The Old Fashioned way.

Do you know, if I had a daughter
I think I would bring her up the old
fashioned way, with this one eXcep-
toni would teach her some useful
craft in case she was thrown on her
OWE resources, but I would pray night
and day that she might never be thrown
on those resources. You may say what
you will, the girl who has TO earn her
own way. depend on her own wits and
live by her own law has my sincere
sympathy.
Girls haven't so many rights when
YOU come down to it. They can't do a
third OF the things men can, but one
right they haVe-the right to be taken
care of and protected, 10 have shell
tered girlhood. Afterward they may
marry and be as worldly wise as they
please, or fortune may be unkind TO
them and they may have to go out into
the great world and make their own
way. but al least they viii have that
happy. innocent time OF girlhood to
look back upon.

a story 1t was one of those French
things which can be taken in a dozen
ways, but which has one meaning for
the knowing ones. Well, none of them
should have understood it, but they all
did. II flashed. through their eyes like

Exceptions to the Rule.

Oh of course there are exceptions!
But you'll find those exceptions mostly
among the girls who although they
have come to the city away from their
homes still have the influence of home
life. owing TO the kindness of friends or
relatives. Home inf1uence"-yes
know it's a bit out of fashion, but it
means everything in the world to the
girl who is a true woman and has the
ability TO feel, to suffer and to be inf1u-
enced. and she who has not that ability
is a nondescript and comes under the
head neither of man nor of woman.
OF course this isn't strictly Kate
Clyde stuff. Kate Clyde is supposed to
be foolish and chatty and cynical and
what I call ''rococo," but for once
intend to break away There is a
need of a chat of this sort, and if even
one girl reads it and it helps her
shan't feel it has been in vain.
1t is perhaps because 1 know a good

The Life In Bohemia.

There are three girls that / know and
the oldest is under twenty-five They
all have homes in other cities they
could go to if they chose, but they
cannot any more because that routine
of life has become impossible to them.
John Boyle O'Reilly wrote: Il would
rather live in Bohemia than in any
other land" but he didn't add that one
has to live in Bohemia after certain
time spent in it. 1t is like the taste for
highly spiced foods. They may be bad
for one and they are undoubtedly an
acquired taste, but one can't go back
to the plain, unseasoned meats for all
that. The girls are good to the core,
warm hearted and generous, but they
are hopelessly warped and il will take
them years to get back to the normal
point of view. They live in studios in
bachelor apartments and they take
their meals at little French or Italian

Between ourselves. and at the risk OF
shocking any strong minded woman
who reads this, viii confess that there
is much about this new woman move
ment which does not please me. fer-
haps it is because it is so new that us
votaries are apt to overdo things OIL
and adopt a pose. But why VIII lhey
be so aggressive about 1t?
To me a girl is a girl, and no amount
of reasoning can transform her into
nice boy or a frivolous young matron
or too wise divorce, and these are
the roles that most girls want to adopt
nowadays Why not be clever, write or
paint and do things in the world, and
yet remain a sweet and wholesome girl

there they sit at their frugal meal after

meeting of men on equal and familiar
ground and the fencing with them-the
worldly wise, world weary soul that
takes the place of the bright, fresh
spirit of youth and makes of the girl
of twenty-three the equal of the woman
of forty who has lived a sheltered life!
And what stories, what great books,
does this life bring out? Works of
genius that will last forever? No; as a

The Blowing Rock Hotel is the first
hotel ON the mountain proper and faces
the noted Horseshoe bend from which the
visitor beholds one of the grandest of ma
lures panorama scenes that can be con-
ceived by human imagination. Thousands
of feet below one sees mountains piled on
top of mountains, gorges of gran
deur, mountain sides banked with the
mountain laurel or rhododendron as if a
supernatural hand had decorated the great
cliffs for the delight of these visitors.
The Blowing Rock has the largest num-
Der of visitors on the mountain and has
cottages at its command to take care of
the overflow. A bowling alley, new tennis
courts, the ball room in which so many
memorable social events have been held,
the spacious parlors and the long YER
andas make this hotel the popular meet
ing place for cottagers.
The Blowing Rock is this year under the
management OF Mr.. u. d. Sprague, whose
wife formerly Miss Carraway, of New
Bern), is one of the most popular danes
on the mountain. Mr.. Sprague is known

here from all sections of North Carolina,
