get what l once heard Henry
Ward Beecher say, Home is
the foundry of man. Ny young
sister, you ought TO be getting
yourself in training for that
calling now. God has given you
wings and you can be either an
angel or a moth. And the poor
est looking grub is moth when
its wings are gone. Don't spend
your time by scattering your
self with fringes and bangles
rats and your millinery gew
gaws, don't lace and squeeze
yourself out of your proper hu
man shape Get down off those
high heels, burn up those straight
fronts, those sheath gowns and
shameless peek-a- boos, and oc
cupy your time with something
else than primping and powder
ing and fussirg and fzzling and
flirting and waltzing and ten
cent novels and five cent thea
tres. If YOU don't, Lord have
mercy on the man who gets you
for a wife. He will get walk
ing drug store, doll with a tin
sci dress and saw dnst for
brains. Do you know that you
are headed now straight for the
sanitarium and the operating
table of a specialist. Snun these
things, turn from them at once
and let yourself grow up sweetly
and naturally, be healthy and
strong aud then when you meet
some man, whose character you
love, marry him and as the book
says, Live happy ever after"
Don't marry a man TO reform
him and don't marry for his
money. If you do you are just
as immoral as any woman who
sells herself. But now what
about the large class of women
who will never be home makers?
There are over million women
in the United States who con-
slider themselves untitled for the
responsibility and duties of do
nestle life. Flossy was SIX
