CAREER FOR YOUNG WOMEN.

Each Should Fit HerseIa for something
as Vocation.
The strenuous life Of today demands
that young woman, no less than
young man, should have definite ideas
concerning a career, and that her edu-
cational work, and particularly her
college coll training, shall be along the
I line In Of preparation for such career. At
least this is the opinion that is en-
tertalned BY the up-to-date girl and her
family, and the number Of young girls
who are entering the! professions or
fitting themselves for business life
proves that the contingent of the COM
munity which believes in professional
or business careers for women is a
large one and steadily growing. There
is one woman in toWna prominent
worker in clubs and philanthropic as
sociations-Who has carved out a ca
reer for herself in a literary way and
is DESTROYS and even anxious that her
boys and girls shall have a definite
life work. Three of the children have
pretty well defined ideas as to what
they desire to make their life work.

ness Of this young girl: Yes, she is.

more than the words conveyed the im-5
preston that marriage was the opposite
OF desirable career, and the resort
