A WORKING GIRL WIFE.

A WORKING GIRL WIFE.
Young Mr.. Knox. son Of the score
tary Of state, ran away with young
girl who worked for living aud mar
ried her.
The couple eloped because the par
ents Of the young man objected to his
marrying the girl.
Well
A great fuss was made about the
matter. 1t was not expected the young
man would select somebody below the
salt" Some girl Of aristocratic breed
ing from upper Fifth avenue or New
port would have filed the bill.
Meantime Knox junior has gone to
work to support his wife.
Good!
If some such thing did not happen
once in awhile in 1.-The upper circles" Of
our American life we might begin to
feel as If a part of our population had
lost its red blood.
In all likelihood the Knox family will
not need to go very far back in its his
tory to find wives and mothers who
worked for a living.
dC khcSl VI us are uOW OIL earth anu
In the enjoyment of reasonable health
because Of working fathers and moth
ers, and we are proud OF it!
Mr.. Knox, ST.. himself is an able
man. No doubt about that. But he got
his healthy body and his keen brain
from some strong. wide hipped, sensi-
Bile and hardworking grandmother, a
grandmother either on this or the other
side of the sea.
And the boys brain came in a like
way, as shown by his strength Of pur-
pose and sturdy independence.
And this is true:
You will find the mothers or grand
mothers OF the future presidents and
state secretaries and successful bust
ness men among the working girls in
the kitchens and shops and fields. Quite
certainly you will not find them in the
congenial society of lap dogs or smok-
ing cigarettes.
Good for young Knox,
To say nothing about his being in
love with his girl. an all sufficient rea-
son for marrying her. he may be thank
full to her all the days of his life be-
cause to get her he had to become a
self respecting, self supporting work
er, owing no man anything save good
will.
And he will get in his working girl
wife no doubt just what he wants-a
dev oted, loyal. loving wife and a good
mother OF his children
What more could a man want in a
wife?
