where there is a grown daughter
there is usually a constant fuss ABOUT
the discipline of the younger children,
the division of the housework, the or
dering of the servants, or the arrange
ment of the furniture. The happy
home life of which the Poor Working
Girl, who goes out into the world 10
seek her fortune, is supposed to De de-
prived, is largely myth IKE many
Homes are happy where the adult
members of the family are selr-supz
porting or Independent, and have real
interests and absorbing occupations
No grown person economically ue-
pendent upon another can be entlrely
happy and this is true of husbands
and wives where the wife is MADE 10
feel her dependence.
The greatest kindness a parent can
do a child is to make it resourceIul'
capable and independent. This ap-
niles to girls as well as to boys, to
rich as well as to poor. A practlcal
training which will put her in posi-
ton to support herself VIII pc no o.
stacle to a girls happy marriage: On
the contrary, quite, she is more nhelS
to meet congenial, eligible, companion
able men in a business or a proIes-
sion than in society" where the COM
plant is constantly made OF the idck
of men of ability. Men who are worth
while, men who have a real work 70
to CAD around to dances and prloge
parties and teas. Accordingly the
burden of society" is left to the very
young chaps and the very worthless.
equally Ineligible, and undeslrapie.
The wage earning girl marries JUST as
quickly and lust as well as the girl
who stays at home, has no more alb
sorbing interest than an invitation TO
a party and whose profession. d1s-
guise it as you will, is simply hus-
bandhunting. Every woman wants
to marry if she can make SAUSAGE
tory alliance, but no woman shoulo
be dependent upon marriage for a
livelihood.

AS the season advances the hat
crowns mount higher and still higher
and the hats themselves descend low
err over the couture, until with many
of the peach basket shape the wear
er's eyes are almost hidden. Needless
to say these extreme styles are not
adopted by women of the best taste in
dress. One model on modified lines,

pressed leghorn in soft cream shade,
