women who know the business. Has
she never been trained to do anything
to earn money!" 4.-s..4as -e-
Never. The family thought it
wasn't nice for girls to work for their
living, so their father supported his
daughters off his salary till he died"
So, the old story again = never
thought they would need to earn their
living. so made no preparation for it!
Even if they had had each a compe-
tency in her own right it would not
have been wise to neglect learning some
money earning occupation. Not long
ago young society lady who had
large fortune lost it all in bad in
vestments. She is now getting her
bread as secretary to a woman of
wealth.
In the uncertain social conditions OF
today the wise parents are those who
see that their daughters are trained to
some useful trade or profession. who
knows what will happen? Sociologists
find that the women who sink into the
depths of darkness and despair are
oftentimes the very ones who were
reared most tenderly; then by caprice
of fortune were thrown on the world
helpless as babies.
One of the frightful mistakes of the
age-one for which we are paying dear
ly-is the impression that labor is de-
grading, that laziness and uselessness
are marks of gentility. Heaven have
mercy on us! Is blank incapacity a
thing to be proud of? Suppose Miss
Millionaire. who cannot comb her own
hair, and Miss Kitchen Girl should be
cast away on an island where each
had to hustle for her living, which
would survive?
The more you know of things useful
the more of woman you are. 1t is
not wise, it is not safe, in this time
for a woman to grow to maturity igno-
rant as a three months old baby of any
money earning occupation. And as for
being lady, the real lady is she who is
gentle. refined. Intelligent and well bred
whether she has an income of $4,000 =
year or does daily manual labor. For
tune is an accident of outward circum-
stance; ladyhood is sometimes inherent
in the woman.

life leave you without your knowing
