Dear Miss Grey-What is your
opinion of the Princess roller skat.
ing rink? Can you tell me what
class of people go there and is it
proper to go there without an
escort and not chaperoned? Is it
proper for her to skate with any
body that asks her, whether she is
acquainted with them or not? If a
young girl goes alone is it proper to
allow a young man to take her
home, when she met him for the
first time that evening? If young
men say out of the way things to
girls while at the rink, what should
they do?
A.-D 1t is public place of
amusement, therefore it cannot be
confined to any one class of people.
CD 1t is decidedly no place for
young girls to visit when alone and
unchaperoned. CD 1t seems to me
your womanly instinct would not
permit of your skating or assoc. at
ing in any way with young men you
are not acquainted with. ca 1t
certainly is not proper for a young
girl to allow young man she has
just met to escort her home. 60
If a young girl conducts herself as
a lady it is hardly probable that
young men will say out of the way
things to her. If such people as
that attend the rink then it GER
tainly is no place for girls.

A western paper some time ago
made a canvass to discover which
sort of girl is most likely to marry
the business girl, the girl who
goes in for music and other accom-
plishments, fashionable dress and
society, but who knows little OF
housekeeping, or the purely domes-
tic girl. They did not ask a man
which was his ideal, but which one
he had actually married. The bust
ness girl won out.
There is thought to be feeling
among men that a girl, by going
into business, is apt to become cold,
hard, forward; to lose much of her
womanly charm and modesty. 9th
ers resent her taking mems posi-
tons and working for less money.
But evidently these are mere mas
culine theories that quickly are
routed by the appearance Of the
right business girl. She is such
concrete contradiction of all their
disappearing distractions that she
knocks them all to bits in a twink
ling.
The average girl who goes into
business meets many more people
than she would in her probably
small circle of friends. Meeting
people is, of course, not marrying
them, but evidently one can't marry
the person she has never met. The
girl who meets so men instead of
five, has As more opportunities of
discovering the one who attracts or
is attracted. This desn't mean that
every girl in business is on the
lookout for husband. Probably
not one girl enters business with
any such idea. But it merely shows
the opportunities offered by bust
ness life contrasted with home life.
Indeed, the stay-at-home girl is
more apt to be thinking of matri-
mony than the busy working girl,
and more apt to view in the light of
a possible lover the stranger she
meets in her social world.
The business girl. with her many

why" with fine scorn, prob
ably you spell cat with 'k'!"
Pretty Emma storm, instructor
in the Bloomfield Aight school,
gazed down at the big form of her
dullest pupil. Henry Dudney; at
least that was what he had told
her his name was, but she rather
doubted it. He was somehow out
of place. Although his clothes
were old and he declared that he
was a bum, travelling from place
to place as he desired, he still
seemed to her, in some indefinable
way, to belong to better class
of people than the tramps. And
yet she must take him at his word.
Certainly in the night school he
bore out by his dullness everything
he had told her of his unframed,
Unschooled life.
Certainly l spell it with k
Dudney replied, gazing up at her
with a smile, IF it's that kind of a
cat"
What kind of a cat?" Emma
asked quickly.
why, kitten, of course Dud-
ney replied with perfectly serious
countenance.
Emma gasped. Why, he was wit
ty, and he was certainly more in
tellectual and educated than he
professed to be. Puzzled, she hand
ed him a book.
Take this" she cried. Il don't
believe you're half as stupid as you
make out to be. See what it is.
The Philosophy of Life, by Ed
ward Roberts. Read that and see
what you make of it,"
She noticed that Dudney with
difficulty repressed a start as she
handed the book to him. She
wondered why. He certainly puz-
zled her and interested her. Ever
since his advent in the class two
weeks before he had been claim
ing more and more of her
thoughts. Frequently he had
walked home with her from the
night school, and at these times
she realized that she had forgot
ten the dullness he had manifest
ed in the class. And then, sud
denly, as the blood rushed into

BILE.
Dangers there are, Of course,
which a girl must guard against.
There are always influences to
make a girl familiar, flippant, posi-
tive, unpleasantly cocksure in her
manner. In office or store or fac
tory there are associations of this
kind. A girl should watch herself
that she does not let them affect
her. No fine man admires these
qualities in a girl, and when girl

sweetness and gentleness, then she
is indeed lessening her chances of
marriage.
Some girls acquire a distaste for
domestic life after a few years Of

ly. But it is doubtful if such girls
would not do the same if they mar
ried straight from the home. Their
faults are inherent in themselves
and are not the outcome of a bust
ness experience,
The lack of knowledge Of domes-
tic affairs is often held up against
the business girl. But in these days
of domestic science classes, maya
zines and books filled with help on
this subject, no earnest girl but can
overcome this handicap.
1t is perfectly right and proper
for a girl to want to marry and
have a home If her inclinations run
that way. 1t doesn't follow that
she would go out on man hunt.
The proper one will come along,
never fear that. And girl does
not lessen her chances by going in
to business life If she remains her
own sweet, true self.
