these men-covet-
ing maidens.''
