hercer all the time. Young women
who come from the country districts
with high hopes Of independence and
Ideals about living their own life un-
trammeled by old traditions soon learn
that IL is a struggle harder than any

their views change and they begin to
think much better Of matrimony as a
vocation than they did before. II will
be some time before this new feeling
will have much weight IA lessening
