Having settled the suspicious destinies
OF her offspring, Mrs. Jar curled one
foot under her and took up her sewing.
ut Just made me think she said. as
she threaded her needle with awesome
dexterity. that the girls OF to-day have
a great advantage over the girls OF MY
day"
How so?" asked Mr.. Jarr.
We'll. there are so many ways OF live

They can take up professions. They
can be doctors or nurses or lawyers and
be celebrated. Women are entering al
most every field OF activity, these times.

for some man to come along and marry
and support them
NO" said Mr.. Jarr. its getting so
now that the young men look around
to find some girl with a good Job to sup
port THEM"
There, you .ee!' Mrs. Jarr spoke up.
IT'S just what | say. Girls get more
chances to be married. although they
, need not depend on It for their bread
and butter. The girl who can support
herself doesn't need to get married I'M
less she wants to. and so she has two
chances where It used TO be that she
had only one. She can marry the man
who can support her and she can marry
the a who CAN'T. In the old days
she couldn't possibly marry a man who
| couldn't make q living for her. They
would have starved. But now she need
not worry about being an old maid at
all"
Tho ethical morality OF the gentlemen
who belong 10 the PUT Your Wives-to-
| Work-Association'' evidently did not
strike Mrs. Jarr.
Mr.. Jarr did not desire to argue the
point. 40 ne only said II was true that

woman AT the present day remoyed her
from dependence upon Others.

When the city took over the Staten

that had been staggering across the
upper bay since the civil war and put In
a service OF big boats with two yellow

tested that a rcnan should do nothing
but shovel coal. With a strong union
and the diplomatic Timothy Healy be-

force their just demands that bremen do
nothing but IRE. They refrained from

Advocates OF the plan, however, put
against the argument of expense the as
